与君归 (Return With You)

Return With You

与君归 (Return With You)

Crossing the years into a single, swaying leaf of a boat将岁月渡成一叶飘摇的舟
Wandering through the surging and winding sorrow of parting游弋过汹涌又蜿蜒的离愁
Fearing the past will be creased by the oncoming cold wind怕往事被迎面而来的寒风吹皱
Scattered into a vast and tranquil river搅散成一片江水悠悠

With fingertips, tracing over the fractured gaps用指尖摩挲过破裂的缺口
Daring not to see the pale face and white hair in the mirror不敢看镜中的苍颜与皓首
After many years, the longing remains as sharp as ever多年后思念却依然还锋利如旧
Wasting away the silhouettes along the path清减了一路人影消瘦

Grinding memories into traces of ink将回忆研成墨迹
To write a page, drenched and flowing写一纸淋漓
Both mirror and person are gone, where can one ask of a return?镜与人俱去 何处可问归期
The bronze mirror is shattered by this parting铜镜破碎了别离
This longing is ever so hard to send相思总难寄
Across thousands of miles千万里

To laugh at this life of fame, fortune, and glory笑此生名禄荣华
An illusion, a flower in the mirror幻作镜中花
It cannot compare to a cup of clear tea in your hand难抵你手中一盏清茶
If we could raise our cups若能举杯
Together, level with our brows共齐眉
And drink down the dust of all that has passed将前尘饮下
Leaning on each other, unwilling to part from dawn till dusk相依相伴不舍朝夕
Together from dawn till dusk相伴共朝夕

Solitary at the edge of the world's mountains and rivers伶仃在山河天涯
Frost whitening the hair upon my brow霜白额前发
Gazing out upon the world, what can be called a home?放眼望人间何以为家
May the clear frost reflect the bright Moon愿清霜映明月
To shine upon the figures in the mirror, making them a pair照镜中人影成双
And return with you与君归去
Separated by half a lifetime of wind and rain暌阔了半生风雨

In the tower, a few strokes of the brush, leaving the complete Rhapsody on Shanglin Park楼中数笔 留上林全赋
Closing the scroll, across two lifetimes, a vow to return with you掩卷两生 誓与君同归

Grinding memories into traces of ink将回忆研成墨迹
To write a page, drenched and flowing写一纸淋漓
Both mirror and person are gone, where can one ask of a return?镜与人俱去 何处可问归期
The bronze mirror is shattered by this parting铜镜破碎了别离
This longing is ever so hard to send相思总难寄
Across thousands of miles千万里

To laugh at this life of fame, fortune, and glory笑此生名禄荣华
An illusion, a flower in the mirror幻作镜中花
It cannot compare to a cup of clear tea in your hand难抵你手中一盏清茶
If we could raise our cups若能举杯
Together, level with our brows共齐眉
And drink down the dust of all that has passed将前尘饮下
Leaning on each other, unwilling to part from dawn till dusk相依相伴不舍朝夕
Together from dawn till dusk相伴共朝夕

Solitary at the edge of the world's mountains and rivers伶仃在山河天涯
Frost whitening the hair upon my brow霜白额前发
Gazing out upon the world, what can be called a home?放眼望人间何以为家
May the clear frost reflect the bright Moon愿清霜映明月
To shine upon the figures in the mirror, making them a pair照镜中人影成双
And return with you与君归去
Separated by half a lifetime of wind and rain暌阔了半生风雨

Crossing the years into a single leaf, an unmoored boat将岁月渡成一叶不系之舟
Wandering through the surging and winding river's flow游弋过汹涌又蜿蜒的江流
The past, rippling open layer by layer, shimmers in my heart往事被一层层漾开潋滟在心头
The faint moonlight flickers明灭的月色幽幽
The faint moonlight flickers明灭的月色幽幽

When the ten directions are no more, and the four seas cease to exist, only then would I dare to part from you十方不再 四海无存 乃敢与尔绝
