I absolutely adore this song but OMG it was a pain to write lyrics for. None of the translation sources I found were consistently accurate so I went the old fashion way and asked my native family and friends to translate the song for me into English as literally as possible LOL. I'm proud of the results but it was certainly a journey to keep trying to fit an entire sentence into three syllables...
An artistic choice I'll note here, however, is the choruses' first line. For example, the first chorus is originally "一念花树绕香云, 一念随剑影".
"一念" (yī niàn) literally means "a thought", so it could be taken as "a thought about the flower tree that grows like smoke clouds; a thought about a sword's shadow", but I decided to keep it as a proper pronoun in my English lyrics as a reference to Yi Nian Bridge. As a result, the "flower tree" and "clash of swords" I write in my lyrics refer to the fight Xie Lian has with the Demon of Yi Nian Bridge in which both elements can also be connected back to.
There are so many other little pieces I had to cut out but I'll save you all from more rambles LO.

★LYRICS:
The shining glaze reflects Xian Le's prosperity.
A teen in white descends just like a bird from flight.
Like a wind-blown flower and a face like jade.
Broken rules, one flash, gone in one glance.
In the darkest nights hides numerous ghost green eyes.
Silver butterflies dance like stars in the sky.
Suddenly, they're following the trail to a sound.
Soon I'm walking there alone with moonlight shining down.
Yi Nian's tree full of flowers, Yi Nian's clash of swords.
Thunder brought with a blade that points to heaven's court.
This white spirit moves like stars our luck bestowed.
This one flower, one sword, one wish helping mortals.
Can't find homeland traces upon Mt. Tai Cang.
All that's left is sand from broken homes and walls.
Sickness spreads around now that prosperity is lost.
In this devastating war, the nameless ghost lives on.
Yi Nian's tree full of flowers cleaned by heavy rain.
Like a story in amber seen through heaven's gate.
Even when fog and clouds merge, they can't compare
To one flower, one sword, one man in the rain there.
Missing trees full of flowers, I still wait for you
Let the world laugh at me, I'll pray for life anew.
Tell the past to the future of how it bloomed.
With one flower, one sword, I'll spend my life with you.
On earth or in heaven, I'll give my life to you.
Every ost of tgcf: Hua cheng's telling all bt his beloved Xie Lian, and his love and devotion to him. 💞💖💗
We love to see it TTvTT
lian cheng ci is about xie lian and his perspective of hua cheng, which is now the opening for season 2
@@svnscythe Yes! I read the translation!! It's nice that they made the s2 op song about Hua Cheng in Xie lian's perspective 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Great for the Ghost Realm Arc hihihihihi
@@jaeni_conis it fits story wise too! cuz at that point in the story we see xie lian getting warmer around hua cheng and highly respects him. basically, for a good while in the book, xie lian just gushes about hua cheng and lian cheng ci is the emodiment of that 😂
You're pretty much the only one I know who carefully takes these Chinese dramas and convey their meaning in full in English. I really appreciate your efforts and I think you're doing a fantastic job!
alskdjf you're too sweet, thank you Rising! TTvTT
(I swear I'm getting to our FB collab soon, so sorry for the delay ;v;)
@@AirahTea No need to worry! I've been learning and discovering a lot on my own to prepare for it!
The mxtx author is quite talented in writing bl novels and only creating stories which brings out emotion . Like love , sacrifice , faith and so I love all here 3 novels are fantastic
Completely agree. So glad her stories are getting the publicity they deserve.
she revealed that she was work on a new novel called 'Green reapers have no day off
This is heavenly. The lyrics are well arranged
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it!
Honestly, I'm usually skeptical of English covers because half the time translation from one language to another doesn't flow quite so well in music so it feels strained and broken but you did absolutely fantastic! Omfg! You captured the the lyrics from the original beautiful in this cover it gave me goosebumps and I loved it! You did good! 👍
Ahh thank you so much!! I'm so glad the effort I put into the lyrics worked out and made it enjoyable for you TTvTT
Reading your description - so proud of all the thought and care you put into this and all your covers! And this impressive result is well worth it!!! Gorgeous as always, my friend!!! 💖💖💖
I always feel so much happiness knowing there are still people like you out there reading the comments LOL
This cover is everything, the lyrics are perfect and your ethereal voice fits the overall mood, I LOVE IT SO MUCH ;;;;;;;;;;; Thank you so much for this masterpiece!
alkdjfa you're too kind, thank you so much! QAQ
Wow, you do Chinese songs as well! Chinese is very dense--most words are one or two syllables. Impressive to make this flow correctly in English.
Oof, tell me about it XD I'm so glad you like it though! Thank you!
I can't think of any characters that are two syllables 🤔At least not in modern standard Mandarin.
I need to leave a comment so I can be reminded of this beauty
I can't stop myself from replaying it!!! This is perfection 😭😭😭😭😭
ahhhh thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoy it TTvTT
not me crying from nostalgia
i can read mdzs, erha, svss; i can watch woh.
but nothing will ever hit as hard as TGCF (and your english op cover)
aww thanks so much!!
This is extremely underrated, your voice is just amazing and the lyrics too, you deserve way more recognition 😭🤧
aww you're too sweet, thank you!
this is priceless (i'm having a difficult time rn then until i saw this on my notifications and somehow i feel light-hearted because of this thank you for this wonderful cover) waiting for the next season of the donghua
I send you tea and cookies, and really hope things look up for you soon ;v; I'll be here waiting for that second season as well oof
I literally gasp out loud my family looked at me crazy 😂 thank you for this beautiful piece I was always curious how an English adaptation would sound! You may the impossible🙏🙏 May dianxia and Hua-Chengze watch over you! Thank you for all the beautiful covers you do and for making my day better! 🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜😭
ahhhh I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thank you! TTvTT
LOL if your family ever needs an explanation, I'll be your witness ;) May our precious Dianxia and San Lang watch over you as well~

