萬骨催沙 (Bones in Sands)

Bones in Sands

萬骨催沙 (Bones in Sands)

I have searched ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers, across seas of flowers and a thousand hills I have trod
寻遍万里山河 花海千山我踏过
xún biàn wàn lǐ shān hé huā hǎi qiān shān wǒ tà guò
Turning back, my youthful bloom has faded, who can bear the Qiang flute's desolate song?
回身芳华已落 谁忍听羌笛声萧索
huí shēn fāng huá yǐ luò shéi rěn tīng qiāng dí shēng xiāo suǒ
The wine in my cup I pour to the heavens, yet cannot quench the endless beacon fires
杯中酒向天泼 浇不灭连天的烽火
bēi zhōng jiǔ xiàng tiān pō jiāo bù miè lián tiān de fēng huǒ
Laugh at my triumphs in a hundred battles, yet they cannot withstand this handful of yellow earth
笑我百战功成 难抵这黄土一抔
xiào wǒ bǎi zhàn gōng chéng nán dǐ zhè huáng tǔ yī pǔ

The clouds and the Moon accompany me, as I spur my horse once more towards the great desert
云和月伴我 策马又赴大漠
yún hé yuè bàn wǒ cè mǎ yòu fù dà mò
My pear-blossom spear pierces through, what need has fate for 'what ifs'?
梨花枪挑破 命里要什么如果
lí huā qiāng tiāo pò mìng lǐ yào shén me rú guǒ
Love and hate are inescapable, beneath the flying sands, ten thousand bones are sketched
爱恨逃不过 飞沙之下万骨描摹
ài hèn táo bù guò fēi shā zhī xià wàn gǔ miáo mó

Heaven wills me
天要我
tiān yào wǒ
This life, having entered the Asura's path, success or failure, all ends in a single death
今生既入修罗 成败终要一殁
jīn shēng jì rù xiū luó chéng bài zhōng yào yī mǒ
Raising my brow, I sweep away the doubts in my heart
扬眉扫尽心中惑
yáng méi sǎo jǐn xīn zhōng huò
It was not in vain
不枉我
bù wǎng wǒ
That in youth I favored turmoil, the loneliness of a hundred battles on earth
年少偏爱颠簸 百战人间寂寞
nián shào piān ài diān bǒ bǎi zhàn rén jiān jì mò
A lifetime peerless, who could ever seize it?
一世无双谁能夺
yī shì wú shuāng shéi néng duó
The ancient mountains and rivers are as they were yesterday, who has come to visit in my dreams?
万古山川如昨 梦中有谁来过
wàn gǔ shān chuān rú zuó mèng zhōng yǒu shéi lái guò
This suit of mottled iron armor, how often has it been veiled by legends?
这一身铁衣斑驳 几曾被传说隐没
zhè yī shēn tiě yī bān bó jǐ céng bèi chuán shuō yǐn mò

I have searched ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers, yet only hear the parting songs of a chaotic world
寻遍万里山河 却只闻乱世飘骊歌
xún biàn wàn lǐ shān hé què zhǐ wén luàn shì piāo lí gē
The bleak clash of arms may recede, but this boldness in my soul will not fade
退却萧瑟干戈 褪不去这一身胆色
tuì què xiāo sè gān gē tuì bù qù zhè yī shēn dǎn sè
The wine in my cup is still warm, but I cannot await the traveler of a bygone year
杯中酒还烫着 等不到旧岁的过客
bēi zhōng jiǔ hái tàng zhe děng bù dào jiù suì de guò kè
They are buried in a foreign land, their stories thereafter, who remembers?
他们埋骨他乡 后来故事谁记得
tā men mái gǔ tā xiāng hòu lái gù shì shéi jì dé

The clouds and the Moon accompany me, as I spur my horse once more towards the great desert
云和月伴我 策马又赴大漠

The war fires of ten cities, myriad bones turned to sand
十城战火 万骨催沙
shí chéng zhàn huǒ wàn gǔ cuī shā
In the homeland of rivers, no one is left for the burial
江河故土无人葬
jiāng hé gù tǔ wú rén zàng
Upon the mountain pass, the snow flies, in the slaughtered city, no smoke rises
关山飞雪 戮城无烟
guān shān fēi xuě lù chéng wú yān
The mountain road winds and turns, but the person does not return
山回路转人不归
shān huí lù zhuǎn rén bù guī
