Lexie Liu - Mulan (English Translation)
[Chorus]
Like Mulan going to war, war, war, war
For my family I do more, more, more, more
I be the one who's gonna take it all
Painting the landscape of my homeland with my brush and ink
Like Mulan going to war, war, war, war
For my people I do more, more, more, more
I be the one who's gonna take it all
Holding my sword and spear in my hands

[Verse 1]
Just like Mulan I ain't never swallow my own pride
I ain't gonna play nice until I lose my battle fight
I make my Kung-Fu moves, get ya mortified
Riding on my war-horse with that whip, yeah, I am born to ride
Yeah I'm born to die, the mission that I can't fail
Born to fight, my footsteps across the world with confidence that I can tell
I never back down as a female
Everyday practice and chanting The Book of Songs for my future
My teenage years full of flames and gunfires
I can only look down to draw a line on the battlefield with my thoughts
My chivalry of marching ten thousand miles to war
Comes down to this moment when I start writing
Females can be heroic too in their own way
Always staying true and focused, so the odds might be on my side
[Chorus]
Like Mulan going to war, war, war, war
For my family I do more, more, more, more
I be the one who's gonna take it all
Painting the landscape of my homeland with my brush and ink
Like Mulan going to war, war, war, war
For my people I do more, more, more, more
I be the one who's gonna take it all
Holding my sword and spear in my hands

[Verse 2]
I had a dream
I was standing in a desolated city in the fading twilight with nobody around
Homesickness hit me at the moment
My vision blurred when I hear the dreary melody
Coming from the Shepherd's flute and Huqin Fiddle far away
No guns and bullets still gonna shoot
Eighteen Arms of Wushu, to the fullest I'mma prove
Luke Mulan was only weaving at the backyard when her father was almost conscripted
She suddenly made a move
Tears are falling on her golden armor, but she knows that she can't lose

[Chorus]
Like Mulan going to war, war, war, war
For my family I do more, more, more, more
I be the one who's gonna take it all
Painting the landscape of my homeland with my brush and ink
Like Mulan going to war, war, war, war
For my people I do more, more, more, more
I be the one who's gonna take it all
Holding my sword and spear in my hands
[Verse 3]
We can do anything if we're down to work for it
If my enemies tried to cross the line, I have to fight back
At the war all by myself, showing my teeth just to threat
And inhale the aroma of the roses around just for peace of mind
The smell of blood and flesh invaded my brain and all I see is black and white

[Outro]
Stepping over dead bodies how she made it
Say less just did it proving we the greatest
Loyalty inside of me I ain't gonna trade it
When the gold shining hairpin finally touches her black hair at her home after war
The amber sunset faded, it's time for me to leave, too
