Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Tale of the Koi”
chán shēng péi bàn zhe háng yún liú làng
蝉 声 陪 伴 着 行 云 流 浪
Cicada cries travel with the wandering clouds
huí yì kāi shǐ hòu ān jìng yáo wàng yuǎn fāng
回 忆 开 始 后 安 静 遥 望 远 方
I quietly looked into the distance when memories began
huāng cǎo fù méi de gǔ jǐng kū táng
荒 草 覆 没 的 古 井 枯 塘
The ancient well and dried pond hidden in overgrown weeds
yún sàn yī lǚ guò wǎng
匀 散 一 缕 过 往
Diffused a streak of the past
chén xī jīng rǎo le mò shàng xīn sāng
晨 曦 惊 扰 了 陌 上 新 桑
Dawn awakened young mulberry trees by the country path
fēng juàn qǐ tíng qián luò huā chuān guò huí láng
风 卷 起 庭 前 落 花 穿 过 回 廊
Winds stirred fallen flowers in the courtyard and passed through its cloisters
nóng mò zhuī zhú zhe qíng xù liú tǎng
浓 墨 追 逐 着 情 绪 流 淌
Ink chases the torrent of emotions
rǎn wǒ sù yī bái shang
染 我 素 衣 白 裳
And dyed my plain white robe
yáng guāng wēi liáng qín xián wēi liáng fēng shēng shū kuáng rén jiān cāng huáng
阳 光 微 凉 琴 弦 微 凉 风 声 疏 狂 人 间 仓 皇
Slightly cold was the sunlight, slightly cold were zither strings, wild was the wind, and hastily goes the mortal world
hū xī wēi liáng xīn shì wēi liáng liú nián cōng máng duì cuò hé fáng
呼 吸 微 凉 心 事 微 凉 流 年 匆 忙 对 错 何 妨
Slightly cold was my breath, slightly cold were my thoughts, so hurriedly the years flow by, why matter with rights and wrongs
nǐ zài chén shì zhōng niǎn zhuǎn le qiān bǎi nián
你 在 尘 世 中 辗 转 了 千 百 年
You’ve wandered through the mortal world for hundreds and thousands of ages
què zhī ràng wǒ kàn nǐ zuì hòu yī yǎn
却 只 让 我 看 你 最 后 一 眼
Yet you allow me but one final glimpse
huǒ guāng miáo mó róng yán rán jìn le shí jiān
火 光 描 摹 容 颜 燃 尽 了 时 间
The flames sketched your likeness, then burned through time itself
bié liú wǒ yī rén jié rán yī shēn
别 留 我 一 人 孑 然 一 身
Don’t leave me all alone, bare and desolate
diāo líng zài mèng jìng lǐ miàn
凋 零 在 梦 境 里 面
to wilt away in my dreams
yíng huǒ chóng yuàn jiāng xià yè yí wàng
萤 火 虫 愿 将 夏 夜 遗 忘
Fireflies would wish to forget summer nights
rú guǒ zhōng jiū yào huī bié zhè duàn shí guāng
如 果 终 究 要 挥 别 这 段 时 光
If in the end they had to say goodbye to these times
qún mèi bú jīng yì zhān le hé xiāng
裙 袂 不 经 意 沾 了 荷 香
My dress and sleeves heedlessly caught the fragrance of water lilies
cóng cǐ zhuì rù chén wǎng
从 此 坠 入 尘 网
And I since fell into mortal’s net
jī chǐ qīng cǎi zhe zhú yàn yáo huǎng
屐 齿 轻 踩 着 烛 焰 摇 晃
Wooden sandals gently stepped past wavering candlelights
suǒ yǒu xuān xiāo chén mò dōu miáo zài huà shàng
所 有 喧 嚣 沉 默 都 描 在 画 上
All clamors and silences sketched onto the paintings
cóng jīng zhé yī lù zǒu dào shuāng jiàng
从 惊 蛰 一 路 走 到 霜 降
Walking from the season of spring bugs till snowfall
lèi shuǐ níng chéng shī háng
泪 水 凝 成 诗 行
Tears condensed into poetic lines
dēng huā wēi liáng bǐ fēng wēi liáng nán huì xū wàng nán jiě chóu chàng
灯 花 微 凉 笔 锋 微 凉 难 绘 虚 妄 难 解 惆 怅
Slightly cold was the burnt candlewick, slightly cold was the drawing brush tip, difficult it is to sketch the surreal, difficult it is to resolve grief
mèng jìng wēi liáng qíng jiē wēi liáng mí lí huàn xiàng zhòng dié yōu shāng
梦 境 微 凉 情 节 微 凉 迷 离 幻 象 重 叠 忧 伤
Slightly cold was the realm of dreams, slightly cold was the story within, disorientating illusions and phantasms, sadness overlapping upon sadness
yuán lái jué bié shì yīn wéi shēn cáng juàn liàn
原 来 诀 别 是 因 为 深 藏 眷 恋
I only realized you bade farewell because of your deep hidden love
nǐ yòng lún huí huàn wǒ zhěn biān yuè yuán
你 用 轮 回 换 我 枕 边 月 圆
You incarnated to make me whole again
wǒ yuàn jì yì tíng zhǐ zài kū shòu zhǐ jiān
我 愿 记 忆 停 止 在 枯 瘦 指 尖
I wish memories would halt at the tip of these thin fingers
suí fán huā tuì sè chén āi sàn luò jiàn jiàn dì jiàn jiàn gē qiǎn
随 繁 花 褪 色 尘 埃 散 落 渐 渐 地 渐 渐 搁 浅
And fade with the flowers, scattered as dust, and slowly, slowly, be washed ashore
duō nián zhī hòu wǒ yòu mèng dào nà tiān
多 年 之 后 我 又 梦 到 那 天
Many years later, I dreamt of that day again
huà miàn yáo yuǎn huǎng hū xì yǔ mián mián
画 面 遥 远 恍 惚 细 雨 绵 绵
The scene was distant, like an endless drizzling rain
rú guǒ lái shēng tài yuǎn jì bú dào nuò yán
如 果 来 生 太 远 寄 不 到 诺 言
If our coming lives prove too distant for promises
bú rú xué zhe fàng xià xǔ duō zhí niàn
不 如 学 着 放 下 许 多 执 念
Why don’t we learn to let go of our many obsessions
yǐ zhè duàn jù cán piān xiàng suì yuè diào yàn
以 这 断 句 残 篇 向 岁 月 吊 唁
With these broken verses I mourn bygone years
lǎo qù de dāng nián shuǐ sè tiān biān yǒu shuí jiāng bēi huān shōu liàn
老 去 的 当 年 水 色 天 边 有 谁 将 悲 欢 收 殓
Those aged years, by horizons the hue of water, who will lay down our joys and sorrows for their eternal rest
chán shēng péi bàn zhe háng yún liú làng
蝉 声 陪 伴 着 行 云 流 浪
Cicada cries travel with the wandering clouds
huí yì de yuǎn fāng
回 忆 的 远 方
To distances of memories past
