Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Flower Burial Chant”
zàng huā yín
葬花吟
Flower Burial Chant
huā xiè huā fēi fēi mǎn tiān
花谢花飞飞满天
Falling petals fill the sky
hóng xiāo xiāng duàn yǒu shuí lián
红消香断有谁怜
Who pities fading red and scent
yóu sī ruǎn xì piāo chūn xiè
游丝软系飘春榭
Gossamer drifts by spring pavilion
luò xù qīng zhān pū xiù lián
落絮轻沾扑绣帘
Catkins lightly cling to embroidered screens
yī nián sān bǎi liù shí rì
一年三百六十日
Three hundred sixty days each year
fēng dāo shuāng jiàn yán xiāng bī
风刀霜剑严相逼
Winds knife and frost sword press harshly
míng mèi xiān yán néng jǐ shí
明媚鲜妍能几时
How long can brightness and freshness last
yī zhāo piāo bó nán xún mì
一朝漂泊难寻觅
Once scattered, hard to find again
huā kāi yì jiàn luò nán xún
花开易见落难寻
Flowers bloom seen, but fallen unseen
jiē qián chóu shā zàng huā rén
阶前愁杀葬花人
Before steps, flower burier grieves
dú yǐ huā chú tōu sǎ lèi
独倚花锄偷洒泪
Leaning on hoe, secretly shedding tears
sǎ shàng kōng zhī jiàn xuè hén
洒上空枝见血痕
On bare branches, bloodstains appear
yuàn nú xié xià shēng shuāng yì
愿奴胁下生双翼
Would I had wings at my sides
suí huā fēi dào tiān jìn tóu
随花飞到天尽头
To follow flowers to sky’s end
tiān jìn tóu
天尽头
Sky’s end
hé chù yǒu xiāng qiū
何处有香丘
Where lies a fragrant mound
tiān jìn tóu
天尽头
Sky’s end
hé chù yǒu xiāng qiū
何处有香丘
Where lies a fragrant mound
wèi ruò jǐn náng shōu yàn gǔ
未若锦囊收艳骨
Better silken bag hold fair bones
yī póu jìng tǔ yǎn fēng liú
一抔净土掩风流
Pure earth cover this grace
zhì běn jié lái huán jié qù
质本洁来还洁去
Pure came, pure shall return
qiáng yú wū nào xiàn qú gōu
强于污淖陷渠沟
Better than ditch mud defilement
ěr jīn sǐ qù nóng shōu zàng
尔今死去侬收葬
Now you die, I bury you
wèi bǔ nóng shēn hé rì sàng
未卜侬身何日丧
Know not when my turn comes
nóng jīn zàng huā rén xiào chī
侬今葬花人笑痴
They laugh at my flower-burying folly
tā nián zàng nóng zhī shì shuí
他年葬侬知是谁
Who’ll bury me in coming years
shì kàn chūn cán huā jiàn luò
试看春残花渐落
See spring fade, flowers fall
biàn shì hóng yán lǎo sǐ shí
便是红颜老死时
Just when beauty ages and dies
yī zhāo chūn jìn hóng yán lǎo
一朝春尽红颜老
Once spring ends, beauty fades
huā luò rén wáng liǎng bù zhī
花落人亡两不知
Flowers fall, none knows who died
huā luò rén wáng liǎng bù zhī
花落人亡两不知
Flowers fall, none knows who died
huā luò rén wáng liǎng bù zhī
花落人亡两不知
Flowers fall, none knows who died
