the most beautiful starlight
(anti-epidemic song)
词作者｜宋肇新

你说，选择了这身洁白的衣裳，
you say that your choosing this white clothing
就是选择了勇敢，选择了方向。
is choosing bravery and direction
你说，人们充满信任的目光
you say that people’s trusting eyes
一直陪伴在你身旁，
are always by your side
是逆行的力量。
which is the power of retrograde
哪有英雄会从天而降，
how can heroes fall from heaven
不过是一群平凡的人，
they are just a group of ordinary people
筑起了一道墙。
who have built up a wall
告诉我，黑暗过去就会有太阳，
telling me that there’ll be sunlight when the darkness is over
那时阳光穿过阴霾，
the sunshine will pass through the haze
温暖心爱的家乡。
and warm our beloved hometown
你是最美的星光，
you are the most beautiful starlight
暗夜里把前行路照亮。
illuminating the way forward in the dark night
没有彷徨没有沮丧，
you don't hesitate or get depressed
只有出征的行囊。
only with the luggage to go out to battle
