Translation Notes: [1:53] Ganyu - Some drink dew all night and day I'm not too sure if its: 1. A joke that she's a goat 2. The idea that she's so overworked, she doesn't even have time to eat [2:18] Ningguang - Some destroyed a fortune from above Sea of Clouds, waves misting their hair I struggled a lot with translating this line. Fellow mandarin speakers, feel free to chime in on what you think the line means! I took a lot of creative liberty with it. When directly translated, it means "Some spent money recklessly above the Sea of Clouds, a thousand waves startling the swan" which made no sense to me I assumed 惊鹄 refers to a hairstyle from the Han Dynasty (惊鹄髻, loosely translated to mean astonished/startled swan bun) where the hair bun is divided into 2 to look like the wings of a swan. Here's an artist's rendition of the hairstyle: zhidao.baidu.com/question/918799966138091499.html I guess this hairstyle looks a little like Ningguang's? www.xiziwang.net/fj/51430_3.html Check out this article if you'd like to learn more about hairstyles throughout the Chinese dynasties: www.newhanfu.com/15138.html#:~:text=During%20the%20Qin%20Dynasty%2C%20there,Xian%20Ji%20(%E7%A5%9E%E4%BB%99%E9%AB%BB)
