Lyrics and translation 劉思涵 - 吹夢到西洲

吹夢到西洲

無何化有 感物知春秋
秋毫濡沫欲綢繆 搦管相留
留骨攢峰 留容映水秀
留觀四時曾邂逅 佳人西洲

西洲何有 遠樹平高丘
雲閒方外雨不收 稚子牽牛
鬧市無聲 百態陰晴栩栩侔
藤衣半卷苔衣皺 歲月自無憂

駕馬驅車 尚幾程扶搖入畫中 咫尺
徑曲橋橫 精誠難通 盼你渡口 待你橋頭

松香接地走
揮癯龍繡虎出懷袖
起微石落海連波動
描數曲箜篌線同軸
勒筆煙直大漠 滄浪盤虯
一紙淋漓漫點方圓透
記我 長風萬里繞指未相勾
形生意成 此意 逍遙不游

日月何壽 江海滴更漏
愛向人間借朝暮 悲喜為酬
種柳春鶯 知它風塵不可救
綿綿更在三生後 誰隔世讀關鳩

詩說紅豆 遍南國未見人長久 見多少
來時芳華 去時白頭 忘你不捨 尋你不休
畫外人易朽
似濃淡相間色相構
染冰雪先披琉璃胄
蘸朱紫將登金銀樓
天命碧城灰土 刀弓褐鏽
舉手夜古潑斷青藍右
照我 螢燈嫁晝隻影歸洪流
身魂如寄 此世 逍遙不游

情一物 無木成林無水行舟
情一事 未算藏謀真還謬
情一人 積深不厚積年不舊
情一念 墨盡非空 百代飛白驟 劃地為囚

藍田需汲酒 惟瓊漿能澆美玉瘦
至高者清難垢 至貴者潤因愁
痴竭火 知她不能求
醉逢歌 知他不必候
只約靈犀過隙靈光暗相投
萬籟停吹奏
支頤聽秋水問蜉蝣
既玄冥不可量北斗
卻何信相思最溫柔
顧盼花發鴻蒙 怦然而夢
你與二十八宿皆回眸
系我 彩翼鯨尾紅絲天地周
情之所至 此心 逍遙不游

Dream Blowing to the West Lake

Self-created, everything is felt over years
The wee things in life, I'd like to hold onto
I remember your sharp features, beauty radiating
I reminisce our encounters, lovely lady of the West Lake

What's in the West Lake? Rolling hills
Clouds, carefree children herding the cattle
No noise in the city, life goes on
The vines wrap around, moss grows on the tiles

I'll be there soon, a painting in motion
The winding bridge, I'll cross it, waiting on the other side

Pine trees touch the ground
I wave my sleeves, dragons and tigers come out
I flick my wrist, water ripples out
The melody of the harp flows through the air
I paint the vast desert, the waves crash on the shore
The paper is filled with ink, every stroke is perfect
Remember me, the wind plays with you
You come to life, you're free, you're not bound

How long can we live? Look at the water clock
I borrow the morning and evening from the world
I plant willows in spring, knowing the dust can't be saved
We'll meet again in the next life, who reads the love letter?

Red beans mean love, but love is hard to find
Young and beautiful, then old and grey
The outsider is easily forgotten
Like the colors, they fade away
I paint with snow and ice
I add red and purple, I go to the top
The sky is blue, the earth is gray
I throw away the old, I start anew
The fireflies dance, I'm alone
My soul is free, I'm not bound

Love is like a tree, it needs water to grow
Love is a mystery, it's hard to understand
Love is a person, it's deep, it's old
Love is like ink, it's permanent

I drink wine from the blue river
The highest is clean, the most precious is bright
I know she can't be mine
I meet her drunk, I don't need to wait
I only meet her for a moment
The music stops
I listen to the autumn water, I ask the mayfly
The dipper can't be measured
But I believe love is the sweetest
I look at the flowers, I dream
You and the stars look back at me
You tie me up, red strings all around
My heart is free, I'm not bound
