传说中天与地连在一起 永不分离 |
Legend has it that heaven and earth were connected together and never separated |

勤劳的人们和那些神奇的动物生活在山洞里 啊咿 |
The hard-working people and those mystical animals lived in a cave, ayi |
|
下过雨的清晨 一束光照着树神 |
On an early rainy morning, a shining dryad1 |
|
远处传来隆隆的鼓声 |
from a distant place sent the rumbling of drumbeats |
|
沉沉的鼓声 阵阵震醒山洞里的人 |
Wave after wave of heavy drumbeats shook the people in the cave awake |
|
墙上的预言这就要发生 |
According to the prophecies on the wall, this would happen |
|
沙啦啦啦啦 伴着节奏急促的脚步 |
Sha la la la la, quickened footsteps following the rhythm |
|
沙啦啦啦啦 人们的心在跳 跳 |
Sha la la la la, people’s hearts jumping, jumping2 |
|
沙啦啦啦啦 金色公鸡带来了传奇 |
Sha la la la la, a golden rooster brings about the legend |
|
分开了天地 |
The parting of heaven and earth |
|
Ha li li ha li etc. |
Ha li li, ha li etc |
|
从那天起人们走出了山洞 |
Beginning that day, people walked out of the cave |
|
和山神和树神住在一起 |
and lived together with the oreads and dryads1 |
|
从那天起人们走出了山洞 |
Beginning that day, people walked out of the cave |
|
和大自然完美的在一起 |
and were perfectly together with Nature3 |
P.D: La traducción de superior se encuentra en: http://flipsongwords.blogspot.com, en dónde se pueden encontrar muchas más canciones traducidas ^^. Las anotaciones superiores de algunas palabras, se corresponden con anotaciones del autor, que incluyo aquí.
1. I’m choosing to translate the literal “mountain spirit and tree spirit” as oread and dryad because… I can? LOL. IDK, I always liked the “fairy” translation of xian too, rather than the more common “immortal”.
2. The word for heartbeat in Chinese is xintiao, “heart jump”, and the tiao can also mean dance. I think the insertion of the tense marker makes it more forceful and pushes it from “heartbeat” to “heart jump”.
3. Nature with a capital N. Like earth (soil) versus Earth (the planet). This is almost like Mother Nature, but without the personification of the English idiom.
