Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Impressions of The West Lake西湖印象雨”
yǔ hái zài xià luò mǎn yī hú yān
雨 还 在 下 落 满 一 湖 烟
It’s still raining, leaving a foggy lake
duàn qiáo juàn sǎn hēi bái le sī niàn
断 桥 绢 伞 黑 白 了 思 念
The Broken Bridge and silk umbrella have lost their colors like emotions in the rain
shuí zài chuán shàng xiě wǒ de cóng qián
谁 在 船 上 写 我 的 从 前
Who is sitting on the boat, writing about my past stories
yī bǐ shì yán mǎn zhǐ lí sàn
一 笔 誓 言 满 纸 离 散
That story used to be about a promise, but ended up all about partings
yǔ zhàn zài hú biān
雨 站 在 湖 边
Raining, stand besides the lake
yǔ yáo wàng běi àn
雨 遥 望 北 岸
Raining, gazing at the north bank of the lake
yǔ hái zài xià luò mǎn yī hú yān
雨 还 在 下 落 满 一 湖 烟
It’s still raining, leaving a foggy lake
duàn qiáo juàn sǎn hēi bái le sī niàn
断 桥 绢 伞 黑 白 了 思 念
The Broken Bridge and silk umbrella have lost their colors like emotions in the rain
shuí zài chuán shàng xiě wǒ de cóng qián
谁 在 船 上 写 我 的 从 前
Who is sitting on the boat, writing about my past stories
yī bǐ hú dié mǎn zhǐ lí sàn
一 笔 蝴 蝶 满 纸 离 散
That story used to have a butterfly symbolizing love, but ended up all about partings
wǒ de gào bié cóng méi yǒu jiān duàn
我 的 告 别 从 没 有 间 断
I never stop saying farewell to the lake
xī zǐ hú shàng yī biàn yī biàn
西 子 湖 上 一 遍 一 遍
Over and over again, on the West Lake
bái sè chì bǎng fèn fēi le liú nián
白 色 翅 膀 分 飞 了 流 年
West Lake looks like a pair of white wings, divide me from past with future
zhǎng tàn yī shēng tiān shàng rén jiān
长 叹 一 声 天 上 人 间
I am sighing, West Lake is really beautiful that only heaven deserves it
yǔ hái zài xià lín shī qiān nián
雨 还 在 下 淋 湿 千 年
The rain is still on, it has been raining for thousands of years
hú shuǐ lián tiān hēi bái xiàng jiàn
湖 水 连 天 黑 白 相 见
The lake is connecting with the sky, half white, half black
shuí zài chuán shàng xiě wǒ cóng qián
谁 在 船 上 写 我 从 前
Who is sitting on the boat, writing about my past stories
yī shuō rén jiān zài shuō jiāng shān
一 说 人 间 再 说 江 山
Story about the people, then story about the nation
