Dancing Siren (舞娘)

Dancing Siren (舞娘)

First released at the music show “Infinity and Beyond 2023 (声生不息宝岛季)” EP2 in 2023.
Then, in the second half of 2023, during the Mars Concert 2023 Stadium tour, Hua included fragments of this song in his cover songs medley.

1. About the song

Infinity and Beyond 2023” is a music program based on Taiwanese golden songs. Recordings were carried out in Changsha and Taipei at the same time, taking the time as a clue to comprehensively sort out the “Chinese Music Chronicle” with Taiwanese characteristics. Build bridges and bonds through literary and artistic works, continuously strengthen the common memory, emotion and consciousness of compatriots on both sides of the strait, and demonstrate the spiritual bond of Chinese culture.

In this program, Hua Chenyu chose to act like a producer rather than just a singer. He focused on helping other singers adapt songs and arrange performances, recreating the talent for adaptation that shocked Taiwan a few years ago in the music show “The Next”.

In EP2, Hua Chenyu collaborated with Taiwanese songstress Waa Wei and ?te, and sang an adapted version of Jolin Tsai’s masterpiece “Dancing Siren (舞娘)”. This was an amazing performance that cannot be expressed in words.

舞娘 Dancing Siren
Waa 月光放肆在染色的窗边 Unbridled moonlight is lighting up the colored windowsill
尘烟 魔幻所有视觉 The dust enchanted all visuals
再一杯那古老神秘恒河水 With another cup of the ancient and mysterious water of the Ganges
我镶在额头的猫眼点亮了庆典 The cat’s eye embedded in my forehead unveils the celebration
故事刻画在旋转的指尖 The story is depicted on the toe that spins
是谁在痴痴的追随 Who is following foolishly?
这一夜那破旧皇宫的台阶 On this night, on the steps of the dilapidated palace
我忘情抖落的汗水点亮了庆典 The sweat I shed with passion lights up the celebration
为爱囚禁数千年的关节 The joints that have been imprisoned for thousands of years because love,
正诉说遗忘的爱恋 Are now expressing forgotten love
听所有喜悲系在我的腰间 Listening to all joys and sorrows tied to my waist
让那些画面再出现 Let those scenes reappear
再回到从前 and return to the past
旋转 跳跃 我闭着眼 Spinning, jumping, I close my eyes
?te 尘嚣看不见 The worldly clamor is out of sight
你沉醉了没 Are you intoxicated?
Waa 白雪 夏夜 我不停歇 In white snow, summer nights, I do not stop
?te 模糊了年岁 Blurring the years
时光的沙漏 ,the hourglass of time
Waa, ?te 被我踩碎 is shattered by me
Hua, ?te 故事刻画在旋转的指尖 The story is depicted on the toe that spins
是谁在痴痴的追随 Who is following foolishly?
这一夜那破旧皇宫的台阶 On this night, on the steps of the dilapidated palace
我忘情抖落的汗水点亮了庆典 The sweat I shed with passion lights up the celebration
一层一层把我紧紧包围 Layer by layer, it tightly surrounds me
我要让世界忘了睡 I want to make the world forget to sleep
你的心事倒影在我的眉间 Your secrets are reflected in my eyebrows
放弃的快乐都实现 Let all abandoned happiness be realized
难过都摧毁 sadness be destroyed
Waa, Hua: 旋转 跳跃 我闭着眼 Spinning, jumping, I close my eyes
白雪 夏夜 我不停歇 In white snow, summer nights, I do not stop
旋转 跳跃 我闭着眼 Spinning, jumping, I close my eyes
白雪 夏夜 我不停歇 In white snow, summer nights, I do not stop
trio 所有喜悲写在我的眼前 All joys and sorrows are written in front of me
让那些画面再出现 Let those scenes reappear

Hua: 旋转 跳跃 我闭着眼 Spinning, jumping, I close my eyes
trio 白雪 夏夜 我不停歇 In white snow, summer nights, I do not stop
旋转 跳跃 我闭着眼 Spinning, jumping, I close my eyes
白雪 夏夜 我不停歇 In white snow, summer nights, I do not stop
?te 月光放肆在染色的窗边 Unbridled moonlight is lighting up the colored windowsill
转眼 魔幻所有视觉 In a blink of an eye, all visions are magically transformed
再一杯那古老神秘恒河水 With another cup of the ancient and mysterious water of the Ganges
我镶在额头的猫眼点亮了庆典 The cat’s eye embedded in my forehead unveils the celebration
Hua: 再回到从前 Return to the past again
Waa 再回到从前 Return to the past again
