- Hi,
Apologies if there are any mistakes. Please let me know and I will do my best to correct it ASAP.
Also, if anyone has a suggestion for how to translate the opera lines in a more coherent manner please let me know because I have some trouble thinking of how to phrase it in a way that makes sense in English.😓😅
The lines in question;
浓情悔认真
回头皆幻景对面是何人
Thank you :)
Kind Regards

Song Background extract from classcalstylechinesesongtranslation.blogspot.com/
On the seventh of July, in the twenty-sixth year since the establishment of the Republic of China, following the firing of Japanese guns, the whole nation was plunged into chaos and suffering. At this point in time, still shielded from war fire, was the peaceful county of An Yuan. Upon their theater stage, songs from the play, “The Peach Blossom Fan”, were still being sung. It was a love story of Hou Fangyu, a scholar from a distinguished family, and Li Xiangjun, a courtesan of great loyalty and integrity, set in the turbulent times at the end of the Ming dynasty. The actors take their positions, coming and going from the stage, only, it wasn’t sure whose heartfelt griefs were being performed.
Those were the days when only men performed on stage, playing both male and female characters. Pei Yanzhi was one such star of his theater group. Upon that stage, his long water sleeves flowed with grace, his singing voice never failed to mesmerize. The female lead he played, Li Xiangjun, though a courtesan of low standing, was bold in love and hatred, steely in her convictions, so much so she was willing to shed blood on her lover’s parting gift to her, the fan, which gave form to the peach blossoms splattered upon it. In rounds of cheers and applause, Pei Yanzhi brought Li Xiangjun to life. However, the nation is shattering, her lands left in desolation, who can be spared of this reality?
Not long after, the battlefront reached their doorstep. The Japanese army surrounded the city, and ordered a private show from the theater to entertain their men. They specifically named Pei Yanzhi to perform. If the theater refused, they would have it burned down, with all the people within. They’d even burn the city down. Everyone would die.
Pei Yanzhi smiled, and did not decline. He turned to his dressing table and began to line his eyes. Nightfall. The city was silent, a stark contrast to the commotion and bright lighting within the theater. Enemy soldiers seated before the stage, drinking and feasting and making merry. The cymbals and drums peeled, curtains rose, it’s showtime.
On the stage, singing about deep, unfaltering love. Beneath the stage, seated rapacious wolves and monsters. The drumroll intensified, the singing rose to a crescendo of grief and rage, startling the villainous audience. Just then, “Li Xiangjun” shouted her order, “light the fire!”
Upon the enemy’s realization, the fire had already spread, and while they crammed for their escape, found out that all exits were barred, tight and secure. The entire building had been drenched in oil without their knowing.
The songs continued still. “I’ve once seen jade halls in the twitter of morning birds, and flowers by the river pavilion in early bloom, who knew it was ephemeral as melting frost. Now I see him building crimson towers, now I see him hosting guests in banquets, now I see his tower coming down. Within this moss-ridden rubble, I’ve slept upon a grand dream, spectated fifty years of glory and fall…” The building came down, but the show had not yet ended.
Though of humble standing, he never dared to forget the plight of his homeland. People say actors are heartless, who knew they, too, had a heart.
I love that song for its tune, storytelling and mixing Chinese opera quotes. The story is symbolic of what very serious grievances arose in the Japanese war of aggression against China (such as the Nanjing Massacre, the incredibly horrible Changchun and Harbin extermination camps, the bloody guerilla war), although the story in the song is not actual History and no one by that name really did what is described.
I am glad I came across this song and learned about the history behind it.
it is not actual History though, but very symbolic.
It is so beautiful. I couldn't help tearing up when I listen and read the translation. Thank you for sharing this.
3:38 This is a famous line from Dream of the Red Chamber Hong Lou Meng. It describes this big show that everyone puts up, referring to those pretentious people who believe themselves 'good', though I am not completely sure of this meaning so please correct me if there are any mistakes
Thank you

翻译的真好，赞！这种歌太难翻译了... 唯一的建议就是把“the water sleeves move gracefully”改成"the water sleeves flow gracefully"，这样稍微好听一些。 其实应该翻译成“rise and fall”，但这个已经用在其他地方了
Thank you very much :)
谢谢您给我的建议😊。
我的中文不太好，所以很抱歉要是回您的话的时候，语法和礼仪上面有些冒犯。😓😅
@@tempestjun437 咦，我是混血，中文应该比你差多了，呵呵
Yes
This is the best motivation song i've ever heard 🙏🏻🙏🏻😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is there any animation for the story of this song? If there some, ITS gonna be great 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi, I'm not sure about any animation but I did see one video that looks like a mv that tells the story with scenes from the movie Farewell My Concubine.
The link is: th-cam.com/video/Lw1twVKCsXU/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this detailed explanation. Videos like this help the world understand customs and cultures throughout. Blessings.💖💖💖
I used to sing song in the past but I don’t know the meaning so I come across this meaning so now I know the real meaning of this song I felt pity for the people that sacrifice themselves to save the country I cried while singing the song
They are courageous enough to do this not every can do it
Thank you so much for the translation
That's one epic and a legendary way die.
Beautiful song of history, I shed many tears
It's so beautiful🙏💓
Thank you!
為何聽了會落淚😢
因为我们是中国人，也只有中国人才能懂歌词里的含义。
体内的能量在被唤醒
I'm crying 😭
Not a Chinese but I love this song ❤
情字難落墨，她唱須以血來和
Even i don't understand this language why am i crying 😢
🥰
The Japanese was so cruel at that time .
They brainwashed to believed their leader was a god just what North Korea is like today.
When I listen to this music I really miss my bf that he gone away
Datang sini lepas tengok orang buat pelita menggunakn lemak ikan....
🥺❤️🇨🇳🇨🇳
😂😂😂😂
情字難落“墨”🙂
