青花瓷 Green Flowerish Porcelain

I have always enjoyed listening to songs which use chinese traditional musical instruments. And recently i found one song which the whole song is sung based on the chinese traditional style, with beautiful lyrics and music. Listening to this song, somehow i can feel the gentleness and the beauty of the traditional Oriental...

青花瓷 Green Flowerish Porcelain

素胚勾勒出青花笔锋浓转淡　
瓶身描绘的牡丹一如妳初妆
冉冉檀香透过窗心事我了然　
宣纸上走笔至此搁一半

釉色渲染仕女图韵味被私藏　
而妳嫣然的一笑如i苞待放
妳的美一缕飘散　
去到我去不了的地方

Chorus
*天青色等烟雨　而我在等妳
炊烟袅袅昇起　隔江千万里
在瓶底书汉隶仿前朝的飘逸　
就当我为遇见妳伏笔

天青色等烟雨　而我在等妳　
月色被打捞起　晕开了结局
如传世的青花瓷自顾自美丽
妳眼带笑意*

色白花青的锦鲤跃然于碗底　
临摹宋体落款时却惦记著妳
妳隐藏在窑烧裡千年的秘密　
极细腻犹如绣花针落地

帘外芭蕉惹骤雨门环惹铜绿　
而我路过那江南小镇惹了妳
在泼墨山水画裡　
你从墨色深处被隐去

(Repeat Chorus)

The brush outlines a beautiful pattern, brush strokes becoming lighter. The peony on the bottle, simplest beauty, just like you .Whiffs of incense smoke bring your troubles to my heart. I pause halfway while painting.

The glazing of the lady’s portrait hides her charm. Your smile, to me, like a budding flower. But your beauty dissipates like smoke, to a place I can never reach.

The perfect shade of blue awaits the right weather, like how I wait for you. From a thousand miles away, I gaze at the curling chimney smoke. The calligraphy beneath the bottle, elegance of the Han Dynasty. Our meeting I foreshadowed.

The perfect shade of blue awaits the right weather, like how I wait for you. The moonlight smudged away the remnants of our ending. Like legendary porcelain obsessed with itself, your eyes full of laughter.

Those blue carp seem to come alive on the white bowl. While I am imitating the Song inscription I’m thinking of you. The eon of secrets you buried in the kiln. It’s exquisiteness like an embroidery needle.

The banana tree outside brought the sudden downpour, and in turn the copper rust on the door handle. My passing by Jiangnan brings me to you. Yet you fade away into the deep abyss of the Chinese painting.
