Chrysanthemum Terrace Cover

Hihi All

 

Its been a while since I posted any musical creations. I've been pretty depressed and stressed with work recently so I decided to lift my mood by covering a song by Jay Chou (Chinese Artist), sorry its not a KH song this time. The song's name is called "Ju Hua Tai" or "A bed of Chrysanthemum flowers" which is the ending theme to the film "Curse of the Golden Flowers".

 

I want to hope that i can return to youtube someday and bring tears of awe to your eyes with the magic of music.

 

Whether or not you like chinese pop, please do have a listen and I hope it somehow makes you happy or gives you inspiration -

 

The Piano and Vocals were both recorded live at the same time, the Violin track was recorded separately.

 

Chrysanthemum Terrace

 

I used to be a big Jay Chou fan back when I was a highschooler

 

Lyrics translation:

 

Your delicate tears glistened with hurt

like the pale curved moon hooked to the past.

As the long night forms into frost
I wonder who is in the attic despairing alone

 

Drizzling rain gently caresses the crimson window

Along with the wind which sweeps away my life like a stack of paper

The dream in the distance changes into a trace of fragrance
into with the wind, it fades with your silhouette

 

Chorus==========

The flowers scattered on the ground, your smile contrasting into hurt
Just as flowers fall, people get heartbroken - my silent anxiety

The north wind blows in the eternal night

Your wavering image cannot be pierced (?from my heart?).

Alone I am left once again, but our shadows dance on the lake surface

becoming a wondrous couple

 

 

Thanks for taking time to listen ~ Very appreciated :')
