Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “What to Sing”
hé yǐ gē
何以歌
What Makes a Song
rù mèng de dài bù zǒu
入梦的 带不走
What enters dreams cannot be taken
chū xǐng de kàn bù tòu
初醒的 看不透
Newly awakened cannot see through
chóng féng qián lín bié hòu
重逢前 临别后
Before reunion, after parting
bō xuě xún chūn shāo dēng xù zhòu
拨雪寻春 烧灯续昼
Brushing snow to find spring, burning lamps to prolong day
cǐ shēn zàng fēng bō hái yǐ wéi xiāng wàng jiù shān hé
此身葬风波 还以为相忘旧山河
This body buried in storms, still thinking to forget old landscapes
nǐ wǒ wǎng shēng kè shuí cái shì chī kuáng zhě
你我往生客 谁才是痴狂者
We are but passing travelers, who is truly the mad one
bǎi guǐ guò huāng chéng dì jǐ cì jiāng héng dí chuī chè
百鬼过荒城 第几次将横笛吹彻
Hundred ghosts pass ruined city, how many times has the flute been played
ér cǐ kè yòu hé yǐ wéi gē
而此刻 又何以为歌
And now, what makes a song
shì diē suì chén āi de gū hún zài tiān yá yǒng yè chù róng shēn
是跌碎尘埃的孤魂 在天涯永夜处容身
A lone soul shattered in dust, finding shelter in eternal night at world’s end
tīng shuí chàng shì wài guāng yīn dòng zhōng zhāo mù zhǐ yí shùn
听谁唱世外光阴 洞中朝暮只一瞬
Hearing someone sing of time beyond, dawn and dusk in caves but a blink
shì shēng sǐ bù jī de huān hèn wèn qín xián yáo zhù le jǐ chéng
是生死不羁的欢恨 问琴弦遥祝了几程
Joy and hate untamed by life and death, asking how far the strings have blessed
jiù yòng zhè wú míng yì qǔ nuò cǐ shēng
就用这无名一曲诺此生
Let this nameless tune promise this life
zhǎng xíng de bù tíng liú
长行的 不停留
Those who journey far do not stay
guī lái de piāo líng jiǔ
归来的 飘零久
Those who return have wandered long
lín bié qián chóng féng hòu
临别前 重逢后
Before parting, after reunion
lín quán dù shuǐ bái yún zài jiǔ
林泉渡水 白云载酒
Forest springs cross waters, white clouds carry wine
shì fēng yún yù xuè de gù rén zài tiān dì jìng mò chù qǐ chún
是风云浴血的故人 在天地静默处启唇
Old comrades bathed in storm and blood, opening lips where heaven and earth stay silent
dī chàng guò shì wài guāng yīn dòng zhōng zhāo mù zhǐ yí shùn
低唱过世外光阴 洞中朝暮只一瞬
Softly sang of time beyond, dawn and dusk in caves but a blink
shì chū qiào jí zhǎn de shuāng rèn bì bù kāi xīn tóu jiù hóng chén
是出鞘即斩的霜刃 避不开心头旧红尘
Frost blades unsheathed to strike, cannot avoid old dust in heart
jiù yòng zhè wú míng yì qǔ nuò cǐ shēng
就用这无名一曲诺此生
Let this nameless tune promise this life
