Background Story of “Upwards To The Moon”
This song was the ending song of the TV series “Ashes of Love香蜜沉沉烬如霜“, it was released on March 19, 2018, and has become one of the most popular tracks by Sa Dingding萨顶顶. Since its release, it has been widely covered by other artists and has gone viral on TikTok and other social media platforms.
Immersing in the Drama
To deeply understand the emotions of Ashes of Love, Sa Dingding lived with the cast and even made a cameo as the “Immortal Yuanji”. The song’s melody came to her spontaneously during her trip back from Hengdian film set to Beijing.
Musical Breakthrough
Eager to capture the drama’s cross-dimensional grandeur, Sa employed coloratura soprano techniques, spanning three octaves from lowest to highest notes. Producer Chang Shilei rigorously refined the composition, ultimately creating the breathtaking “Upwards To The Moon” – where soaring melodies meet poetic lyrics in an epic crescendo.

Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Upwards To The Moon”
zuǒ shǒu wò dà dì yòu shǒu wò zhe tiān
左手握大地右手握着天
Left hand holds the earth, right hand clasps the sky
zhǎng wén liè chū le shí fāng de shǎn diàn
掌纹裂出了十方的闪电
Palm lines crack with lightning in all directions
bǎ shí guāng cōng cōng duì huàn chéng le nián
把时光匆匆兑换成了年
Rushing time exchanged for years
sān qiān shì rú suǒ bú jiàn
三千世 如所不见
Three thousand lifetimes – all unseen
zuǒ shǒu niān zhe huā yòu shǒu wǔ zhe jiàn
左手拈着花右手舞着剑
Left hand pinches a flower, right hand wields a sword
méi jiān luò xià le yī wàn nián de xuě
眉间落下了一万年的雪
Between brows falls ten thousand years’ snow
yī dī lèi ā ā ā

A single tear – ah ah ah
nà shì wǒ ā ā ā

That is me – ah ah ah
zuǒ shǒu yī tán zhǐ yòu shǒu tán zhe xián
左手一弹指右手弹着弦
Left hand flicks fingers, right hand plucks strings
zhōu jí bǎi dù zài wàng chuān de shuǐ jiān
舟楫摆渡在忘川的水间
Oars ferry across the River of Forgetfulness
dāng fán nǎo néng kāi chū yī duǒ hóng lián
当烦恼能开出一朵红莲
When sorrow blooms a red lotus
mò tíng xiē gěi wǒ zá niàn
莫停歇 给我杂念
Never pause – give me distractions
zuǒ shǒu zhǐ zhe yuè yòu shǒu qǔ hóng xiàn

You and I – ah ah ah
zuǒ shǒu huà chéng yǔ yòu shǒu chéng lín piàn
左手化成羽右手成鳞片
Left hand turns to feathers, right to scales
mǒu shì zài yún shàng mǒu shì zài lín jiān
某世在云上某世在林间
One life atop clouds, another in woods
yuàn suí nǐ yòng yī lì wēi chén de mú yàng
愿随你用一粒微尘的模样
Willing to follow you as a speck of dust
