Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Returning Home念归去”
lěng lěng yún jiān hán yuè
冷 冷 云 间 寒 月
Among the frosty clouds, there is the cold moon
piān guài yè sè qiǎn
偏 怪 夜 色 浅
A strange light in the night
bàn mèng xiàng sī bàn mèng qiè
半 梦 相 思 半 梦 怯
In the dreams, there are longing and fear
céng céng hǎi làng duī dié
层 层 海 浪 堆 叠
The layers of waves build up
zhòng fù zhe shì yán
重 复 着 誓 言
Repeating the promise
què zhōng jiū xiāo sàn bú jiàn
却 终 究 消 散 不 见
But, they disappear in the end
le le jǐ cì xiàng jiàn
了 了 几 次 相 见
We’ve met several times
yě nán tí jiù yuán
也 难 提 旧 缘
But, it’s hard to mention our past fated relationship
qīng tàn wǎng shì báo rú yān
轻 叹 往 事 薄 如 烟
Sighing for the past is as thin as smoke
bāo kāi xīn zhōng de jiǎn
剥 开 心 中 的 茧
Peel the cocoon in my heart
nǐ zhù zài lǐ miàn
你 住 在 里 面
You live in there
bú céng bèi shuí fā xiàn
不 曾 被 谁 发 现
and never found by anyone
wèn guāng yīn jiè yī juàn
问 光 阴 借 一 卷
Ask the time to borrow
wàng bú diào de jì niàn
忘 不 掉 的 纪 念
a chapter of the unforgettable memories
què bú jiàn què bú jiàn
却 不 见 却 不 见
Not seen, not seen
céng yǐ wéi de qiǎn quǎn
曾 以 为 的 缱 绻
I once thought there was a deep bond
yòng shí zhǐ xīn xuè
用 十 指 心 血
Using ten finger to painstakingly
dàn gǔ lǎo de qín xián
弹 古 老 的 琴 弦
to play the ancient strings
zhī wéi huàn nǐ yī xiào de shùn jiān
只 为 换 你 一 笑 的 瞬 间
in exchange for only a moment of your smile
shě yī shēng ài yī rén
舍 一 生 爱 一 人
Using a lifetime, to love only one person
yòu zěn jì suàn kuī qiàn
又 怎 计 算 亏 欠
How can you calculate the debt between each other
què bú yuàn què bú yuàn
却 不 愿 却 不 愿
But unwilling, unwilling
huàn chéng nuò yǔ bào qiàn
换 承 诺 与 抱 歉
To make an exchange for a promise and apology
lái shēng tài yáo yuǎn
来 生 太 遥 远
Our next lives are too far away
níng yuàn fěn shēn hún qiān
宁 愿 粉 身 魂 牵
I’d rather turn into ashes and be lost in reverie
niàn guī qù bǐ shí mèng yuán
念 归 去 彼 时 梦 圆
When I want to return home, it will be time, for my dream to come true
wèn guāng yīn jiè yī juàn
问 光 阴 借 一 卷
Ask the time to borrow
wàng bú diào de jì niàn
忘 不 掉 的 纪 念
a chapter of the unforgettable memories
què bú jiàn què bú jiàn
却 不 见 却 不 见
Not seen, not seen
céng yǐ wéi de qiǎn quǎn
