No matter how far you go, Beijing welcomes you back
One plus one plus one is three
In Three, In Three, In Three
Bringing the true Beijing style
Watching the old heads play Chinese chess
Keep on speak-singing the true Beijing way
Enough of these brothers with phony spirits
Stick to speak-singing the true Beijing way
In Three is dropping a beat
From track & field to swimming
From the Bird's Nest (National Stadium) to the Watercube (National
Aquatics Center)
China's people are realizing an Olympic Dream
Participating determinedly, achieving victory
Winning glory for our socialist country
Our national flag rises above Tian'anmen with the sun
Nothing's impossible in 2008, listen to In Three
Beijing is your home
Let's cheer together for the Chinese team
Friendship matters most
Have fun in Beijing
We'll welcome you back
Gotta love it. The song's by a group called "In Three" (Yin San'er), basically three Beijingers who are "not about Chinese hip hop, or American hip hop, or English hip hop, ...[but] Beijing hip hop."
Rap and hip hop are really just starting to find their legs here in China; I saw a show a couple weekends ago and everyone in the club loved it. Definitely something I'll explore more in a later post.
For now, you can check out the music video for In Three's song Hei (Black) here.