That was absolutely wonderful! Thank you.
Of course! Thank you for the support as always, Paul!
I watched three videos of the same song and its amazing how each artist tweeks and interprets the original chinese song. Good job!
Right?! I love listening to other artist's interpretation of the lyrics. I'm glad you enjoyed my cover, thank you!
A beautiful voice for a beautiful song. This is so amazing!
aww you're sweet, thank you! :D
@@AirahTea you're very welcome!
Both your voice and the lyrics you wrote are so beautiful😭😭❤️ as a bilingual, I LOVE ITTTT
Ahh thank you!! It was definitely a struggle to squeeze everything into English, so I'm glad you like it! ❤
Omg, I am all teary eyed. Thank you for your tremendous effort. Love HuaLian
aww, here, we have tissues here, don't worry
awh nice voice and translation I really like it~~ the ANIME IS SOOO GOOD
Wow I’m always amazed by your English covers
aww that's sweet of you to say, thank you!
@@AirahTea thank you for your covers!
Okay okay okay, what a beautiful coveeeeer, I love it!! Es demasiado bonitoooo, Thank u for your incredible job!!
Thank _you_ for the support! :D
You did an amazing job, I absolutely love it and very happy to hear that you did this with so much of effort and care. 💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕
Indeed, HuaLian 4ever
aklsdf thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :DD
This is soo beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! :D
I just came back here to say that I listen to this all the time and I never cease to be impressed by the way you did the lyrics, and very grateful for the painstaking care you took with it. I know it's hard to not only find words that emulate the original meaning, but also flow with the melody and even rhyme (which many covers don't). It matches so perfectly with that scene in the donghua and is the next best thing to understanding the Chinese. And of course your singing is great too! Awesome job and I want more HOB songs! Oh, and some Fruits Basket while you're at it haha!! Sending you some Ko-Fi!
I just noticed your Patreon. Are the songs downloaded from there higher quality (bitrate and such) than are posted here?
Thank you so much for such a heartfelt comment and the donation! :0 It made my day reading this!
I have the original files on my Patreon (usually .wav files which are higher quality than .mp3) but depending where you download the videos from, they're arguably the same lol
As beautiful as always, i can never expected less by u🥰🥰. Thank u for this beautiful master piece ❤️ plz continue🤗
And you're gracious with your comments, as always ;) Thank you for continuing to support me!
Big like 273 Airah👍Wonderful video...beautiful song
aww thank you! :DD
This is so underrated damn.. 🔥 this needs more appreciation.❤️
Thank you so much for saying so! :D
Wow great job!I wonder how much trouble you went through to translate this!🎉🎉
Chinese lyrics are usually one of the more challenging languages for me to write lyrics for but it's always worth it in the end! And a bonus if listeners like you enjoy it! :D
That one is also beautiful, you have a very good voice =3
You're too kind, thank you for saying so!
Wow this is absolutely perfect! I really enjoyed the cover
Thank you so much! :DD
soo soooo beautiful
omg ah you're a tgcf fan too
Indeed I am! :D
That's superb! Amazingly good!
AAAA ESTO ES ARTE 😭🥺❤️❤️❤️

I didn't expect it to be this good 😍🌺💞💞
Ahh I'm so glad you say so! :DDD Thank you!
I swear I'm obsessed

Omg, I'm crying...! I'm crying....!!!

