Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “There’s Always Something Better”
shān wài qīng shān lóu wài lóu rén wài yǒu rén tiān wài yǒu tiān liáo kuò
山 外 青 山 楼 外 楼 人 外 有 人 天 外 有 天 辽 阔
There’s mountain beyond this mountain, there’s building beyond this building, there’s talents beyond this talent, there’s vast sky beyond this sky
ài hèn qíng chóu jǐ shí bà xiū duō shǎo fēn rǎo jìn xiāo zhī yī hú jiǔ
爱 恨 情 仇 几 时 罢 休 多 少 纷 扰 尽 消 只 一 壶 酒
When can all the love and hate ever end, all the disturbances can be eliminated by just a pot of wine
liǎng xiù wǔ qīng fēng fàng dé xià shì qīng sōng
两 袖 舞 清 风 放 得 下 是 轻 松
Dancing in clear wind with my sleeves, there’s relaxation if you can let go
zhú lín shēn yōu yōu kàn dé tòu shì cóng róng
竹 林 深 幽 幽 看 得 透 是 从 容
Like the deep bamboo forest, you can live at ease if you can see through
hǎo hàn bú tí dāng nián yǒng jiā rén bú yì chī qíng mèng
好 汉 不 提 当 年 勇 佳 人 不 忆 痴 情 梦
A hero is silent about his past glories, a beauty won’t remember her infatuated dreams
zhī jǐ gǔ jīn zǒng nán qiú rú yù lìng yī gè wǒ
知 己 古 今 总 难 求 如 遇 另 一 个 我
It’s always difficult to find a confidant, it’s like finding another version of myself
yī shì niǎn zhuǎn qiān wàn lǐ
一 世 辗 转 千 万 里
Going back and forth for thousands of miles in a lifetime
shān gāo shuǐ zhǎng jun bàn nǐ
山 高 水 长 君 伴 你
I’ll be with you through the high mountains and long rivers
mò wèn chéng bài zhòng jǐ xǔ
莫 问 成 败 重 几 许
Don’t ask how many times I’ve succeeded and failed
fú shēng huǎn huǎn lái zòu yī qǔ
浮 生 缓 缓 来 奏 一 曲
Play a song to slowly unveil the floating life
kàn guò le lù guò le dà mò láng yān
看 过 了 路 过 了 大 漠 狼 烟
I’ve seen and walked past the wolf smoke on the vast desert
yān zhī kòu tóng xīn suǒ tiān gé yī biān
胭 脂 扣 同 心 锁 天 隔 一 边
The tokens of love are separated a world apart
tiān yá biān míng yuè yuán sī jun bú jiàn
天 涯 边 明 月 圆 思 君 不 见
At the edge of world and under the bright and round moon, it’s a pity I can’t see you
yī hú chá yī sù zhuāng yī zhǐ bái juàn
一 壶 茶 一 素 装 一 纸 白 卷
With a pot of tea, a plain clothes and a piece of white paper
wǔ bǎi nián xiū wéi bú gòu
五 百 年 修 为 不 够
Five hundred years of cultivation is still not enough
hé jù tā zài lái wǔ bǎi
何 惧 它 再 来 五 百
Why not having another five hundred
yī lù shàng hē jiǔ chī ròu
一 路 上 喝 酒 吃 肉
Drinking wine and eating meat all the way
yě hái yǒu kǎn kě bō shé
也 还 有 坎 坷 波 折
And there are bound to be obstacles, twists and turns
shān wài qīng shān lóu wài lóu
山 外 青 山 楼 外 楼
There’s mountain beyond this mountain, there’s building beyond this building
rén zhōng lóng fèng jìn fēng liú
人 中 龙 凤 尽 风 流
It’s the prime time for the top talents among people
bié lái cāng hǎi zhī yīn shǎo
别 来 沧 海 知 音 少
There are few confidants since we parted
jiǎo tà fēng chén rén wèi jiù
脚 踏 风 尘 人 未 旧
Been through a lot, but I remain unchanged
shān wài qīng shān lóu wài lóu rén wài yǒu rén tiān wài yǒu tiān liáo kuò
山 外 青 山 楼 外 楼 人 外 有 人 天 外 有 天 辽 阔
There’s mountain beyond this mountain, there’s building beyond this building, there’s talents beyond this talent, there’s vast sky beyond this sky
ài hèn qíng chóu jǐ shí bà xiū duō shǎo fēn rǎo jìn xiāo zhī yī hú jiǔ
爱 恨 情 仇 几 时 罢 休 多 少 纷 扰 尽 消 只 一 壶 酒
When can all the love and hate ever end, all the disturbances can be eliminated by just a pot of wine
shān wài qīng shān lóu wài lóu shēn zài qí zhōng fāng zhī tiān gāo dì hòu
山 外 青 山 楼 外 楼 身 在 其 中 方 知 天 高 地 厚
There’s mountain beyond this mountain, there’s building beyond this building, only when being in the situation would you know how high is the sky and how thick is the earth
chōu dāo duàn shuǐ shuǐ gèng liú xiào kàn fán huá jìn luò rú yún yōu yōu
抽 刀 断 水 水 更 流 笑 看 繁 华 尽 落 如 云 悠 悠
You can’t stop water from flowing by cutting it with a knife, just watch the prosperity withers with a smile, just like watching clouds slowly flow
xiàn bié rén de xí yàn wàng le wǎn nèi de tāng miàn
羡 别 人 的 席 宴 忘 了 碗 内 的 汤 面
Don’t forget the plain food in your bowl after envying other people’s banquet
chèn dāng xià cháng yī huí cái shì zuì měi de zī wèi
趁 当 下 尝 一 回 才 是 最 美 的 滋 味
Having a taste right now is the best taste
yuè yuán yuè quē jiē shì yuè bǎ jiǔ bú bì wèn qīng tiān
月 圆 月 缺 皆 是 月 把 酒 不 必 问 青 天
Waxing or waning, it’s still the same moon, you don’t need to ask the blue sky while drinking
tián yě huāng yě jiē shì yě jiāng hú dōu róng wǒ kuáng yě
田 野 荒 野 皆 视 野 江 湖 都 容 我 狂 野
Field or wilderness, it’s all scenery, the Martial World allows me to go wild
yī shì niǎn zhuǎn qiān wàn lǐ
一 世 辗 转 千 万 里
Going back and forth for thousands of miles in a lifetime
shān gāo shuǐ zhǎng jun bàn nǐ

The road can be thrilling, can be winding, it’s all up to the person who walks on it

钱 生 不 带 来 死 不 带 走 何 必 苦 苦 恋
You didn’t come to this world with money, nor you can take it away after death, so why getting obsessed for it
