落叶堆积了好几层
Fallen leaves have piled up several layers
而我踩过青春 听见前世谁在泪语纷纷
And I tread through youth, hearing who in my past weeps in sorrowful words
一次缘分结一次绳
A fate ties a knot with every encounter
我今生还在等一世 就只能有一次的认真
In this life, I still wait for a lifetime, only to be serious just once
确认过眼神 我遇上对的人
Having confirmed our gazes, I've met the right person
我挥剑转身 而鲜血如红唇
I wield my sword and turn, while blood flows like red lips
前朝记忆渡红尘 伤人的不是刀刃
Memories from past dynasties cross through the worldly dust, it's not the blade that hurts
是你转世而来的魂
It's the soul of you, reincarnated and returned
确认过眼神 我遇上对的人
Having confirmed our gazes, I've met the right person
我策马出征 马蹄声如泪奔
I ride forth into battle, the sound of hooves reminiscent of tears streaming
青石板上的月光照进这山城
The moonlight on the stone slabs shines into this mountain town
我一路的跟 你轮回声 我对你用情极深
I follow you through the echoes of rebirth, my feelings for you run deep
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Hoh
洛阳城旁的老树根
The ancient roots beside Luoyang City
像回忆般延伸 你问经过是谁的心跳声
Extend like memories, you ask whose heartbeat has passed by
我拿醇酒一坛饮恨
I drink a jar of fine wine, drowning my regrets
你那千年眼神 是我醉醉坠入赤壁的伤痕
Your thousand-year gaze is the scar I fell into at Red Cliffs
确认过眼神 我遇上对的人
Having confirmed our gazes, I've found the one that's right for me
我挥剑转身 而鲜血如红唇
I wield my sword and turn, as blood flows like red lips.
前朝记忆渡红尘 伤人的不是刀刃
Memories of the past cross through the red dust; it's not the blade that hurts.
是你转世而来的魂
It's your soul, reborn and returned.
确认过眼神 我遇上对的人
With a glance we've confirmed, I've found the right one.
我策马出征 马蹄声如泪奔
I ride out to battle, the sound of hooves like tears rushing.
青石板上的月光照进这山城
The moonlight on the stone slabs shines into this mountain town.
我一路的跟 你轮回声 我对你用情极深
I follow closely, your echo from past lives; my feelings for you run deep.
确认过眼神 我遇上对的人
With a glance we've confirmed, I've found the right one.
我策马出征 马蹄声如泪奔
I ride out to battle, the sound of hooves like tears rushing.
青石板上的月光照进这山城 (whoa-whoa-whoa-oh, whoa, whoa-oh)
The moonlight on the stone slabs shines into this mountain town (whoa-whoa-whoa-oh, whoa, whoa-oh).
我一路的跟 你轮回声 我对你用情极深
I've been following your echo all the way, my feelings for you run deep.
我一路的跟 你轮回声 我对你用情极深
I've been following your echo all the way, my feelings for you run deep.
