Sandy the River Demon Lyrics

Sandy:

自小乾坤曾游֕
ZI XIAO QIAN KUN CENG YOU DANG
Strong from youth, I made a tour around the whole wide world
玉帝加封卷帘将
YU DI JIA FENG JUAN LIAN JIANG
Then the Jade Emperor promoted me to Curtain-Raising General
失手打破玉玻璃
SHI SHOU DA PO YU BO LI
By accident I broke a goblet of jade
遭贬流沙东岸上
ZAO BIAN LIU SHA DONG AN SHANG
And was banished to the River of Flowing Sands
你敢行凶到我门?
NI GAN XING XIONG DAO WO MEN
Who dares to make a ruckus at my door?
拉入浪中剁肉酱!
LA RU LANG ZHONG DUO ROU JIANG
I will grab you in the water and chop you into little pieces!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Sandy is one of the three helpers chosen to go with Tripitaka on his journey to India for the scriptures. As stated in the song, he was once a general in heaven, but broke a vase (in some versions out of anger, but in the opera and album, accidentally) and was banished from heaven and transformed into a demon. He is initially mistaken for an enemy by Tripitaka and his pilgrims, but soon they understand that he is to join them.
