Lyrics & Translation

“靈魂的共鳴” (Resonance of Souls) by JJ Lin is a captivating fusion of Mandopop and classical music, featuring world-renowned pianist Lang Lang. This song offers a rich linguistic and cultural learning experience through its poetic lyrics that explore themes of destiny, artistic pursuit, and the timeless search for a kindred spirit. Its intricate blend of traditional Chinese imagery and Western classical motifs, particularly the integration of Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini," makes it a truly special piece for language learners to delve into, appreciating both its lyrical depth and musical innovation.

[English]

Awakening at dawn in ancient Egypt, the Pyramid listens to you

I tame the Sphinx, guarding love

Turning around and falling into the smoke signals of the Great Wall, you are the legend behind the fortress

I'm conquering and seeking my soulmate

Innate talent can't be bought, nature's selection is ruthless

Reality treats us harshly, only persistence can hold on until now

After thousands of years, the fate of success or failure has already been decided by the music notes

Bodies will eventually decay, but our presence will be immortalized

Sacrificing to welcome dawn, to resonate with the soul

Reincarnating through centuries, no matter how far

Awakening the hearts that do not cry

Closing my confused eyes, I hear the resonance of the soul

You can't hide my joy, and you respond happily

This transcendent symphony

...

Who is leading the Renaissance? You play the most exquisite music

I sing the opera of dreams, echoing the Phantom

Traveling through millions of galaxies in an instant, you are an immortal star

Armstrong will be my courage to offer

Mourning the world's silence, a boy plays loneliness

Reposted from Magic Mirror Lyrics

Who is still singing? Who is still singing?

Who is still singing a song

He smiles without arguing, he observes without fighting

His fingers never stop, because dreams haven't collapsed

Sacrificing to welcome dawn, to resonate with the soul

Reincarnating through centuries, no matter how far

Awakening the hearts that do not cry

Closing my confused eyes, I hear the resonance of the soul

You can't hide my joy, and you respond happily

This transcendent symphony

I hear the resonance of your soul

Reincarnating through centuries, no matter how far

Awakening the hearts that do not cry

Opening my eyes again, I see the resonance of the soul

Unbearable scars, woven into the symphony of fate

A heart that cannot transform is incomplete

...

[Chinese]

醒在古埃及的黎明 金字塔聽從你

我馴服人面獅身 鎮守愛情

轉身跌進長城狼煙裏 你是鎮關的傳奇

我在攻城掠地 尋找知音

天賦無從販賣 物競天擇淘汰

現實殘酷對待 堅持才能ㄍ一ㄥ到現在

萬年後的成敗 音符早已定案

身體終會腐壞 寫下不朽的存在

用犧牲換來黎明 迎接靈魂的共鳴

輪迴幾個世紀 再遠的距離

喚醒不哭泣的心

關上迷惘的眼睛 聽見靈魂的共鳴

關不住我的樂隱 你也痛快的回應

這超時空的交響曲

文藝復興誰在引領 你用絕世琴音

我用夢的歌劇 唱響魅影

瞬間穿梭百萬銀河系 你是不滅的恆星

阿姆斯壯會是我 獻上勇氣

哀悼世界沉默 男孩彈奏寂寞

轉載來自魔鏡歌詞網

誰還唱著 誰還唱著

誰還唱著歌

他微笑不去辯駁 他觀察不去爭鬥

他手指沒有停過 因為夢想沒有崩塌

用犧牲換來黎明 迎接靈魂的共鳴

輪迴幾個世紀 再遠的距離

喚醒不哭泣的心

關上迷惘的眼睛 聽見靈魂的共鳴

關不住我的樂隱 你也痛快的回應

這超時空的交響曲

我聽見你靈魂的共鳴

輪迴幾個世紀 再遠的距離

喚醒不哭泣的心

再次睜開我眼睛 看見靈魂的共鳴

抹不去傷的痕跡 交織命運的交響曲

沒有蛻變不了的心
