原上草乐队 (Yuan Shang Shao Yue Dui, The Original Prairie Grass Band), is an undergroung street band from Shenzhen City, Guandong Province, China. They play covers on different Chinese, Hong Kong and Taiwanese bands, including Tang Dynasty and Ershou Meigui, and also Cantopop and Western singers like Andy Lau and Eric Clapton. Though this band sings a lot of political songs, they aren't pursued by police or officials, because Shenzhen has much less restrictions than any other city in PRC, and central government now became much more tolerant to rock music, but still doesn't allow it on professional stage; another reason is that rock music is generally not popular in China even without ideological restrictions. If you ever come to wonderful Shenzhen and be around Book City in the evening after 5 p.m., you have many chances to witness this band playing.

Remembering the kiss on your lips but unable to stop
your tears in this moment
my heart breaks with yours the
red maple leaves in the soup the knuckles at the door
that were swallowed suddenly
shouting through this world
Because we have to
part ways I walked this
online line I'll walk
with you all night
silence on the bottom line and you flow
into tears if I happen to blink my eyes
The darkness in my heart cannot be illuminated
The cries have long ceased
Me and you me and you
We are to part
Parting
Remembering the kiss on
your lips but unable to stop
your tears in this moment my heart breaks with yours
the red maple leaves in the
soup the cracked knuckles
at the door suddenly shouting through this world
Because we have to
part ways I walked
this online line I'
ll walk with you all
night silence on the bottom line and
you flow into tears if I happen to bl
The darkness in
my heart
cannot be illuminated
the cry has long ceased
me and you parting
Thank you a very sad song
