Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “In The Span Of A Single Thought一念之间”
shuí miàn qián yī piàn yún lǐ wù lǐ de shān
谁 面 前 一 片 云 里 雾 里 的 山
In front of whom is spread mountain range shrouded in clouds and fog
tuī kāi mén wǒ shì kàn fēng jǐng de rén
推 开 门 我 是 看 风 景 的 人
Pushing open the door, I am the person who is gazing at the scenery
zhuǎn yī quān jiàn xiān wài xiān jiàn tiān wài tiān
转 一 圈 见 仙 外 仙 见 天 外 天
Spinning in a circle, [I] see the immortals beyond [this] immortal, the skies beyond [this] sky
tiān dì jiān wǒ qiān guà de shì nà yī yǎn
天 地 间 我 牵 挂 的 是 那 一 眼
Between the heaven and the earth, what I care about is that one glance
nà yī juàn pō mò liú bái de fèn cùn gǎn
那 一 卷 泼 墨 留 白 的 分 寸 感
The sense of propriety in that scroll of message [you] left with splashed ink
qiān bǎi biàn wǒ zài xīn lǐ mò niàn
千 百 遍 我 在 心 里 默 念
Hundreds and thousands of times, I’ve silently read it within my heart
rào yī quān nà xiē nián de wù dào cān chán
绕 一 圈 那 些 年 的 悟 道 参 禅
Having gone around in a circle, the enlightenment and meditation of those years
nǐ miàn qián shǐ zhōng wú fǎ shuō yuán
你 面 前 始 终 无 法 说 圆
I still cannot completely explain [them] in front of you
kàn yī kàn qián lù wān wān
看 一 看 前 路 弯 弯
Look, the road before [us] curves
jiàn yī jiàn huā luò chí biān
见 一 见 花 落 池 边
See, flowers fall beside the pond
tīng yī tīng dàn yù duàn xián
听 一 听 弹 欲 断 弦
Listen, [the music being] played [as if one] wants the strings to snap
huì yī huì dì kuò tiān yuán
会 一 会 地 阔 天 圆
Meet [one another somewhere on] the broad earth, [beneath] the round sky
zhuǎn yī zhuǎn chén shì fán jiān
转 一 转 尘 世 凡 间
Walk about [in this] mundane world of the common folk
zhī bú guò yī niàn zhī jiān
只 不 过 一 念 之 间
[Everything happens] merely in the span of a single thought
nǐ lái guò wǒ jì dé biàn shì yǒng yuǎn
你 来 过 我 记 得 便 是 永 远
You’ve been here; I remember. And that’s what forever is
rú yī lǚ qīng yān huī zhī bú qù zhōng rì chán mián
如 一 缕 青 烟 挥 之 不 去 终 日 缠 绵
Like a tendril of smoke, impossible to get rid of, lingering all day
nǐ zhuǎn shēn wǒ jīng guò biàn shì rén jiān
你 转 身 我 经 过 便 是 人 间
You turn around; I pass by. And that’s what the mortal world is
rú yī dī shuǐ liàn nǐ zhǐ jiān wàn bān bú yuàn
如 一 滴 水 恋 你 指 尖 万 般 不 愿
Like a drop of water, in love with to your fingertips, ever so unwilling [to fall away]
nà yī juàn pō mò liú bái de fèn cùn gǎn
那 一 卷 泼 墨 留 白 的 分 寸 感

qiān bǎi biàn wǒ zài xīn lǐ mò niàn
千 百 遍 我 在 心 里 默 念
