On this very spring night,
Wildly you drive
(Tonight arrives, like every night before )
(After sunset, the city with dreams begins to soar )
(Rain falls hard, reflections dance on the floor )
(He rolls the window down, the air’s a bit cold )
(Inside, a sadness that words can’t hold )
(The two of them know they’re about to part )
(The parting )
(In their hearts, they knew it from the start )
(He hits the gas, driving fast through the rain )
(Just like a movie scene )
(In the rearview mirror, their faces flicker with passing light )
(Neither of them speaks, lost in the night )
(In this moment, seems no words left to say )
(Just song after song, playing away )
To Wang Zhichao
On this autumn night,
Walking past streets vibing with light,
Today tonight
(Suddenly, he feels the world is surreal )
(Like he's dreaming, nothing concrete to feel )
(He seems to step out of his own character )
(Becoming just a pure spectator )
(And as a spectator, he ponders deep )
(From ancient times to now, when people part )
(Is it always the same feeling in the heart )
(Whether a hundred years from now or a century before)
(Facing all kinds of partings)
(Does the human heart)
(Feel any different, or is it the same evermore)
Thunder, lightning, stormy night
For a century, it stays the same.
Today tonight
(To Wang Zhichao)
"Have you forgotten how I appear
We studied together, books held dear
Four years we spent, from dawn till night
Thanks for your advice, always just right
Zhichao, you're the one who knows me best
Zhichao, you're my hope and my only quest
Wishing to be with you, never to part
Now I reflect on the past we shared
The past seems so vivid, right there
I remember that day, in the stormy night..."
(Excerpt "Zhichao Reads the Letter" from the Shanghai opera "Bi Luo Huang Quan")
