Great Song Share - Qian Xi Xi

Laughing at who flaunts their beauty and pride If I have no heart, how can we be a match? Clear and crisp the sound of bells, dim the lights behind the curtain You and I were born to be a perfect pair Only when I lose you does it become the original sin Only when I have no heart can we truly match You in rags, I'll paint you bright, walking side-by-side through mountains and streams You're haggard, I'll make you radiant It was your kiss that opened the ink, staining tears at the corners of my eyes Performing separations and reunions, joy and sorrow, for whom? They circle and misunderstand, yet I am only controlled by you In this world, what could be more perfect? Fingers like orchid petals twirl the mortal world like flowing water On a three-foot red stage, all things turn to song and wind Singing for so long, sorrow doesn't fully form; where it's most vibrant, it turns to ash Whose best years do you wish to be remembered? When you lead, I dance as if flying When you guide, I know when to advance and retreat Following both joy and suffering, every move perfectly aligned Transforming humility into absolute tenderness You're wrong, I refuse to be right; you're ignorant, I'll feign ignorance How can the heart's fire be content to stop boiling water? You wither, I never wilt; you tire, I dare not grow weary With what can I warm you for a thousand years? Wind and snow faintly trace the white hairs at the end of autumn Lush lamplight wrinkles your brow If you shed a tear, if I can stay with you when we grow old Even turning to ash in the misty waves, it would be a perfect departure
