The Stones of Taipei's City Wall-A Manifesto
You felt the knocking of history and woke up
Bowing down to lay the foundation for the Old City
Standing erect to raise Taipei into the world
Undauntedly you braved adverse weather and sustained the long years
In full honesty you witnessed love and hate, life and death
In all details you noted the rise and fall of dynasties
You heard the call of the future and were reborn
Hard and firm so that the New Metropolis can reach farther and higher
Gentle and mellow so that Taipei can extend its warm-hearted embrace
With ease you rise up to the skies and take in the cosmos at one glance
Adroitly you reshuffle nostalgia and dreams
Nimbly you sail through past memories and the days to come
