Lyric added by: jrokkunohimeOver here Mengmei falls in love with the fairies in the painting
Over there Liniang sacrifices everything for love
For love, not eating, not drinking, not sleeping
But a thousand years later love’s not in anymore, that love lasting through life and death
Love is? What is love?
Feeling a connection when you get close, going after her when you like her
Getting out after you’re sick of it
But my dear, I’m crazy for you, I’ll change for you
Just let me love you deeply, distantly, like the ancient classics.
Gazing at the spring waters, the summer flowers hang on to their old costume
Who hears the autumn cicadas, who knows of winter’s coming?
On the cold swings, the sound of laughter seems to remain
I can’t force myself away, trying to sort it out I just make more of a mess.
Past destiny, waiting, continuation, then love
Mengmei, Liniang, their souls returning to life
Through age, ruin, my hair turns white
Yet this tells me with my white hairs and determined heart to wait, to love
Beside the sea, the blossoms fall thick like snow, who will pity me?
Beside the willows, the wind blows in suspense, my life and death at the whim of others
The taste of a thousand years of waiting, sad and bitter, the two of us in resentment
On the peony pavilion I love, day after year without rest.
Without rest, without hate, without blame, without resenting anyone
Only waiting, the peonies bloom into a sky of brilliance
Let the legend forever be known by others
Let these mortal beings be touched, let them be able to deeply understand
What is love? Love isn’t necessarily...
Feeling a connection when you get close, going after her when you like her
Getting out after you’re sick of it
Just let this meaningful legend perform again for you
Just let me love you deeply, distantly, like the ancient classics.
Gazing at the spring waters, the summer flowers hang on to their old costume
Who hears the autumn cicadas, who knows of winter’s coming?
On the cold swings, the sound of laughter seems to remain
I can’t force myself away, trying to sort it out I just make more of a mess
Beside the sea, the blossoms fall thick like snow, who will pity me?
Beside the willows, the wind blows in suspense, my life and death at the whim of others
The taste of a thousand years of waiting, sad and bitter, the two of us in resentment
On the peony pavilion I love, day after year without rest
Sitting beside the plum blossoms, not knowing when love will appear
Living this practical life yet only able to live in my dreams
The Peony Pavilion depicts a romance that’s too unbelievable
Especially to us, Generation X
Especially to us, our lives are too chaotic
No time to eat, surfing the net until our eyes get sore
Our technology’s developed and efficient, and the pace of life
Is a thousand times faster than in the Ming dynasty
What will it take for us to be satisfied?
Little kids don’t have time to sit somewhere and watch The Peony Pavilion
Or to spend 19 hours singing until even the audience is tired
Riding the train, the subway, the plane, the highway, and there’s traffic again
Smart people know that time is money and we should grab onto it
Before you lose control, breathe a sigh of relief
Tang Xianzu, let me learn from you
So dreamlike, there’s no one more romantic than you
Your tale’s been circulating for 400 years, I can only say “good job”
In my world, everything gets more and more convenient
But strangely I still can’t seem to find some kind of love
I don’t want to race with you guys, because I know
Life is a gift, and I don’t want my lifetime
To be one without love where I’m continually rushing, I really want to just drop into that story
And slow down the pace, a mysterious atmosphere in Liu Mengmei’s beautiful dreams
Teacher Tang, take us back to that peony pavilion filled with love.
Jrokkunohime
