lynh0630 Posted January 29, 2013 at 06:25 PM Report Posted January 29, 2013 at 06:25 PM Hi, Would anyone be able to translate this song into English for me? I tried plugging the lyrics into Google, but it's kind of mangled.. if I could get a more eloquent translation that conveys the feelings/meanings better, that'd be awesome!! I wasn't able to find a translated version on the WWW. Maybe it's speaking in an ancient style tone? I know what the Jiang Hu is, and it's talking about the Jiang Hu, but I'm not too sure what it wants to convey about it... >< Much appreciated!!

andysun731 Posted January 30, 2013 at 02:22 AM Report Posted January 30, 2013 at 02:22 AM Sometimes it's very difficult to translate poems and lyrics. Even if someone is proficient in both Chinese and English as well as east and west cultures, he may not find the exact words or sentences to express the same meaning and artistic conception. For example, 甄嬛传 is going to be remade and shown in America recently. The English version lines will be very hard work. Quote
lynh0630 Posted January 30, 2013 at 03:22 AM Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 at 03:22 AM Hi Andy, I agree with you. I'd settle with anything a little better than Google translation, if anyone doesn't feel embarrassed and could take a stab at it. ^^; Thanks for your input! Quote
