The charming shade of blue of Persia,
Bluer than sky and sea water.
The appealing color on the priceless china,
Always breathtaking for every admirer.
The fragrant agarwood of the Southeast Sea,
Enlighten the lost souls under the Bodhi Tree.
Precious sweet smoke of noble incense,
Guide the restless to the ultimate peace.
The black pepper of Southwestern India,
Tiny berries hotter than the burning chili powder,
Highly regarded condiment, more valuable than blazing gold.
Wow, the Black Gold can heal your stomach in just one go!
The magnificent long-necked creature in Africa,
Taller than four big soldiers standing on shoulders, one on the other.
Camouflage of scattered brown patches keep them safe from predators.
We found the legendary Qilin , our magical figure!
Noble horse in a black and white striped coat,
Dashing in African savannahs.
One for all and all for one when they were galloping together.
We found another Qilin ! Our great future was prefigured.
Joy floods my whole body, from soul to toes.
I am pleased, and kneel humbly in front of the Heavenly Princess.
My sincere prayer is answered.
The shining stars sweep off the darkness.
Galaxy unveils her brightly eyes and witnesses
The victory of courage, wisdom and kindness.
Strength floods my whole body, from heart to fists.
I am honored, and stand proudly with the powerful Ming Treasure Fleet.
Tianfei sends Monsoon Winds as our company.
Swimming Dragon is riding on the tides of history.
The spirit of Zheng He will last for eternity.
I stand by my greatest master to complete his last royal journey.
