此去一别 何时再会
我没哭只是风沙迷了眼

Line by Line Meaning
In the heat of night we were taken from our homes
We were forcefully removed from our homes in the middle of the night
Jerusalem was burning, all our memories had been stoned
Jerusalem was being destroyed along with all of our memories and belongings
Fingers scabbed from crawling, bloody to the quick
Our fingers were injured and bleeding from crawling on the ground
Lead across the desert till the weaker ones grew sick
We were led across the desert until some of us became sick and weak
Let our stories live as we journey on
We hope our experiences will be remembered as we continue on our journey
Let our stories live as we sing out our song
We want our stories to be heard as we express ourselves through music
Tell our wives we love them
Please convey our love to our wives
Tell our sons be strong
Encourage our sons to be brave and resilient
Tell our friends we'll miss them
Let our friends know that we'll think of them while we're away
Where we go we don't belong
We don't feel like we fit in wherever we are taken
Tell our fathers sorry
Apologize to our fathers for any mistakes we made
Tell them we were wrong
Admit to our fathers that we made mistakes
We'll make our mothers proud
We hope to make our mothers proud of us
As we sing our captive song
We express ourselves through music even though we are held captive
Dizzy from the sunlight that cascaded on our heads
Feeling disoriented from the intense sunlight shining on us
We were lead between the city walls our enemies had bred
Our captors led us between walls they had built in a city they controlled
Up and down the streets where the beggar children wept
We were taken through the streets where poor children were crying
They told us not to fear for our lives would be well kept
Our captors reassured us that we would be safe
We'll see the sun as we sing out our song
Even though we are held captive, we find joy and hope in the sunlight as we sing
We'll journey onward
We will continue on our journey, despite the challenges we face
