Asia orphan
Asia orphan is crying in the wind
Asia orphan is crying in the wind
nobady plays fair game with you
everyone is jealous of your beloved joy
why do you cry, dear son
countless people try to find the answer
countless people just sigh in the deep night
countless people just tears in silence
dear mama, what on earth is the reason
Asia orphan is crying in the wind
with yellow face and red sludge
black pupils white with fear
west wind singing a sad song in the east
