Song of Destiny - Forgetting Each Other in the Rivers and Lakes: Remembering Murong Ziying Lyrics

Lyrics: Qi Shi Music: "Song of Destiny zhidao"

  • Clear flute, long songs, laughing at life's vicissitudes
  • Traveling with sword, once traversed three thousand joys and sorrows
  • Wind's voice passing ears, as if old friends by my side
  • Only seeing returning cranes, yet holding red leaves to autumn's hues
  • Gentle breeze, long whip, smiling to ask how later generations fare
  • Lotus lanterns scattered, not remembering those three thousand desolations
  • Plain paper stained with ink, yet saying how to carve former faces
  • Heaven's will unpredictable, only empty branches left, no need to break
  • Youth all given, years all wasted, where do old friends know
  • Carrying your one promise, holding this lifetime, never to betray
  • One thought of long affection, one thought of bitter fate, why speak of strings and bamboo
  • But with the long wind as bones, how to stop for anyone
  • Roadside pavilions, carrying a sleeve of loneliness
  • Yin and Yang if separated, watching fleeting years several times fly past
  • Life like a dream, leaving white clothes, floating clouds covering
  • Long annals of history, merely faint records of dust's guests
  • Former dust vainly staying, reincarnation vainly going, three thousand red dust crossings
  • Riding the wind ten thousand miles, white snow covering all black hair
  • One song of constant parting, one song of different paths, why look at each other
  • Better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to moisten each other with saliva
  • Youth all given, years all wasted, where do old friends know
  • Carrying your one promise, holding this lifetime, never to betray
  • One song of constant parting, one song of different paths, why look at each other
  • Better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to moisten each other with saliva
