First released at Mars Concert 2018 on September 8, 2018, and is included in Hua Chenyu’s 4th album “NEW WORLD”.

1. About the song

“God Tree” and “Arrival” respectively symbolize destruction and rebirth. They are mirrors and oppose each other. The two songs aim to explore the possibility of harmonious coexistence between man and nature and regain the original respect and awe of life. “Arrival” combines the five-tone melody mode with the lyrics of Western imagery to show the new national style of music. The repeated singing of “La vi ah vi ah vi” creates a peaceful atmosphere of renewal of all things and new shoots descending. It is a pious way of rebirth and blessings and conveys a heart of forgiveness towards everything.

降临	Arrival
La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi~	La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi
夜降临播种宽宥 宽宥啊	Night arrives to sow seeds of unshackling unshackling the confinement of thoughts
La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi~	La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi
入梦境之后请小心秉烛夜游	By candlelight, Please wander carefully through dreamland
La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi~	La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi
格林喂养着野兽 野兽啊	Grimms’ fairy tales are feeding the beasts, the beasts
La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi~	La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi
光临人间尚不知忧	When light descends upon man’s world, Worries are yet unknown
前瞻又顾后	Looking forward and then back
万象迎一杯枯荣	All phenomena usher in oneness that make a toast to flourish and decay
双手捧新芽降落	Descending while cradling the new bud with both hands
疯与静默融进大雨萧索	Craziness and silence melt into the desolation of heavy rain
学不会懵懂	Unenlightenment can’t be learned
张望着相对不离不休	In endless tangles, they confront and behold one another
La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi~	La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi
夜降临播种宽宥 宽宥啊	Night arrives to sow seeds of unshackling unshackling the confinement of thoughts
La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi~	La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi
河童遗忘的苹果偷渡到天国	The River Child’s forgotten apple has sneaked its way into paradise
La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi~	La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi
隐秘它绽放太多 太多啊	The mystery has been revealed too much, too much
La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi~	La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi
伊甸园放走阿修罗	Asura is released from the Garden of Eden
水仙忍涕落	Narcissus holds back his tears
万象迎一杯枯荣	All phenomena usher in oneness that make a toast to flourish and decay
双手捧新芽降落	Descending while cradling the new bud with both hands
疯与静默融进大雨萧索	Craziness and silence melt into the desolation of heavy rain
学不会懵懂	Unenlightenment can’t be learned
张望着相对不离不休	In endless tangles, they confront and behold one another
La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi~	La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi
夜降临播种宽宥 宽宥啊	Night arrives to sow seeds of unshackling unshackling the confinement of thoughts
La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi~	La Vi Ah Vi Ah Vi
寂静消散曙光暗涌	Silence dissipates with the underswell of breaking dawn
都奔向白昼	All run towards daylight
