Translation of the song 佳人 artist Lexie Liu
佳人
Beauty
旗袍落地 Cut it off
The floor length cheongsam, cut it off
中国姑娘 Boss it up
Chinese girl, boss it up
我不想再见到门前大红灯笼高高挂
I don’t want to see the red lanterns hung high up at the gateway
旗袍 Cut it it off
The cheongsam, cut it off
中国姑娘 Boss it up
Chinese girl, boss it up
我不想再见到大红灯笼高高挂
I don’t want to see the red lanterns hung high up
大红灯笼高高挂
Hang the red lanterns high up
穿着旗袍迈过道道坎
Wearing a cheongsam and walking past the road’s hurdles
大红灯笼高高挂
Hang the red lanterns high up
姑娘穿着旗袍迈过那一道道坎
The girl walks past the road’s hurdles in her cheongsam
我用漆烟墨水将你勾勒
Using ink, I pen your silhouette
凌驾规则为你泼上颜色
Rising above the rules, I splash colors onto you
你起舞吟诵琉璃易碎彩云飞
You dance and speak of fragile glazed glass and the colorful clouds above
跃然纸上 任百转千回
A vivid work of art, repeating*
I’ll let you decide
I’ll let you decide
枷锁全都破坏
The shackles are all broken
Baby I do it like this now
Baby I do it like this now
Set it all on fire
Set it all on fire
Workin’ day by day
Workin’ day by day
棱角作点缀 无需隐藏
Embellish my own, no need to hide in the shadows
Kappa girl, I got my own back
Kappa girl I got my own back
旗袍落地 Cut it off
The floor length cheongsam, cut it off
中国姑娘 Boss it up
Chinese girl, boss it up
我不想再见到门前大红灯笼高高挂
I don’t want to see the red lanterns hung high up at the gateway
旗袍 Cut it it off
The cheongsam, cut it off
中国姑娘 Boss it up
Chinese girl, boss it up
我不想再见到大红灯笼高高挂
I don’t want to see the red lanterns hung high up
大红灯笼高高挂
Hang the red lanterns high up
穿着旗袍迈过道道坎
Wearing a cheongsam and walking past the road’s hurdles
大红灯笼高高挂
Hang the red lanterns high up
姑娘穿着旗袍迈过那一道道坎
The girl walks past the road’s hurdles in her cheongsam
纨扇 玉盘 美人如花隔云端
Silk fans, jade plates, a beauty like flowers treading the sky**
I’ll meet you on the flip side, flip side
I’ll meet you on the flip side, flip side
Overloaded pocket, I spend it how I like it
Overloaded pocket, I spend it how I like it
I got my own back, yeah
I got my own back, yeah
I know you’re watching me
I know you’re watching me
Go up, ain’t no stoppin’
Go up, ain’t no stoppin’
Baby imma start
Baby imma start
Set it all on fire
Set it all on fire
拒绝平庸的叛逆 火焰聚汪洋颤栗
Reject weakly pushing back, burn brightly instead
Ain’t gon do what you wish now,
Ain’t gon do what you wish now,
风流半壁江山
More distinguished than half the country
南国有佳人，容华若桃李
The beauties of the south with faces as beautiful as peach blossoms
北方有佳人，绝世而独立
The beauties of the north, incomparable and independent.
