3. Lyrics Translation
Lyricist: Ding Yanxue, Jin Hezai, Fang Hao |
| 齐天 | Qi Tian |
|---|---|
| 日和月在重演 | Sun and moon are recurring |
| 谁号令齐天 | Who has commanded Qi Tian |
| 齐天断恩怨 | To let go of gratitude and grudges? |
| 爱与恨连成线 | Love and hate string together |
| 逃不出指间 | I cannot escape from the fingertips (of Buddha) |
| 指间天高远 | under the vast sky |
| 问一句生死因果 | May I ask, what are life, death, or karma? |
| 生我又是为何 | Wherefore was I born? |
| 既带我来如何不解我惑 | Why have you brought me forth Yet will not answer my doubts? |
| 道一声立地成佛 | You said: “Become a Buddha at this instant” |
| 是不是成了佛世间便没了魔 | If I become a Buddha Will there be no demons in this world? |
| 谁来告诉我 | Who can tell me? |
| 看风沙障日入目昏黄 | Look, the sandstorm blocked the sun and enveloped the world in dust |
| 天宫之上 | The moon above Heaven’s Palace |
| 那月亮和花果山上也没两样 | is no different from that above Mount Huaguo |
| 一战功成名扬 | I won my first battle with glory and fame |
| 换来天罗地网 | Yet you tried to catch me with inescapable nets |
| 你胜之不武我暗箭难防 | You won without honor I could not dodge hidden arrows |
| 不声不响错过多少霞光 | So many daybreaks have slipped away unnoticed |
| 结局和真相 | The ending and truth remain elusive |
| 一步两步 | as I tread forward |
| 张望不到前方 | Fragrance of peach blossoms |
| 梦里桃花香 | persists in my dreams |
| 多倔强却抵抗不了一出双簧 | Yet it can not resist your trickery |
| 黑白真相等天亮 | The truth of black and white is waiting for the daybreak |
| 是否能亲笔写上天生的擅长 | Can it directly write down your natural talent (for trickery)? |
| 三尖两刃出鞘 | Daggers and blades were out of sheath |
| 龙凤塌麒麟倒 | Dragons and phoenixes collapsed as kylins fell |
| 玉阶纷飞金箍摇 | Flight of jade steps shattered at the swing of my golden cudgel (Qi Tian’s weapon) |
| 再无岁月可回头 | There is no chance for regret |
| 千百年天地间只剩下这一棒 | Over a thousand years and in this universe Only my golden cudgel is left |
| 胜仗为何孤独收场 | Why have my victories ended in loneliness? |
| 梦里风在说着谁 | Whose name was whispered by the wind in my dreams |
| 我一句承让偏不认输 | I said, “Excuse me,” but there is no way I would admit defeat |
| 踏平南天意决众河山 | Treading across the Southern Heaven |
| 再望断天涯 | I sware upon mountains and rivers Till the end of the world |
| 是谁轻狂年少不枉 | Who was young and wild? |
| 谁给我个信仰 | Who could give me a belief? |
| 春未了月相照 | Spring had not ended The moon was shining |
| 有心打扰 | I wanted to bother you |
| 可惜风早相见不巧 | Unfortunately, the wind blew early I missed my chance |
| 天色刚刚破晓 | The dawn was just breaking |
| 紧箍还没做好 | The constricting headband had not been forged |
| 我还能微笑 | I can still smile |
| 爱恨忧怖成满眼迷雾 | Love, hate, worries and fear fogged my eyes |
| 十万雷霆轰动乾坤 | Thunders of thousands of soldiers shook the world |
| 却不能将我禁锢 | But they still could not confine me |
| 百万天兵纵横捭阖 | Millions of heavenly warriors advanced and spread |
| 也休想让我降服 | Don’t even think about my surrender |
| 这不是你能决定的胜负 | You cannot decide the victor of this battle |
| 一棒把天宫闹翻颠覆 | The Heaven’s Palace was turned upside down with one swing of my cudgel |
| 什么人命天定我说天命由心 | To hell with fate |
| 我说天命由心 | I choose my own destiny |
| 我要这山断不了来路 | I want these mountains to move away from my inroads |
| 我要这水挡不住归途 | I want these waters to part to make way for my returning path |
| 我要天地都为我让步 | I want heaven and earth to yield to me |
| 我棒尖一点山崩地裂 | The world shatters at the tip of my cudgel |
| 你拈花一笑落霞满天 | You picked up a flower with a smile, The sky was filled with dusk clouds |
| 哭过笑过爱过恨过痴过嗔过 | I once cried, laughed, loved, hated, obsessed and went mad |
| 有什么放不下 | What is left that I can not let go of? |
| 我要这荒诞的规矩 | I want these absurd rules |
| 当作个闹剧给结束 | to end as a farce |
| 乾坤下一朝进退石心两难 | One day, under heaven and earth, The stone heart (of Qi Tian) was caught in a paradox |
| 所谓虚无是同归来处的放逐 | The so-called “nothingness” is the exile at where we came from |
| 潮起潮落 | Tide rises and falls |
| 原来一无所有 | It occurs that “nothingness” |
| 就叫做齐天大圣 | is the so-called “Great Sage Equal to Heaven” |
