Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “City Dusted”
yǒu xiē ài xiàng duàn xiàn zhǐ yuān
有 些 爱 像 断 线 纸 鸢
Some (Stories of) Love resemble broken-away Kites
jié jú bēi yú shǒu zhōng xiàn
结 局 悲 余 手 中 线
Ended with (only) Sorrow and the String in Hands
yǒu xiē hèn xiàng shì yī gè quān
有 些 恨 像 是 一 个 圈
Some (Stories of) Hate resemble Circles
yuān yuān xiàng bào bú le jié
冤 冤 相 报 不 了 结
Unended with reciprocal Reprisals
zhī wéi le wán chéng yī gè sù yuàn
只 为 了 完 成 一 个 夙 愿
Only to fulfill a lingering Wish
hái jiāng fù chū jǐ duō xiān xuè
还 将 付 出 几 多 鲜 血
How much more Blood will be spent
zhōng yì zhī yán
忠 义 之 言
The Words of Loyalty and Justice
zì qī qī rén de huǎng yán
自 欺 欺 人 的 谎 言
the self-deceiving Lies
yǒu xiē qíng rù kǔ nán huí mián
有 些 情 入 苦 难 回 绵
Some Affection irreversibly turned bitter
chuāng jiān yuè xī xī chéng jué
窗 间 月 夕 夕 成 玦
Became as incomplete as the Moon in the Window
yǒu xiē chóu xīn cáng què wú yán
有 些 仇 心 藏 却 无 言
Some hatred was hidden in Hearts and was unspoken
fù huà fēng xuě wéi dāo jiàn
腹 化 风 雪 为 刀 剑
Became cold Intentions to fight with Knives and Swords
zhī wéi le wán chéng yī gè sù yuàn
只 为 了 完 成 一 个 夙 愿
Only to fulfill a lingering Wish
huāng luàn zhōng xié zhèng rú hé biàn
荒 乱 中 邪 正 如 何 辨
The Good becomes indistinguishable from the Evil in this Turmoil
fēi shā láng yān
飞 沙 狼 烟
With Sand in the Air and the Beacon (of War) lit
jiāng luàn wǒ tú yǒu bēi tiān
将 乱 我 徒 有 悲 添
Chaos is imminent; (All these), only add to my Grief
bàn chéng yān shā bīng lín chí xià
半 城 烟 沙 兵 临 池 下
The City dusted (by War), has Enemies at its Gates
jīn gē tiě mǎ tì shuí zhēng tiān xià
金 戈 铁 马 替 谁 争 天 下
Those shining Axes and armoured Horses, Fight this Land under Heaven for whom?
yī jiāng chéng wàn gǔ kū
一 将 成 万 骨 枯
Countless Skeletons makes a General
duō shǎo bái fā sòng zǒu hēi fā
多 少 白 发 送 走 黑 发
(While) numerous white-haired (People) mourn the black-haired (Ones)
bàn chéng yān shā suí fēng ér xià
半 城 烟 沙 随 风 而 下
The City dusted (by War), crumbles in the Wind
shǒu zhōng hái yǒu yī lǚ qiān guà
手 中 还 有 一 缕 牵 挂
With a Thread of Care in (my) Hand
zhī pàn guī tián xiè jiǎ
只 盼 归 田 卸 甲
(I) only hope to take off (my) Armour and return to the Fields
hái néng pěng huí nǐ qī de chá
还 能 捧 回 你 沏 的 茶
And then bring back the Tea that you made
yǒu xiē qíng rù kǔ nán huí mián
有 些 情 入 苦 难 回 绵
Some Affection irreversibly turned bitter
chuāng jiān yuè xī xī chéng jué
窗 间 月 夕 夕 成 玦
Became as incomplete as the Moon in the Window
yǒu xiē chóu xīn cáng què wú yán
有 些 仇 心 藏 却 无 言
Some hatred was hidden in Hearts and was unspoken
fù huà fēng xuě wéi dāo jiàn
腹 化 风 雪 为 刀 剑
Became cold Intentions to fight with Knives and Swords
ài ài ài
爱 爱 爱
Love, love, love
wéi le yī gè sù yuàn
为 了 一 个 夙 愿
Only to fulfill a lingering Wish
huāng luàn zhōng xié zhèng rú hé biàn
荒 乱 中 邪 正 如 何 辨
The Good becomes indistinguishable from the Evil in this Turmoil
fēi shā láng yān jiāng luàn wǒ
飞 沙 狼 烟 将 乱 我
With Sand in the Air and the Beacon (of War) lit
tú yǒu bēi tiān
徒 有 悲 添
Chaos is imminent; (All these), only add to my Grief
bàn chéng yān shā bīng lín chí xià

bàn chéng yān shā xuè lèi luò xià
半 城 烟 沙 血 泪 落 下
The City dusted by War, has cried Tears and dripped Blood
cán qí liè jiǎ pù hóng tiān yá
残 骑 裂 甲 铺 红 天 涯
(When) Mounts are crippled and Armours are cracked, (And when) the World is carpeted red
zhuǎn shì yàn hái gù tà
转 世 燕 还 故 榻
(I shall) reincarnate as a Swallow, and return to our old Bed
wéi nǐ xián lái èr yuè de huā
为 你 衔 来 二 月 的 花
To bring you, in my Beak, a February Flower
