Xian Yun - English Lyrics
MDZS Donghua’s “WangXian”
I finally listened closely to this song yesterday and now it’s on repeat. As always, the story through Lan Wangji’s eyes never fails to break my heart and I couldn’t resist doing my own translation. I’m sure there are a million versions out there already and I offer yet another.
This is quite a quick translation so it’s subject to change. EDIT: pretty much re-translated now…
New and much improved: link
