I Have Nothing

by Cui Jian

how many times have i asked you
"when are you running away with me?"
but you always mocked at me
and said that there's
nothing to my name

i want to own you, and let you
own my freedom
but you always mocked at me
and said that there's
nothing to my name

oh, when are you running away with me
oh, when are you running away with me

the ground is moving below my feet
the rivers are flowing beside me
but you always mocked at me
and said that there's
nothing to my name

why cant you stop criticizing me
why cant i stop loving you
please dont tell me that i'm destined to
have nothing at all

oh, when are you running away with me
oh, when are you running away with me

im telling you i've wasted long enough
i'm telling you my last wish
i'm just gonna grab your hand right now
and you'll have to follow me
wherever i go

at this moment, your hands are shaking
and your tears are rolling
are you now telling me that
you really love me,
who has nothing at all?
