** Please turn on CC for English subtitles! ** This cover was commissioned by Syn -- thank you SO much for having me again!! ❤️ Making these translyrics was really a shot in the dark, but despite inevitably losing some of the nuance and poetry from the original chinese, I'm super proud of how they turned out! Especially being able to preserve the "oo" rhyme for every single line of the song :D Thanks so much for listening and let me know what you think! ❤️ **** 🌼 Find me at https://linktr.ee/sirhamnet 🎵 Stream https://songwhip.com/sirhamnet 💥 Commissions https://bit.ly/hamcommissions ✉️ Contact hampancake@gamil.com **** Original Credits: Music composition&Tuning: 水琴 Music arrangement: TOZZ Lyrics：孤簧 Illustration：酥妃/啊嘤/梨子/艾欧里亚/元小宵/Lolik/Sailex PV：Mars蓬莱人形/丧失花苗 Original upload: http://www.bilibili.tv/video/av737481/ **** English Lyrics You may use for non-commercial purposes with proper credit & link back to this vid. Please do let me know if you use them! :) Recall: the lanterns that line the moon Take note: the red lotus flowers dancing but for whom? Recall: the slate road that brings to view You with brush in hand, by the water blue Recall: red paint on the canvas blooms Every year, the same song and dance in reverence to you Recall: the bitterness of love once new With a brush in hand, by the water blue You were wearing your white suit, while I donned maroon Love had rendered me a fool; and I danced for you I craved more but hid the truth, while you stayed, unmoved With a brush in hand, by the water blue Again, my dance must rely on you The red lotus; now shedding tears yet words cannot come through Again, your silhouette dissolves from view With a brush in hand, by the water blue Who was wearing the white suit? Who had donned maroon? Who still sings that long-gone tune? Forbye who danced anew? Who craved more but hid the truth? Even as time moved on With brush in hand by the water blue? Ever brush in hand, by the water blue
