Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English
tà yè shēng míng
踏夜升明
Stepping Through the Night into Dawn
yōu gǔ shēng chū yè xiāo
幽谷生出夜枭
Owls emerge from the deep valley
shān yuè chén yú ní zhǎo
山月沉于泥沼
The mountain moon sinks into the mire
luàn yún shū yǐng liáo liáo
乱云疏影寥寥
Sparse shadows of scattered clouds are scarce
yè sè wú shēng què xiāng yāo
夜色无声却相邀
The night is silent yet invites
dài xuè rǎn zhòng huá rén xīn wèi jú
待血染重华 人心为局
When blood stains the splendid land, people’s hearts become a chess game
tiáo tiáo tiān dì jiē huà líng yǔ fēng rú cháo
迢迢天地 皆化囹圄 风如嘲
The vast heaven and earth all turn into prisons, the wind sounds like mockery
tàn shì yǒu dà qiān shēn sì lóu yǐ
叹世有大千 身似蝼蚁
Sigh that the world is vast, and the body is like an ant
fěn mò chàng bà hé chǔ guī qù wǒ wèi dào
粉墨唱罢 何处归去 我为道
After the performance with powder and ink, where to return, I am the way
ruò cháng yè kùn wǒ xīn
若长夜困我心
If the long night traps my heart
huì yǔ rú tiān qīng
晦雨如天倾
Dark rain pours like the sky is falling
nán cuī gǔ zhōng ào
难摧骨中傲
Can hardly break the pride in the bones
shēng sǐ wèi zhāo qí guǐ xiāng yíng
生死为招 奇诡相迎
Life and death are moves, weirdness greets
shū yíng píng shuí liào
输赢凭谁料
Who can predict victory or defeat
ruò rù jú zhě dú xǐng
若入局者独醒
If the one entering the game is the only one awake
zhí zǐ zhě xiān xíng
执子者先行
The one holding the chess pieces moves first
fēng bō kān jìn xiāo
风波堪尽消
Troubles can all subside
sān liǎng zhī jiāo yǔ tiān gòng yì
三两知交 与天共弈
A few close friends play chess with heaven
tà yè xún jì
踏夜寻迹
Stepping through the night in search of traces
mò tīng chuān lín dǎ yè shēng hé fáng yín xiào qiě xú xíng
莫听穿林打叶声 何妨吟啸且徐行
Don’t listen to the sound of wind through the woods and rain hitting leaves, why not chant and walk slowly
ruò cháng yè kùn wǒ xīn
若长夜困我心
If the long night traps my heart
huì yǔ rú tiān qīng
晦雨如天倾
Dark rain pours like the sky is falling
nán cuī gǔ zhōng ào
难摧骨中傲
Can hardly break the pride in the bones

迷海破妄 力挽将倾
Break delusions in the sea of confusion, strive to save the impending crisis
tà yè shēng míng
踏夜升明
Stepping Through the Night into Dawn
yōu gǔ shuāng tuì hán yáo
幽谷霜退寒遥
Frost fades in the deep valley, cold is far away
shān yuè líng líng xiāng zhào
山月泠泠相照
The mountain moon shines coldly
luàn yún dàn mò qīng miáo
乱云淡墨轻描
Scattered clouds are sketched with light ink
yè sè wú shēng jiàn pò xiǎo
夜色无声渐破晓
The night is silent and gradually breaks into dawn
