Alan Lyrics

看 大江东去 浪花淘尽千古英雄
As I look at the great river flowing east, I see how it has swept away the fame of countless heroes throughout history.

笑 指点江山 是非成败俱灰飞烟灭
I laugh as I point out to the world that arguments over right and wrong, success and failure, will all ultimately fade away like smoke scattered by the wind.

此地一为别
This place marks our parting.

青山旧 雨初歇 豪情却 向谁说
The old green hills, which have barely dried off after the rain, cannot hear the passion within me; to whom can I speak it?

机遇难赊 东风且暂借
Opportunities are hard to come by, but I will borrow the temporary favor of the east wind to pursue them.

流年似水 足印难重叠
Time passes like water and once we step forward, we cannot turn back and recreate moments that have already passed.

赤壁难辨 风流云散处 只剩下当时明月
Amidst the indistinct remains of the Battle of Red Cliffs and its ended love affairs, the only thing left in memory is the bright moon of that moment.

枉海阔天空 故人不曾入梦 几度夕阳红 晚钟
Even though the sea and sky are vast, and old friends seldom appear in my dreams, there have been many sunsets and the sound of distant bells resound.

分久必合 合久必分 暂寄天地之间敌友难分
Separation will ultimately lead to reunion, but when the reunion happens, it will lead to another separation. In this transitory world, it is hard to distinguish between friends and enemies.

多情应笑我华发生 但为君故独沉吟至今
Some may scoff at how I am still sentimental even at old age, but it is all due to my devotion to you, which has led me to brood alone till today.

一时瑜亮 一壶酒 万古销沉
Beauty and passion remain for only a moment, but with a jug of wine, they will eternally endure.

人道是 分久必合 合久必分
As human nature goes, separation and reunion are inevitable.

和你终须一别 秋月春风残雪
We must inevitably part ways someday, just as fall carries the moon, spring, the wind, and the snow's remnants.

暂寄天地之间敌友难分
For now, let us live between heaven and earth, where it is difficult to tell friend from foe.

暂寄天地之间主客难分
For now, let us live between heaven and earth, where it is difficult to differentiate between host and guest.

但为君故独沉吟至今
But it is only for the sake of your love that I still brood alone till this day.

一时瑜亮 一壶酒 戎马一生
A moment's glory, a jug of wine, and the life of a warrior are all we get.

人生纵使一别 天涯共此明月
Though we may eventually part ways in life, we shall always share this bright moon under the same sky.
