Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Dance of the Startled Swan”
jīng hóng wǔ
惊鸿舞
Dance of the Startled Swan
piān ruò jīng hóng, wǎn ruò yóu lóng
翩若惊鸿，婉若游龙
Light as startled swan, graceful as soaring dragon
róng yào qiū jú, huá mào chūn sōng
荣曜秋菊，华茂春松
Glorious as autumn chrysanthemum, lush as spring pine
fǎng fú xī ruò qīng yún zhī bì yuè
髣髴兮若轻云之蔽月
Like light clouds veiling the moon
piāo yáo xī ruò liú fēng zhī huí xuě
飘飖兮若流风之回雪
Floating like wind-blown snow
yuǎn ér wàng zhī, jiǎo ruò tài yáng shēng zhāo xiá
远而望之，皎若太阳升朝霞
Seen from afar, bright as sunrise through morning mist
pò ér chá zhī, zhuó ruò fú qú chū lù bō
迫而察之，灼若芙蕖出渌波
Viewed up close, radiant as lotus rising from clear waves
