[Chinese tag] 遇萤 (Fireflies) - 霍尊 (Huo Zun)
I’m completely sold on the OST track list for 遇龙 (Miss my Dragon) The show has yet to win me over but it’s like the songs have been composed for my tastes Props to my talented girl 执素兮 Zhi Su Xi for composing this particular song years back!
I love the traditional Chinese instruments overlay, not to mention Henry Huo Zun’s otherworldly vocals – it really is a great remake which gives the song a more ethereal vibe without compromising the good elements of the original. The lyrics are also beautifully poetic with Buddhist references (highlighted in red in the first verse), which could not be more apt for a story about four reincarnations.
Lyrics translation (by me):
若千年的光阴轮回里
As if a thousand years of reincarnation
是否只为寻觅着你
Is only for the sake of searching for you
恍若所有月明
As if all the moon’s luminescence
圆缺或是阴晴 都只为了你
Wax and wane or rain and shine are only for you
尘缘似一场花雨
Worldly bonds are like soft rain
眉目缱绻中枯寂
Our eyes deeply locked then becoming dull
指间的瞬息
Ephemerally my fingertips
拾得你一颗泪滴
Collect a drop of your tears
若忘川的涟漪 随我心
As if the gentle ripples on the River of Forgetfulness (Lethe) follow my heart
是否只为不忘记你
And are only for not forgetting you
恍若所有思绪
As if all my thoughts and emotions
怜惜或是悲戚 都只为了你
Pity or sorrow are only for you
尘缘似一场烟影
Worldly bonds are like a cloud of smoke
眉目缱绻中飘零
Our eyes deeply locked then wandering
心之所寄
Just as I express my heart
劫数应声而起
Calamity befalls us
**前生今生来生
In my past, present and future lives
与你相遇 在每一个梦里
I’ll meet you in every dream
拂袖唤漫天流萤
Waving a sleeve to summon a sky full of fireflies
掌心微光谁眼中倒映
The faint glow in our palms reflecting in our eyes
回眸不舍离去
Looking back and leaving reluctantly
此情为你 在心上停栖
This love lingers on my heart for you
下一世 再与你永不分离
Next life, I’ll never be separated from you again
若忘川的涟漪 随我心
As if the gentle ripples on the River of Forgetfulness (Lethe) follow my heart
是否只为不忘记你
And are only for not forgetting you
恍若所有思绪
As if all my thoughts and emotions
怜惜或是悲戚 都只为了你
Pity or sorrow are only for you
尘缘似一场流萤
Worldly bonds are like a stream of fireflies
眉目缱绻中宁静
Our eye deeply locked then becoming peaceful
照谁前行
Illuminating our paths
灿若彻夜繁星
Sparkling like a star-studded sky through the night
** x2
这一世 愿与你共存天地
In this life, I wish to live in harmony with you
