Translation of the song 云裳羽衣曲 artist Charlie Zhou
云裳羽衣曲
A Song of Cloud and Feather Clothing
晨雾飘渺听山泉
In a hazy morning mist, I listen to the mountain spring
谁在林间 如泼墨画面
who's in the woods, appearing as if a splash-ink painting?
深秋霜降那天
That day, deep into the autumn, on Frost's Descent
芒草染白山边
miscanthus makes the side of the mountain white
又是谁古道走远
this time, who walks away on the ancient path
是你穿越了九重天
you came through nine layers of the sky
一再许愿 听不进劝
making wishes time and again, not listening to words of advice
传说几世不变
legend has it, for multiple lifetimes
我依旧是那个少年
I'm still that young lad
故事鲜艳 而缘分却太浅
The story is colorful, but our cosmic connection is too weak
我的爱恋 竟如此的明显
I didn't know my love was this obvious
我不停的默念
I keep picturing you in my head
想牢记你的容颜
trying to remember your face
故事鲜艳 而结局却搁浅
The story is colorful, but the ending runs aground
这些年 你又在 那座红尘之间
In these years, you, in the building of the carnal world
幻化成哪张脸
magically becoming which face?
晨雾飘渺听山泉
In a hazy morning mist, I listen to the mountain spring
谁在林间 如泼墨画面
who's in the woods, appearing as if a splash-ink painting?
深秋霜降那天
That day, deep into the autumn, on Frost's Descent
芒草染白山边
miscanthus makes the side of the mountain white
又是谁古道走远
this time, who walks away on the ancient path
是你穿越了九重天
you came through nine layers of the sky
一再许愿 听不进劝
making wishes time and again, not listening to words of advice
传说几世不变
legends has it, for multiple lifetimes
我依旧是那个少年
I'm still that young lad
故事鲜艳 而缘分却太浅

我的爱恋 竟如此的明显

故事鲜艳 而结局却搁浅
The story is colorful, but the ending runs aground
这些年 你又在 那座红尘之间
In these years, you, in the building of the carnal world
幻化成哪张脸
magically becoming which face?
你轻落指尖 月下拨弄琴弦
Your fingertips fall gently, playing your stringed instrument under the moonlight
一曲云裳羽衣恋
A song of Cloud and Feather Clothing Love
人世间 漫天飞舞着思念
In the carnal world, my thoughts of missing you scatter throughout the sky
故事鲜艳 而缘分却太浅
The story is colorful, but our cosmic connection is too weak
我的爱恋 竟如此的明显
I didn't know my love was this obvious
我不停的默念
I keep picturing you in my head
想牢记你的容颜
trying to remember your face
故事鲜艳 而你我却渐远
The story is colorful, but you and I part
这天涯 我走遍 紧握住手中线
I walk throughout this world, holding tightly onto the string in my hand
只求来世相见
All I ask/hope/wish for is meeting in our next lifetime
