That Taiwan Wrap｜Official MV

All production has been done in accordance to Taiwan CECC Covid safety standards.
2021 has been a year of ups and downs for Taiwan. The year started out as if Covid-19 was non-existent, only to be hit by the pandemic in May. Pineapple export ban from China, major train crash, and not being able to use "Taiwan" in the Olympics, are but a few challenges Taiwan has hit. However, Taiwan will persevere and this is a rap for this wrap-up as we enter the year of the 老虎 (tiger).

LYRICS
We are coming at you live from the most dangerous place on Earth, Taiwan!
Wait-, who wrote this???
That is so not fair

Hello everybody 大家好 逐家好
I don’t know if you know, but I’m the star of the show
I’m the center of the play but the only lines I get
Are headlines about a China invasion threat

But 沒關係 (it's ok) don’t let it get to me
The only thing I let out is my 深呼吸 (deep breath)
My breathing reminds me that I’m still me, that I’m still free, to speak up and upkeep world peace

Though it seemed like we were slowly drifting farther apart
Nothing could ever put out the fire in all of our hearts
Nothing could ever take away what we contributed
If only we could have our name in the Olympics

They make their name by planes, tanks, and bombers
I make my name by maintaining honor
That’s how I choose to move onward
They can’t even lay a single finger on my semiconductors

[CHORUS]
Each year is a year of challenge
We stand up for ourselves
We’re striving for a balance
We’re here and we can help

Taiwan can help
Taiwan is helping
Taiwan can help
Taiwan is helping

沒錯 (That's right)
We got a lot to be thankful for
Top score in sports, a redesigned passport
Our farmers would like to thank the world for their support
The pineapples sales made a great report

The families are at the table where they 內用 (dine-in)
A playful time is what they came and they stayed for
Day by day _ we look out for our neighbors cause
We’re there for them, and they’re here for us,

I’m just glad that we kept it safe
We made it another day, That’s the way
Come on let’s celebrate
One smile is all it takes

And when it comes down to the bottom of it all
You gotta keep up with the rise and the fall
What’s left is the right and the wrong
And you can sing this song when you come to Taiwan

[CHORUS]

We won’t forget to mention those we lost
As we move on, we bring them in our hearts
We gotta stay protected, no matter the cost
We gotta stick together when that’s all we got

嘿 Taiwan’s got your back, that’s a fact.
對 I want that to last, so perhaps
If I asked the masses, what the right path is
They’d want my name in the pact

When you ever need help I will pick you right up,
and we’ll 一起 (together) have a 新年快樂 (happy new year)
That’s how we do, the tried-and-true
Out with the old and in with the new.
You better be ready to have a smile on your face
Cause I’ll be seeing you, in the year of the 老虎 (tiger).

Yo yo ok yo. Ima say it one more time ok .
這是我最後一次。(This is the last time)
Taiwan can help. and Taiwan is helping.
We always got your back
你永遠可以依賴我們 (You can always count on me)
我絕對不會放棄你 (I'll never let you down)
因為恁是我的朋友 (Because you're my friend)
And nothing's gonna change that
