Wu Bie 无别 | Heaven Official's Blessing // Tian Guan Ci Fu Opening 天官赐福 | English cover

[@KumagorouBeam]

thinking about the novel im literally crying right now..... their love is soooo precious

[@kieranferrill]

I know, I'm totally in awe on how beautiful and cute they are. However, I'm wondering if Xie Lian is singing the song or San Lang. At first I thought it was Xie Lian, but now I'm having second thoughts.

[@LauraCoubert]

I know, right? Hualian is forever ingrained in the danmei community's heart XD

[@LauraCoubert]

​@@kieranferrill It happened the same to me when I was writing the English lyrics! I tried to keep it ambiguous since it it could go both ways in different parts of their lives. This adaptation though mentions the poem from Xie Lian's perspective, as a hint. :)

[@kieranferrill]

You can definitely hear Xie Lian's words in this song, just one of those things where you know the character is singing about his or her love.

So nostalgic and beautifully translated

[@LauraCoubert]

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you like it ^_^

[@leakhenachandymong740]

You're so good .I thought if someone had cover or sing in another language wouldn't be better ,but you done a great job.and I enjoy it.

[@LauraCoubert]

Thank you so much for your kind words!! I'm aware that a lot can be lost in translation and that adaptations in other languages are never the same, but I tried to make it as natural-sounding as I could. I'm glad that you like the result ^_^

I'm the audacious (or crazy) person who undertook to write a series of post-canon novels for TGCF. In other words, I picked up the pen when MXTX put hers down, and continue to imagine what happened in this world. Wu Bie is my favorite song from the soundtrack, but I don't know Mandarin beyond scattered words and phrases; I have to spend lots of time with songs and texts to look at lyrics and gain a sense of what they mean...and then with my bad memory, soon forget the specifics. This cover is really precious. It reminds me why we all devote so much to this fandom -- it is meaningful, beautiful, and tells a story that matters deeply to so many people who have lived with adversity and hope to overcome it. I too am a singer, and the sweet, clear quality of your voice, the delicate phrasing and careful attention to dynamics is a joy to hear. This song just went onto my favorites list and I thank you so much for recording it. You've made my day, and this is probably going to become my phone alarm for the next 5 years.

[@LauraCoubert]

That's a very ambitious endeavour! I totally respect that! I'm sure many fans will be happy to read a continuation of the story. Good luck with the writing! c: Your comment about my cover is just such a delight, OMG. You really put thought and observation, and I really appreciate that effort. I'm very happy that you enjoyed this cover and I hope that it'll stay with you (it's dedicated to the fandom, after all). Again, with luck with the writing and thank you!!!

Omigosh! Trying to get a song that makes sense fron the literal translations is so hard! Do you have any tips as I'm doing a live show in a few months and I really want to do this and several other songs I'm not confident about singing in the original language 🙈🙈 Your version is gorgeous BTW!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@LauraCoubert]

Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you like it ^_^ Here are some tips I try to follow when I'm adapting lyrics into another language. Maybe you'll find them useful: - First I spend some time mulling over the overall message of the song, trying to think of it as something abstract rather than the literal words; then I try to put the feeling/message of the song in the simplest way in the language I want to translate it to. This could help you avoid the mistake of trying to translate it too literally or trying to fit in all the original sentences that don't really fit, and don't sound good in your language. When you don't have too many syllabes per verse, it's better to keep it simple. - I note down some key words and themes (in this case, "butterfly", "the passing of time", "hope" and "awaiting reunion" were the keywords for this one). - Don't be afraid to take some liberties and get poetic. The accuracy of the translation doesn't matter as much as the feeling it conveys, so prioritize what sounds good and has a similar vibe. If you get stuck on a phrase, think about what the melody conveys to you, and ignore the original lyrics. - In languages like Chinese the grammar is very different than in English. If you know the particularities of that language (for exemple, Chinese songs like this one tend to be pretty poetic and transcendent, not too explicit or straight-forward), I would try to imitate that tone as much as possible. I hope it helps!! c:

Can you reply the lyrics to this comment I love

[@LauraCoubert]

Thanks! Of course :) They're also in the description of the video. ~ LYRICS ~ Red strings of fate hung in the blade of my sword cut away yet the promises remain I hold my cry butterflies fade into past flying high, over moons of no goodbye Wandering in the snow through the night that falls the love that never fainted keeps me warm As time passes by my white sleeves turn into gray Until we meet I’ll follow through this fate Farewell to those nights where I withered with the blooms Once again your sweet poem lights my heart If you walk away in this life of boundless paths every joy, every hope I hold will die Traced by a sword our entangled fate unveils who’s in love when the lantern fly away? Two turns to one Butterflies fade into past holding tears, waiting until we unite Petals fall like snow in the city’s glow the love that I believed in keeps me warm As time passes by my white sleeves turn into gray Until we meet I’ll follow through this fate Farewell to those nights Longing for the spring in bloom Once again your sweet poem lights my heart If I passed you by in this life of boundless paths every joy, every hope I hold would die Farewell to those nights Longing for the spring in bloom Once again your sweet poem lights my heart If you walk away in this life of boundless paths every joy, every hope I hold will die Take my hand we will never be apart
