不忘 (Bù Wàng) Lyrics English Artistic Translation

不忘 (Won’t Forget) by Wang Yibo 王一博  陈情令 The Untamed Lan Wangji OST  direct translation here

云深夜微凉  on a cool night in the Cloud Recesses,

皎月清风拂心绕 with heart touched by bright moon and gentle breeze,

一人对雪望 a lone figure gazes toward the snow

望尽前尘事过往 reminiscing upon past deeds

姑苏天子笑  Gusu’s Emperor’s Smile

埋雪独藏风华貌  lies alone beneath piled snow

静室琴声遥  the sound of guqin stirs Jingshi’s quiet

弹一曲问灵空回响  playing Inquiry to hollow silence

你还在问吗 are you still asking?

问尽古来世人的痴狂 examining the madness basking mankind’s history?

谁又在远方 and who’s shadow blurs the distance?

再问世间故人黑白毁誉几多量  still parsing the weight of words and black-white morality?

还能忘记吗  how can I forget?

云深共许一诺人茫茫 a bustling crowd in the Cloud Recesses, a promise shared upon our lips?

君又在何方 and where are you now?

相望不忘 towards you I turn, I cannot forget

泽世韵含光  “han-guang” sounds across the world

逢乱必出声名扬 a reputation of appearing where chaos swirls

他却不肯忘 yet he cannot forget

踏尽前尘事过往  treading through the dust of past regrets

避尘铮鸣响 Bichen’s blade rings clear 难避恩怨是非狂  the rights and wrongs of old sorrows hard to evade

静室琴声遥 the sound of guqin stirs Jingshi’s quiet

弹一曲问灵空回响 playing Inquiry to hollow silence

你还在问吗 are you still asking?

问尽古来世人的痴狂 examining the madness basking mankind’s history?

谁又在远方 and who’s shadow blurs the distance?

再问世间故人黑白毁誉几多量 still parsing the weight of words and black-white morality?

还能忘记吗 how can I forget?

云深共许一诺人茫茫 a bustling crowd in the Cloud Recesses, a promise shared upon our lips?

君又在何方 and where are you now?

相望不忘 towards you I turn, I cannot forget

你还在问吗 are you still asking?

不问古今世人的痴狂 not examining the madness basking mankind’s history?

谁又在远方 and who’s shadow blurs the distance?

难解世间故人黑白毁誉几多量 it is difficult to comprehend the weight of words and black-white morality

还能忘记吗  how can I forget?

看客散去唯你我不忘  others slip and fade, but you I cannot forget

与君在身旁 now you are within arm’s length

别来无恙  unchanged since we last parted

[orthogonals]
