鞠婧禕 (Ju Jingyi) - 叹云兮 (Sigh at the Clouds) (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
If this world withers
I will stay by your side
Resisting rumors and criticism
With silence and determination
If everything in this world
Is ruthlessly bursting into pieces
I will mend it with the strings in my hands
[Pre-Chorus]
With you, I will watch sunrise and moonsets
With you, I will watch ocean tides come and go
With you, I will compose poetry of our memories together
With you, l will rewrite the plot
With you, I will travel the eight lands
Only because you know and read me so well, and you're destined to be the blood of my heart
[Chorus]
This manifests the cosmic connection between us
It's also the most beautiful encounter of our lives
Don't be bitter and cynical
Smiles suit you better
Once more
Please recall the details of yester-year
Don't be grumpy that I'm not by your side
Remember that I'll be in your heart
[Verse 2
When our fates overlap
That's when it dawned on me that
In this world
Perfection can be a meeting of fragments
Time does not stop
It's inevitable like the falling of flowers and leaves
But the fact that you're here, balms my every wound with kindness and gentleness
[Pre-Chorus]
With you, I'll watch the moon of the Plum Sea
With you, I'll stroll along the streets of Sky Peace
With you, I'll write my thoughts down as the final prescriptions
The years I spent with you
Will eventually become eternity
Please remember that I never retreated
Every night, I'm on your mind, keeping you company
[Chorus]
On my lips
What I pain to part with is my attachment to you
Alas, separation
Always happens before a happy ending
My wish
Is not for looking at each other, teary eyed and holding hands
But for you to
Take up the smile that used to be because of me
[Bridge]
If the story were to happen again
I think I would still exchange for a future using everything I have
Even if I won't be in that future
But you would understand that I "love you forever, babe"
[Chorus]
This manifests the cosmic connection between us
It's also the most beautiful encounter of our lives
Don't be bitter and cynical
Smiles suit you better
Once more
Please recall the details of yester-year
Don't be grumpy that I'm not by your side
Remember that I'll be in your heart
[Outro]
I'll be in your heart
I'll be the blood of your heart
