about

Fang Dazeng was a Chinese war photographer and correspondent who went missing during the Chinese War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. I found this young man’s compassion for his country and it’s people, as well as his ability to capture feeling in photographs, very moving. Just as powerful was the commitment and loyalty of his mother and younger sister, who each awaited his return, in vain, and safeguarded his photographs despite danger, for the rest of their lives. She Waits is a song about incredible strength in loyalty, longing, and love.

《She Waits》是一首关于忠诚，渴望和爱的不可思议的力量的歌曲。方大曾是失踪于抗日战争时期的一名战地摄影师和通讯员。我看见了这个年轻人对他的国家和人民饱含的怜悯心，以及他的摄影作品中捕捉到的动人的情感。在他失踪后，方大曾的母亲和妹妹一直坚持着等待他的归来，即使在有生命危险的时候，也仍然守护着他的摄影作品，终其一生。

lyrics

Down in the mountains they know me
山中的人们认识我
and they hold me in my dreams
我在梦里和他们热泪相拥

Down in the mountains they remember me
山中的人们记得
young and free full of dreams.
那个曾经年轻自由充满梦想的我
 
She waits for me every day and night
她等我，不管白天黑夜
In her dress of white, faded and torn.
穿着那件破旧褪色的白裙

Thinks that someday I’ll walk through that gate
她期盼着有一天我会跨进那道门
Oh but its growin’ late.
但她的日子已所剩不多

Thinks that someday I’ll come back home
她期盼着有一天我能回家
Oh so she carries on
就这样春去秋来，一载又一载

I died at sea
我消失于人海
so long ago
已经很久
so long ago
已经很久
Never come home
再不能踏上回家路

I died at sea
我消失于人海
so long ago
已经很久
so long ago
已经很久
Never come home
再不能踏上回家路

I drowned at sea
我消失于人海
so long ago
已经很久
so long ago
已经很久
Never come home
再不能踏上回家路

I drowned at sea
我消失于人海
so long ago
已经很久
Lord I wanted to come home
啊苍天，我多想回家

She waits
她在等
and she waits for me
她在等我
and she’s fading
绝望一点点将她蚕食
