Extract one of them: Phoenix Nirvana
Overture
In the sky as New Year’s Eve approaches,
a pair of phoenixes fly around,
Flying away with a mournful song,
Flying with fragrant wood branches in its mouth,
Flying on Danxue Mountain.
There are withered phoenix trees on the right side of the mountain,
There is a dead Liquan spring on the left side of the mountain,
There is a vast sea in front of the mountain,
< p>Behind the mountain there is a vast plain, and on the mountain there is an icy sky with biting winds.The sky is getting dusky,
The fragrant trees are gathering high,
The phoenix is ??tired of flying,
The phoenix is ??tired of flying, < /p>
Their death is near.
The phoenix pecks at the fragrant wood,
A spark of fire bursts out.
Phoenix fans fan sparks,
wisps of cigarettes rise up.
Phoenixes peck again,
Phoenix fans again,
The smoke on the mountain is diffused,
The mountain is filled with firelight.
The night is already dark,
the fragrant wood has burned,
the phoenix is ??tired of pecking,
the phoenix is ??tired of fanning,
Their death is near.
Ah!
Sad Phoenix!
The phoenix dances, low and high!
Phoenix singing, tragic and heroic!
The phoenix danced again,
the phoenix sang again,
a flock of mortal birds,
flew from the sky to watch the funeral.
Feng Ge
That’s it! That's it! That's it!
That’s it! That's it! That's it!
The vast universe is as cold as iron!
The vast universe is as dark as paint!
The vast universe is as filthy as blood!
Universe, universe,
Why do you exist?
Where are you from?
Where are you sitting?
Are you a finite empty ball?
Are you an infinite monolith?
If you are a finite empty ball,
The space that embraces you
Where does it come from?
Why is there life in you?
Are you still a living communication?
Are you still an inanimate machine?
With my head held high, I ask Heaven.
The disciples of Heaven are so arrogant that they don’t have any knowledge.
Bowing my head, I asked the ground,
The ground is dead, don’t even breathe.
I stretched out my head to ask about the sea,
The sea was raising its voice and singing (Kouyi).
Ah!
Born in such a filthy world,
Even a diamond sword will rust!
Universe, universe,
I will work hard to curse you:
Your filthy slaughterhouse filled with pus and blood!
Don’t mourn the crowded prison!
What a grave howling with ghosts!
This is the hell where you are surrounded by demons!
Why do you exist?
We fly to the west,
The west is also a slaughterhouse.
We fly to the east,
The east is also a prison.
We fly to the south,
The south is also a tomb.
We fly to the north,
The north is also a hell.
We are born in such a world,
We have no choice but to learn how the ocean cries.
Phoenix Song
That’s enough! Enough! Enough!
Enough! Enough! Enough!
Five hundred years of tears poured down like a waterfall.
Five hundred years of tears are as dripping as candles.
Endless tears,
The filth that cannot be washed away,
The passion that cannot be extinguished,
It cannot be shaken away The humiliation,
Where will we settle down in this ethereal floating life?
Ah!
Our misty floating life,
is like a lonely boat in the sea,
the left is also diffuse,
the right is also diffuse.
There is no lighthouse in front,
There is no coast behind,
the sail is broken,
the rafter is broken,
The raft has drifted,
The raft has rotted,
The tired boat is just moaning in the boat,
The angry waves are still there The sea is overflowing,
Ah!
Our misty floating life,
is like a deep dream in the dark night,
the front is also sleep,
the back is also sleep,
Come like the wind,
go like smoke,
come like the wind,
go like smoke,
Sleeping in the back,
Sleeping in the front,
We are just the wind and smoke for a moment in this sleep.
Ah!
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!
Only sorrow, trouble, loneliness, and decay remain,
surrounding our moving corpses,
penetrating our moving corpses.
Ah!
Where has the freshness gone when we were young?
Where has the sweetness of our youth gone?
Where has the glory of our youth gone?
Where has the joy of our youth gone?
Gone! Gone! Gone!
Everything is gone,
Everything is going to go.
We are going too,
You are going too.
Sad! Trouble! So lonely! Decline!
Phoenix singing together
Ah!
The fire was blazing.
The aroma is overwhelming.
The time has come.
The time to die has arrived.
Everything outside of you!
Everything in the body!
Everything!
Please! Please!
