Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Beauty Scroll”

yī xí bái shang méi huā lèi
一袭白裳梅花泪
Dressed in white, the tears of plum blossoms

yī shān shuǐ páng yìng yī méi
一山水旁映一枚
are reflected next to the mountains and rivers

yàn hóng chén dú lián huā hóng yǎn méi
厌红尘独怜花红眼眉
I hate the mortal world, I only like the flowers, which are as red as my eyes and brows

huí shǒu bú jiàn rén chī chēn
回首不见人痴嗔
Looking back, I don’t see people getting obsessive or mad

nà jǐng nà wù chù le shén
那景那物触了神
That scene and that object have touched my spirit

chūn qù qiū lái huā kāi le jǐ fèn
春去秋来花开了几分
Spring passes and autumn comes, to what extent the flowers have bloomed

shí guāng zěn bú jīng yī shēng
时光怎不经一生
How a lifetime passes

fú fú chén chén yǐ bàn shēng
浮浮沉沉已半生
Floating up and down, half a lifetime has passed

yī hú zhuó jiǔ yù suí fēng
一壶浊酒欲随风
With a pot of unstrained wine, I want to fly with the wind

yī bù yī piē sì jīng hóng
一步一瞥似惊鸿
Looking back once in every step, still feel unexpected

qíng zì yào rú hé zhuī wèn
情字要如何追问
How to ask deeper about love

yī zhǐ lán huā wéi shuí wǎn liú
一指兰花为谁挽留
Who am I saving this elegant finger dance for

qīng shān cháng bàn lǜ shuǐ
青山常伴绿水
Mountains are always by the side of rivers

yàn què yǐ shì nán fēi
燕雀已是南飞
Yet birds have flown south

měi rén huà juàn cán liú yī sī qīng huī tàn yú měi
美人画卷残留一丝青灰叹余美
There’s only a thread of green ash on the beauty scroll to sigh about the remaining beauty

huí yì bān bó wēi zuì
回忆斑驳微醉
The memories are mottled and slightly drunk

tàn xiàng sī wèi suí
叹相思未随
Sigh that the lovesickness didn’t follow

jǐ chūn jǐ qiū jǐ duàn lún huí
几春几秋几段轮回
How many springs and autumns, and how many times of reincarnation

shí guāng zěn bú jīng yī shēng
时光怎不经一生
How a lifetime passes

fú fú chén chén yǐ bàn shēng
浮浮沉沉已半生
Floating up and down, half a lifetime has passed

yī hú zhuó jiǔ yù suí fēng
一壶浊酒欲随风
With a pot of unstrained wine, I want to fly with the wind

yī bù yī piē sì jīng hóng
一步一瞥似惊鸿
Looking back once in every step, still feel unexpected

qíng zì yào rú hé zhuī wèn
情字要如何追问
How to ask deeper about love

yī zhǐ lán huā wéi shuí wǎn liú
一指兰花为谁挽留
Who am I saving this elegant finger dance for

qīng shān cháng bàn lǜ shuǐ
青山常伴绿水
Mountains are always by the side of rivers

yàn què yǐ shì nán fēi
燕雀已是南飞
Yet birds have flown south

měi rén huà juàn cán liú yī sī qīng huī tàn yú měi
美人画卷残留一丝青灰叹余美
There’s only a thread of green ash on the beauty scroll to sigh about the remaining beauty

huí yì bān bó wēi zuì
回忆斑驳微醉

tàn xiàng sī wèi suí
叹相思未随
Sigh that the lovesickness didn’t follow

jǐ chūn jǐ qiū jǐ duàn lún huí
几春几秋几段轮回
How many springs and autumns, and how many times of reincarnation

wǎng xī yuān yāng xì shuǐ
往昔鸳鸯戏水
We were like mandarin ducks playing together in the past

ér jīn bú xiàng yī wēi
而今不相依偎
Now we are no longer leaning on each other

měi jǐng liáng chén zòng rán wǔ mèi yì tú liú shāng bēi
美景良辰纵然妩媚亦徒留伤悲
Good times are beautiful yet leaving only sorrows

yuè yī bù biàn yī suì
越一步便一碎
Falling apart in every step

chūn mèng xiàng bàn rù shuì
春梦相伴入睡
Go to sleep together for a spring dream

mò rǎn xiāng fēn mò ān shì hún dùn
莫染香氛莫谙世混沌
One can’t understand the complicated world without being stained by it