Thousand autumns please 🙏
Ending song
I was screaming the lyrics in the shower and my mom had to knock on the door to see if I’m okay LOL
LOOOL the shower is the best place to sing - keep going! ;D
I cried when I heard this song as well as reminiscing about their story. Your voice is so beautiful and the english lyrics are so too, thank you for this song ❤️
I'm honoured you like it, thank you! :D
Omg so beautiful 😍
Thank you! :DDD
Hahaha honestly am not really into bl but seeing/watching Mo Dao Zushi and TGCF my views have changed~ the plot is really good, the story, the romance everything and its one of those novels with ending that is good(most authors screw up that part even though the story is good) and am really hooked in it. Strangely am not getting awkward watching them compared to other romance too mostly I stop watching because of too much cringe....huhu am putting a review here😆but actually though this song, lyrics, and cover portrayed the hidden meaning behind the song and so far this is my favorite English cover in TGCF don't have much imma give you hearts ❤💘~
and this song is pretty heavy for those who read the novel I even cried~ am not exaggerating btw.
I'm so glad you were able to give those two series a chance! The writer definitely put a lot of heart and thought into the writing so even if it was BL, I found the stories to be amazing on their own. Thank you for the support on my cover! I'm really happy you like it! :D
I have said it before, and I’ll say it again. You have a voice like an angle. I thank you so much for sharing your beautiful talents with the world.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌹❤️🌹
aww you're too sweet, thank you for the support!
Awwwwwwww it sounds so good in English took aaaahhhhhhgg 😭😭😭😭
ahhh thank you! :DDD I'm glad you enjoyed it
This is sooooo good can you do Shangri la from Soukyuu no Fafner
Thank youuu ;v;/
Your voice is so angelic and you make the high notes sound effortless! Keep up the good work ^w^
ahh you're too kind, thank you! :D
Thanks XD
Only one for the best. . .
♡HuaLian♡
Amazing Masterpiece.
Anyways I listened to another cover singer singing this in English and the lyrics were different.
Thank you for saying so! And yes! I love the other version out there as well. We all wrote our own version of English lyrics based on the original Chinese lyrics so it's nice that everyone has their own personal touch
Have you ever considered the memory of Chang’an opening?
Ooh, I can definitely look into it! The anime looks amazing!
😁
Is this song on Spotify ? It's so beautiful 😭
Unfortunately not D: It's because I used the original instrumental which is copyrighted. So I would have to recreate the instrumental if I ever wanted it to be on Spotify, but I don't have the funds for it right now :c Maybe one day - thanks for the interest!
I am soo happy that u did this cover !!! Omb did u watch the show??? How did u like it?!!
I _did_ :DDD I was stunned by the animation, ngl - everything was so beautiful TvT I need to go read the novel soon
You know what's more wonderful people who made cover of this song have different lyrics but all of their lyrics are beautiful just like your own cover it really beautiful 😭😁
I totally agree! I think that's the beauty of English covers, and I'm glad you think so too! Thank you for your kind words ^^
What to say, great job.
aha thank you LCC!
Perfect voice...love it..❤🔥 can u give covers for other ost of HOB & MDZS😘😍
Thank you very much!! I will definitely consider it
😍😍😍😍
Thank you! :DD Glad you're enjoying my covers!
Tian Guan Ci Fu ❤
Wow, you have amazing voice ❤❤❤
Can you try to make an english version for "Lian Cheng Ci"? It's TGCF ss2 OST 😭😭😭😭
Thank you so much! I'm working on it ;)
@@AirahTea omg, i'll wait for you!!!!
Gorgeous! Kudos to your family for helping out. I love translation (in my case from Japanese) but at times you really miss the mark unless you ask a native for help.
Definitely! I'm glad you appreciate it :D Thank you!
Can you do English cover of Catasthrope ost of goodbye my princess, please ?
Hello I’m from korea who loves tgcf, I want to cover korean.ver OFOS. So can I ask were can I get the inst?
It's the official instrumental, which should still be available on UA-cam somewhere! I just pitched up the instrumental to better match my vocal range :)
Another UA-camr posted an English cover for "No Parting," and said they'd watched yours. But I can't find yours! Is it still posted?
Oh! They did? :0 I haven't done a cover for that one yet actually but I plan to aha
@@AirahTea where is it where is it? :)
Before it gets hard to get your reply I will try to know before than others 😂😂
I will ask so many questions coz no one's here right now.
Will this ever be available on iTunes? 🥺
Not this one, unfortunately, since I used the original instrumental. But I can look into it!
is this song available on spotify?
Since I used the original instrumental, no unfortunately not ;v;
😫😫😣😫🤧😭😭😭😭😭😭🥺🥺tysm😭😭😭👌👌👌👌
aww thank _you_ :D
@@AirahTea ❤️
@Airahtea can I recommend you do a cover?
I think it'll be good if you did the pet girl of sakurasou opening, give it a try if you like because I bet it'll sound amazing
I'll definitely look into it! :D Thanks for the suggestion and for thinking of me!
@@AirahTea mhm! You are one of my favourite cover people
I request you make brave girls we ride in English.
ahah all these comments you dropped - don't worry, I try to respond to all of my comments (unless YT messes up and doesn't show them to me).
Thank you for the support! I'll consider your request and add it to my list.
@@AirahTea thank you, for response 😊😊
But still fate is my favourite 😊😊
Where are you from??
She's canadian.
Hi
hello!
Omg this was amazing! I teared up 😢. I found you from listening to your unsullied cover and let me just say how amazing you do at these covers. Your voice and the translation are beautiful! I’d love to listen to this song on Apple Music, is it not available there?
You're so kind, thank you! This cover specifically isn't on Apple Music unfortunately since I used the original instrumental. Maybe once I save up enough to commission my own instrumental of this I'll be able to publish a version onto streaming sites!
@@AirahTea ahh I see! And you’re welcome :). If you ever get the chance I will patiently be waiting!
