Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “The Painted Crane”
fēng jǐn yún xiáng luò yīng huáng huáng
风 紧 云 祥 落 英 黄 黄
It’s windy and cloudy in the sky, yellow petals are falling on the ground
tǐng shēn ér lì yǐn kēng dù láng
挺 身 而 立 引 吭 渡 狼
I stand upright, making howl to lead wolves away
míng hè zài yīn zǐ hé zhī páng
鸣 鹤 在 阴 子 和 之 旁
Whooping the crane, and its child is echoing aside
wéi hé yú wǒ zhēn qíng bào yàng
为 何 于 我 真 情 抱 恙
Whereas my true feelings were unrequited
xīn nán shì huāng běi shì shā chǎng
心 南 是 荒 北 是 沙 场
The south of my heart is a desert, while the north is battlefield
zhōng yì nán dāng wú miǎn zhī wáng
忠 义 难 当 无 冕 之 王
Loyalty is hard to keep since I’m a king that hasn’t been crowned
yǐ qíng shào fàng wú dé wú liàng
以 情 哨 放 无 德 无 量
I stand sentry with love as I’m yet too far from qualified
qī xī yě làng zì zài jiān shāng
栖 息 野 浪 自 在 兼 伤
Inhabiting in the wild waves, I feel comfortable but despondent
zǒu guò jǐn xiù dì yù
走 过 锦 绣 地 狱
Walking through the splendid hell
zǒu guò huǎn xíng gāo táng
走 过 缓 刑 高 堂
and the court where I was put on probation
lì shǐ huī shǒu yī bǐ
历 史 挥 手 一 笔
I realized that just need one stroke
jiù shì gōu xīn duàn cháng
就 是 勾 心 断 肠
can the history kiss you in miserable
yù shàng gāo lóu yǎn yì
欲 上 高 楼 演 义
I wish to occupy a commanding position and play a historical romance
bú tóng jiāng xiàng jun wáng
不 同 将 相 君 王
which is different from other kings and knights
zhū mò zì jīn huáng
朱 墨 渍 金 黄
Writing with ink from cinnabar that stained with golden yellow
jiǎo xià yǒu qióng cāng
脚 下 有 穹 苍
walking as if the sky is beneath my feet
shān mù zì kòu gāo huǒ zì jiān
山 木 自 寇 膏 火 自 煎
Wood chopped by helves made by itself, candle burned by fuels when light itself
rén yǐ dāo zǔ biàn wéi yú ròu
人 以 刀 俎 便 为 鱼 肉
If enemy become predator, then I’ll be the prey
tiān dì mǎn xiù dàn qiú yōu yóu
天 地 满 袖 但 求 悠 游
In the great world all I want is to live freely and comfortably
huá tíng zhào jiù lì zài xīn tóu
华 亭 照 旧 唳 在 心 头
The pavilion remained unchanged, while my wail was keeping in heart
zǒu guò jǐn xiù dì yù
走 过 锦 绣 地 狱
Walking through the splendid hell
zǒu guò huǎn xíng gāo táng
走 过 缓 刑 高 堂
and the court where I was put on probation
lì shǐ huī shǒu yī bǐ
历 史 挥 手 一 笔
I realized that just need one stroke
jiù shì gōu xīn duàn cháng
就 是 勾 心 断 肠
can the history kiss you in miserable
yù shàng gāo lóu yǎn yì
欲 上 高 楼 演 义
I wish to occupy a commanding position and play a historical romance
bú tóng jiāng xiàng jun wáng
不 同 将 相 君 王
which is different from other kings and knights
zhū mò zì jīn huáng
朱 墨 渍 金 黄
Writing with ink from cinnabar that stained with golden yellow
jiǎo xià yǒu qióng cāng
脚 下 有 穹 苍
walking as if the sky is beneath my feet
cuò fǒu qì zuì wéi guì shǒu wú yǒng
错 否 泣 罪 为 贵 手 无 勇
Is it wrong? The dignitary pity a sinner yet it shows having no braveness
zhī fǒu qún shí ér zhuó yǐng shì móu
知 否 群 食 而 啄 颖 是 谋
Do you know? That contention of group is all about tactics
qù kàn hóng chén shì jǐng
去 看 红 尘 市 井
To get down into everyday life
qù kàn shēn gōng pīng tíng
去 看 深 宫 娉 婷
To see the palace beauties
qù kàn ruì hè pián lì
去 看 瑞 鹤 骈 立
and to see the cranes standing side by side
yī jiǎo dǎo suì qiū dǐng
一 脚 蹈 碎 丘 顶
and crushing the farmhouse
é shàng yún liǎn fēng qīng
额 上 云 敛 峰 青
Mountains are rising out of the cloud
wǒ zhī shǒu zhù huá tíng
我 只 手 筑 华 亭
I built a pavilion by my own
xīn zhōng de āi míng
心 中 的 哀 鸣
Inner plaintive whine
yǒu zì yóu huí yīn
有 自 由 回 音
may have echo of freedom
xīn zhōng de zì yóu
心 中 的 自 由
While inner freedom will be something that
huì yún dàn fēng qīng
会 云 淡 风 轻
I don’t need to fight over
huà wú luò kuǎn
画 无 落 款
There’s no signature left on the painting
zhè nán kē yī mèng
这 南 柯 一 梦
This fond dream
yǔ guò tiān qíng
雨 过 天 晴
eventually was cleared up like the sky with sunshine after rain
