出仙山,望尘关,岁月长。
Immortal mountain behind, mortal land ahead, long years stretch longer still
步清涟,拂素裳,染梅香。
Clear ripples underfoot, pale robes drifting free, plum-blossom scent lingers on
置琴松石上,剑蕊凝寒光。
Guqin on stone, cold light in blade
问道心,扣弦吟,思量。
I question the Way, pluck strings and sing, pondering
听 悠悠天地间, 悲风过沉渊。
Listen, in vast lands the wind of sorrow sweeps
叹 世人缘生灭, 聚散须臾间。
Alas, mortal fates rise and fade in a flash
惟愿 执长剑,
I, long blade in hand
孤身入人烟。
Step alone into the mortal land
悯 芸芸众生 有情念。
My heart aches, as all hearts ache
是耶非焉, 道无言,梦大千。
Truth or illusion? The Way is silent, all is but a dream
今我流连, 浮光浅,照心鉴。
I linger still, faint light mirrors my true heart
与君问剑, 清万籁,荡玄天。
With you I test my blade, all falls silent, heavens stir
并肩回看 灯火翩,
Side by side, we look back at lanterns shining bright
蓦然见 长风昭人间。
And glimpse a world revealed by the long wind
听 潮生天地间,
Listen, the tide swells between heaven and earth
沧海覆桑田。
As boundless sea swallows fields of old
叹 谁掌缘生灭,
Alas, who governs fate, birth, and decay?
枯荣亦瞬间。
Both bloom and wither in a breath
借我 梦中眼,
Lend me eyes within a dream
细数 昙花现。
To count each epiphyllum as it blooms
任 茫茫逝水 渡旧年。
Letting the vast, passing waters carry the old away
是耶非焉, 道无言,梦大千。
Truth or illusion? The Way is silent, all is but a dream
今我流连, 浮光浅,照心鉴。
I linger still, faint light mirrors my true heart
与君问剑, 清万籁,荡玄天。
With you I test my blade, all falls silent, heavens stir
并肩回看 灯火翩,
Side by side, we look back at lanterns shining bright
蓦然见 长风昭人间。
And glimpse a world revealed by the long wind
