字字泣血的极乐坞英文歌《Blissful Haven》
Wind sweeps through Chang'an, a thousand miles of frost,
风过长安千里霜，
Who has turned the mortal realm into a temple of asceticism?
谁把人间作道场？
Beacon fires of a chaotic age obscure the moonlight,
乱世烽烟遮月光，
A century-old city wall turns into a graveyard.
百年城郭变坟场。
Yesterday’s golden cups and lingering songs have yet to fade,
昨日金樽歌未散，
Today, wild ghosts weep beneath the slanting sun.
今朝野鬼哭斜阳。
Mountain temples hold lamps burning ten thousand feet high,
山有佛堂灯万丈，
Yet they cannot illuminate the dark depths of human hearts.
照不透众生心肠。
Some kowtow, praying for a better next life,
有人叩首求来世，
While others gather bones to bury in the vast wilderness.
有人拾骨葬苍茫。
Take one step forward, And the underworld draws near.
行一步，黄泉近；
Take one step back, And there is no homeland left to return to.
退一步，亦无乡。
Looking back, only the coldness of an abandoned village remains,
回头只见荒村冷，
The lights of a million homes have all turned to ashes.
万家灯火已成殇。
Oh, Blissful Haven, oh Blissful Haven,
极乐坞啊极乐坞，
How many lives and deaths are buried in the wind and rain?
多少生死埋风雨？
How many grudges and favors turn to chilling frost?
多少恩怨化寒霜？
Oh, Blissful Haven, oh Blissful Haven,
极乐坞啊极乐坞，
Incense before the Buddha rises three thousand feet high,
佛前香火三千丈，
It ferries across all others, But can never heal its own wounds.
渡尽旁人，渡不了自己伤。
The monk strikes the bell, shattering the night,
和尚敲钟敲破夜，
The scholar dips his brush, writing out desolation.
书生落笔写凄凉。
Heroes drink their bitter regrets in blood on the blade's edge,
英雄饮恨刀头血，
Beauties hide their names behind the fragrance of wedding gowns.
红颜埋名嫁衣香。
The living walk the path of Asura,
活人走在修罗道，
While the dead still sing the tunes of yesterday.
亡魂犹唱旧时腔。
The spring breeze blows down the roads of Chang'an,
春风吹过长安路，
Scattering a young man's dreams like dust.
吹散少年梦一场。
We ask Heaven, but Earth stays silent,
天问地，地无声；
Ghosts ask the Buddha, but the Buddha hides away.
鬼问佛，佛亦藏。
If you ask whether the Way of Heaven truly exists,
若问天道真存在，
Then why do the common people always end up with broken hearts?
为何苍生总断肠？
Oh, Blissful Haven, oh Blissful Haven,
极乐坞啊极乐坞，
Millennia of tribulation fires cannot burn it away,
千秋劫火烧不尽，
Lonely souls weep across ten thousand miles of barren lands.
万里孤魂哭大荒。
Oh, Blissful Haven, oh Blissful Haven,
极乐坞啊极乐坞，
Watching the mortal world as mere passing travelers,
笑看人间皆过客，
Even white bones still cling to their old clothes.
白骨犹抱旧衣裳。
Who waits by the bridge for an old friend?
谁在桥头等故人？
Who guards an empty room in their dreams?
谁在梦里守空房？
Who stands outside the gates of reincarnation,
谁在轮回门外立，
Refusing to drink the Soup of Forgetfulness?
不肯饮下孟婆汤？
Oh, Blissful Haven, oh Blissful Haven,
极乐坞啊极乐坞，
Where is the ancient capital of Chang'an today?
长安故国今何在？
Only ruined ruins and lingering snow fill the mountain ridges.
故墟残雪满山冈。
Oh, Blissful Haven, oh Blissful Haven,
极乐坞啊极乐坞，
If you ask what the true Way of Heaven is,
若问苍天何为道，
Though all beings suffer in this world,
众生皆苦，
We must still live like a beam of light.
仍要活得像道光。
Snow falls, Old friends pass away,
风雪落，故人亡，
Generations of joy and sorrow are brewed into a jar of wine.
百代悲欢入酒缸。
The Buddha laughs, The ghosts sing,
佛在笑，鬼在唱，
A handful of yellow earth, a lifetime of absurdity.
一抔黄土一荒唐。
