Carried by the sounds of guqin, xiao, guzheng, pipa, erhu and ceremonial tanggu drums, the song journeys through ancient mountains, poppy fields, tea terraces and the first light of dawn. “Cloud and flame entwine… and all creation sings.” English translation [Verse 1] Clouds awaken beyond the mountains, the wind unfolds their robes of jade. A dragon’s shadow crosses a thousand peaks, bearing spring rain down to the mortal dust. Fire blossoms in the heart of a flower, phoenix feathers light the ancient towers. Every backward glance… becomes a rebirth, as dawn returns along the road of night. [Pre-Chorus] Water circles stone; fire embraces wind, heaven and earth meet within a breath. Tender light upholds the boundless blue, while steadfast courage guards one lamp within— [Chorus] The dragon moves—clouds rise! The phoenix dances—fire is born! One rests, one stirs; together they illumine heaven and earth. Yin guards the moonlight; Yang calls the morning bell, two streams of radiance flowing through the mountains and rivers. CLOUD—FLAME! RISE—AS—ONE! Cloud and flame entwine… and all creation sings. [Post-Chorus] Ah— cloud and flame entwine. Ah— all creation sings. [Verse 2] I leave the silent courtyard for the endless sky, my sweeping skirts awaken ancient winds. A noble steed breaks open seas of flowers, and mountains answer the bell within my heart. Jade-green dragon patterns shimmer in the spring, golden phoenix feathers skim the palace eaves. One step in stillness, one step bold and brave— I carry a new dawn before my eyes. [Pre-Chorus] Let rain bring life; let fire bring light. Let night and day turn round and meet. All things possess a tender, shining edge; side by side, we write ourselves new names— [Chorus] The dragon moves—clouds rise! The phoenix dances—fire is born! One rests, one stirs; together they illumine heaven and earth. Yin guards the moonlight; Yang calls the morning bell, two streams of radiance flowing through the mountains and rivers. CLOUD—FLAME! RISE—AS—ONE! Cloud and flame entwine… and all creation sings. [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Fire borrows a shower of rain from the clouds; clouds borrow a ribbon of sunset from fire. The moon sinks into blue water; the sun climbs the cliffs— two kinds of light spiral into one flower. The dragon writes far horizons into the rivers; the phoenix tempers old dreams into brocade. Heaven and earth turn slowly… and all things find their freedom when they meet— [Final Chorus] The dragon moves—clouds rise! The phoenix dances—fire is born! One rests, one stirs; together they illumine heaven and earth. Yin guards the moonlight; Yang calls the morning bell, two streams of radiance flowing through the mountains and rivers. CLOUD! FLAME! RISE! AS ONE! Cloud—and—flame—entwine! Mountains and rivers answer; all creation sings! [Outro] Clouds return to the mountains; fire returns to the lamp. Shadows of dragon and phoenix settle into the morning wind. Still waters harbor thunder; the great wind bears the flame. Beneath a single sky… all things give life to one another.
