TGCF Donghua S2 Theme Song
the TGCF donghua team just released a gorgeous new theme song for season 2, and my sis and i made an attempt to translate it!
怜城辞 / The Ballad of Lian & Cheng by Lu Han
Waiting for news, tiring of the deep night
Waiting for dawn’s light, carving a city
Again and again, descending into the mortal world, overwhelming and ruining the masses
That stubborn gaze, who is waiting?
The tea is cooling, the dim night grows cold; the red umbrella shields from the marks of rain
Allow me to be more earnest in my faith
With a glance, Lian and Cheng were more than old acquaintances; centuries of striving could now finally be put to rest
Ask not who keeps watch for a lifetime
The flower and sword leave no marks; hang a round of bright lanterns high above
Silver butterflies drift into old dreams, ask not of life and death
Yet you are with me till journey’s end, through countless rounds of life’s ups and downs
I tacitly allow myself to sink into the chaos of love
The lamps flicker uneasily, shining a light on old memories
The night breeze flashes past, the person in red was easily distinguished
You alone disregard your safety to fearlessly dash ahead, accompanying me for a lifetime through life’s ups and downs
Melancholy is without reason, the heart’s worries are like wrinkles
The curse of the Star of Solitude couldn’t destroy your sincerity
Who was the one who ascended? Who was the one who went through strife, transforming into a nameless ghost?
Right and wrong are dangerous as a knife’s edge, and will wound.
