[Verse 1]
The night in the Cloud Recesses is cool
The bright moon and clear breeze winds around my heart
Someone watches the snow
Gazing into the days long gone

Gusu’s Emperor’s Smile
Bury it in the snow to preserve its beauty
The qin plays in the Jingshi
A song of inquiry, unanswered

[Chorus]
Are you still asking?
Asking after the madness of those ancient people
Who is in that faraway place?
Ask again to your old friend
Right-and-wrong, destruction, what is it worth?

Can you forget?
We made a promise together in the Cloud Recesses, as the world crowded around us
Kind sir, where are you?
We gazed at each other, I cannot forget that

[Verse 2]
The one who washes away impurities, the light holder
The renowned one who appears when there is chaos
Yet, he cannot forget
The things that have happened before
