Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Flying Phoenix”
jiù mèng yī xī wǎng shì mí lí chūn huā qiū yuè lǐ
旧 梦 依 稀 往 事 迷 离 春 花 秋 月 里
The old dream is misty, and the things I am thinking of are far away in the spring flowers and autumn moon
rú wù lǐ kàn huā shuǐ zhōng wàng yuè piāo lái yòu fú qù
如 雾 里 看 花 水 中 望 月 漂 来 又 浮 去
It’s like looking at flowers in the fog, watching the moon in the water, coming and going
jun1 lái yǒu shēng jun1 qù wú yǔ fān yún fù yǔ lǐ
君 来 有 声 君 去 无 语 翻 云 覆 雨 里
When she comes there is sound, when she is gone it is silent in the tumbling clouds and pouring rain
suī liǎng qíng xiàng xī liǎng xīn xiàng yí dé lái fù shī qù
虽 两 情 相 惜 两 心 相 仪 得 来 复 失 去
Although the two of us are in love and happy together, everything we receive, we lose
yǒu shī dài hé yǒu gē dài yīng yǒu xīn dài xiàng xì
有 诗 待 和 有 歌 待 应 有 心 待 相 系
There are poems and songs waiting to be completed, and hearts waiting to be reunited
wàng zhǎng xiàng sī wàng zhǎng xiàng shǒu què kōng liú qín yǔ dí
望 长 相 思 望 长 相 守 却 空 留 琴 与 笛
Hoping to be missed and hoping to be reunited, but the zither and flute lay untouched
yǐ qíng xiàng yuè yǐ xīn xiàng xǔ yǐ shēn xiàng wēi yī
以 情 相 悦 以 心 相 许 以 身 相 偎 依
We are in love, our hearts are one and our bodies are nestled against one another
yuàn wù xiàng wàng yuàn wù xiàng fù yòu nài hé hèn yǔ qī
愿 勿 相 忘 愿 勿 相 负 又 奈 何 恨 与 欺
I hope we won’t forget or betray each other, however there is hate and cheating
dé fēi suǒ yuàn yuàn fēi suǒ dé
得 非 所 愿 愿 非 所 得
We are unable to get what we want, but receive what we don’t
kàn mìng yùn cháo nòng zào huà yóu xì
看 命 运 嘲 弄 造 化 游 戏
It all depends on how fate plans it, treating our fortune as a game
zhēn qíng nuò nuò zhōng yú suí luàn hóng fēi huā qù
真 情 诺 诺 终 于 随 乱 红 飞 花 去
True love was promised, but eventually flies away with red flowers
qī pàn míng yuè qī pàn cháo yáng qī pàn chūn fēng yù
期 盼 明 月 期 盼 朝 阳 期 盼 春 风 浴
Hoping for a bright moon, a bright sun and to bask in the spring breeze
kě nì fēng bú jiě jiā yǔ bàn xuě cuī méi shé zhī qù
可 逆 风 不 解 挟 雨 伴 雪 催 梅 折 枝 去
But the tumultuous wind will not stop, accompanied by rain and snow which breaks the cherry blossom branches
fèng huáng yú fēi huì huì qí yǔ yuǎn qù wú hén jì
凤 凰 于 飞 翙 翙 其 羽 远 去 无 痕 迹
The Phoenix flies, there is the sound of its wings and then it is gone without a trace
tīng wú tóng xì yǔ sè sè qí yè suí fēng yáo jì yì
听 梧 桐 细 雨 瑟 瑟 其 叶 随 风 摇 记 忆
Listening to the rain on the trees howling between the leaves, the wind stirs up memories
wú tóng xì yǔ sè sè qí yè suí fēng yáo jì yì
梧 桐 细 雨 瑟 瑟 其 叶 随 风 摇 记 忆
The rain is howling between the leaves, the wind stirs up memories.
