Spiritual energy sweeps across Flower-Fruit Mountain, and the Water Curtain Cave gives birth to the Handsome Monkey King.
I turn the world upside down, I'm the one in charge. The Jade Emperor and Dragon King will let me roam free in every direction.
If I want to play with the world, I'll make it tremble.
If I want to become emperor, I'll stride into the Dragon Palace.
If I want to learn from my mistakes, my heart is still destined to be proud.
Across all of Flower-Fruit Mountain, I alone rule the cave.
With a light somersault, I cross the lands, traveling from west to east.
With a few strands of hair, I can turn fortune and misfortune around.
Whatever troubles come, I fear neither fire nor wind.
But most of all, I fear my master's disappearance. On the journey to fetch the scriptures, how could I ever dare slack off?
For the sake of fetching the scriptures, you and I charge ahead together.
To fetch the scriptures, we must work together,
Until we attain Buddhahood and earn praise for ten thousand generations.
Sun Wukong! In truth, saving the world and playing with it are always changing.
In truth, wild nature and Buddha nature both reside within.
Could it be that after a hundred thousand lifetimes, all things in this world are still empty?
Perhaps there have long been similar dreams throughout time and space.
-----Journey to the West, sung by Zhang Weijian
When I first heard this song, I decided I absolutely had to write something. But my writing is so awful... All right, I still want to write, and I happen to have some time, so I'll give it a try and see how far I get.
