Song Dongye: I only remember that ‘Zebra’

Lyrics to “Zebra Zebra”: Zebra Zebra, don’t fall asleep yet. Show me your injured tail again. I don’t want to touch the scars on your wounds; I just want to lift your hair. Zebra Zebra, you’ve returned to your home, but I’m wasting my cold years. None of the doors in your city will open for me. In the end, I’ll have to return to the road. Zebra Zebra, that red color from the south—is it also a beautiful story? If the actor next to you can’t stay, who will sleep with you until dawn? Zebra Zebra, do you still remember me? I’m just a fool who knows how to sing. Zebra Zebra, go ahead and sleep. I’ll leave the north with my guitar on my back. Zebra Zebra, will you remember me? I’m a child who forces myself to feel sorrow. Zebra Zebra, go ahead and sleep. I’ll take your grass back to my hometown. Zebra Zebra, will you remember me? I’m just a hurried traveler. Zebra Zebra, go ahead and sleep. I’ll sell my house and wander the world
“Zebra, Zebra” is a work by Song Dongye. The song tells of a wanderer who falls in love with a girl who has been hurt by others, but he doesn’t have the ability to comfort her or give her what she desires. It expresses the pain and helplessness of falling in love with someone who doesn’t love back, as well as the reality of this bustling city depicted in his vision – a city that is both prosperous and realistic, with a noble and beautiful girl, yet a person without a fixed home. The girl belongs to this city, but it offers nothing to keep me here, so I must leave. Just as I came, I leave with nothing but my guitar. “Zebra Zebra” exudes a sense of weariness and sadness in its lyrics and performance, with themes of wandering, homeland, and love reflected in them. “Zebra, Zebra” – melancholic, lonely, serene; yet it always preserves a hint of warmth for you at the end of the music.
