When Stars Fall into the River

Lyrics-Composition-Production, August 2024

“When Stars Fall into the River” is something I wrote when I just landed in NYC, overwhelmed by this Metropolitan city. Reflecting on my homesickness, I wrote this llulaby for adults to give myself and my audience a calming space. To admit I was lost, but there is always hope.




天上 的星星 熄 灭了

Stars of the sky have faded

孩子你别怕 就 睡吧

Fret not, child, just go to sleep

妈妈的怀抱 是一个

An embrace from mother

孩子构筑的 梦啊

Is a dream built by a child



天上的星星 熄 灭咯

Stars of the sky have dimmed

孩子你别怕

Fret not, child

因为妈妈就在这里

For mother is here

即使妈妈不在这里啊

Even though mother isn’t here



听 万丈的月光

Listen, boundless light from the moon

听 那是城市中的宁静

Listen, breathless quiet of city

听 淡淡的日光

Listen, morrow’s hazy sunlight

那是生活里的希望

There’s hope in life



天上的星星熄灭了

Stars of the sky have ebbed

孩子你别怕

Fret not, child

困倦的孩子 闭上眼

Close your eyes, wearied child

她就渐渐变成了燕

Steadily, a swallow she become
