Qiang Jin Jiu ED《将进酒》ENGLISH COVER “Holding the wine cup” (QJJ Audio Drama)

I made an English cover for Qiang Jin Jiu’s ending song of the first Audio Drama season :D
Finally a song where I felt it was ok to bust out a vibrato that spans from heaven to hell and back hahahah
I just love doing this with my voice xD (and this seems to be more present in this type of Chinese music or also in Chinese Opera, please enlighten me if anyone knows more about this, non-Chinese sources are so hard to come by (´∀｀）)
Also this again was one hell of a writing process (´∀｀) The first verse came sooooo naturally and in a matter of seconds it seems but towards the end I really started despairing xD especially for this “outro” like part I could not for the life of me think of something, until I thought of and then settled for this “image”. There are probably some who will think it’s cute while others will wonder what on earth that cheesy sht is hahah anyway, I worked so long on this part that I have no idea what’s right and wrong anymore, but I really liked the mental image of Lanzhou calling his little wolf pup Ce’an to come rest with him at the end of day sooo ┐(´∇｀)┌

I also released my first own original song, if you’re interested please check out the MV:

lyrics:
Once an outcast, exiled from the world
Facing sorrows, with no place to return
Then one day the temple’s doors were opened for him
Stirring up deadly winds
So it begins
frozen seas and city walls alike
crossing rivers, going against the tides
there’s a beauty aloof and cruel that’s captured his heart
Tease and taunt, but you should know my true heart
so as to buy a smile from my beloved
Would a lifetime be enough?
Braving storms and thunder in the night
Fighting battles side by side
I’ll defy the heavens if I must to do you justice
History might mark this down
As our legacy forever
Veiled delights and quiet sighs
on this night
In these times of trouble you are near
all these sweet dreams hanging in the air
Could we make this spring breeze last eternally
Sharing wine, holding you tight by my side
You shall reside at the very top
Sheltered from all harm, my love
They’re revolting, raging back to back
Swords carried in clasped hands
They’ll defy the throne and take old elites down
History might mark this down
As our legacy forever
Veiled delights and quiet sighs
on this night
little pup, come here
lie down on this bed
next to me, get some rest
❤

Omggg just found your cover and 🛐🛐🛐🛐 thanks for this cover QJJ is one of my fave novels. I think QJJ is a masterpiece but sadly underrated.

[@LylinBloom]

Beautifuuuul 😍 Besonders die hohen Parts passen sehr gut zu deiner/einer weiblichen Stimme 🤗

[@alina_winkler]

Danke :) ja, beim Original hört es sich ja eher einfach kraftvoll an bei den höheren Parts, bei einer Frau ist das schon sehr "kopfstimmig" dann 😅 wusste auch erst nicht, ob ich das Lied transponieren (also tiefer von den Tönen machen) soll oder es so lassen soll wie es ist, aber wenn es dir gefällt, war es ja eine gute Entscheidung, es so zu lassen 🥰🥰🥰🙏

[@returntosoilgumiho]

Usually well always , a song is most beautiful in the language that it is sang and written originally for reasons lm sure everybody has an opinion on ---- You beautiful lady captured the attitude of chinese music in English better than l've heard before....now not to say l understand much about Chinese music,lm not Chinese and having not studied it all l can brag is understanding what it makes me feel when listening ,and l get that same feeling from your cover....at points of your song l forget that you're actually singing in English and listen to the rises and falls of your voice - the sharp high and sharp lows ....l mean if l were to have lived in those times l'd fancy myself one of those young scholars who spent their whole youth looking for the poetry in a leaf falling 🤔🤣🤣 ....thank you for this cover, l hope u continue and only get better

[@alina_winkler]

Thank you so much for your kind words!! I tried very hard to keep a little bit of the unique charm and mood the Chinese language conveys, so I'm glad you thought I managed to do that if only a little! 😍🙏 😘😘😘
