Текст и перевод песни 孫耀威 - 西太后

西太后

看台上那模特那华丽与偏激
似乎让我能望见前卫那本色
一寸一寸玩弄历史的针线
千秋衣装轻易被你改写了要点
百年未见谁像你 时尚会因你颠覆倒转
不对称反建构 拨乱大衣牵起了新世界大战
如果西太后也诞生在我家
古都会为你一早解禁吗
如保守与自制碰上了不羁潇洒
还不知最后会哪边先进化
挥针伏线绸挂 粉饰了繁华
醉眼酩骑黑马 色彩里御驾

禁城内那名字也同样那位她
那年大概同样也撩动过火花
她那手法万物亦都很惊讶
一子之差 威力用错 影响了国家
两条路线 如掉转 皇后会不会 叱咤称霸
搞设计 搞政变 或为地方的风气 枉费了造化
如果西太后也诞生在我家
古都会为你一早解禁吗
如保守与自制碰上了不羁潇洒
还不知最后会哪边先进化
如果西太后也诞生在我家 (身份对调一下)
新居会让你绑手绑脚吗
如保守与自制拒绝人革命成家
权威比赛异见哪边先软化

西山诞凤凰 凌乱里放光
北海躺卧房 华服也解放
朱砂染玉麟 绸缎破雪纺
颠法度 覆色相 随御驾收放

Empress Dowager of the West

The model on the stage, her extravagance and defiance,
Seem to reveal the true nature of the avant-garde.
Inch by inch, playing with the threads of history,
You rewrite the essentials of centuries of attire.
Unseen for a hundred years, fashion topples and revolves around you.
Asymmetrical deconstruction, chaotic garments ignite a new world war.
If the Empress Dowager were born in my home,
Would the ancient capital lift its restrictions for you?
When conservatism and restraint meet unbridled elegance,
Who can say which side will evolve first?
Wielding needle and thread, silk adorns prosperity,
With drunken eyes, riding a black steed, commanding within a realm of colours.

That name within the Forbidden City, she too,
Must have ignited sparks in her time.
Her methods left all things astonished,
One wrong move, misused power, impacting the nation.
Two paths diverge, had they been reversed, would the Empress have reigned supreme?
Designing, staging coups, or the local customs, wasting her talent.
If the Empress Dowager were born in my home,
Would the ancient capital lift its restrictions for you?
When conservatism and restraint meet unbridled elegance,
Who can say which side will evolve first?
If the Empress Dowager were born in my home (switching roles),
Would your new residence bind you hand and foot?
If conservatism and restraint reject revolution and change,
Will authority or dissent yield first?

A phoenix born on the Western Hills, radiating amidst chaos,
In the North Sea's sleeping chamber, even opulent attire finds liberation.
Cinnabar stains jade scales, silk tears through chiffon,
Defying norms, overturning colours, flowing with the imperial carriage.
