Spirit of the Silk Road

Spirit of the Silk Road

Let me whisk you along on my silken threads,

Faster than a flying dragon,

Lighter than a bird.

Hear farewell to China, our radiant Queen,

Watch demanding deserts,

Feel mischievous mountains.

Let me whisk you along on my silken threads,

Faster than a flying dragon,

Lighter than a bird.

Hear precious gems scream sharply for attention,

Watch beautiful silk sleep peacefully,

Feel danger radiating from the sands.

Let me whisk you along on my silken threads,

Faster than a flying dragon,

Lighter than a bird.

Hear Buddhism, Islam and Zoroastrianism,

Watch exciting ideas demand attention,

Feel powerful barter and haggle.

Let me whisk you along on my silken threads,

Faster than a flying dragon,

Lighter than a bird.
