《蓮語》 (The Lotus Dialogue) [Lively's Part 001]

[Intro - 90s Hi-NRG Eurodance Techno, and dream House, 4/4 beats] [Glittering Synth arpeggio] [All Chinese is in Beijing Dialect] [Verse 1: Female Mezzo Soprano in E Minor Vocal ONLY, all Chinese in Beijing Dialect] Oh, my beloved 清風, I know that you are right, I'll be the lotus, As you said. I expect this will be a very challenging day, All the Bullies will start trouble, Everyday my life is toil, Every day is another hardship. I also still must work, Surely my coworkers now know, They'll look at me very differently, Even while in my uniform. I cannot un-be who I am, But, I had to be true to myself, I had to dedicate myself to the greater good, These projects were worth my time. 熙兮吾靈,荼浸庸津 濁淤其下,玄幽無根 清風之言,善哉吾心 必從爾教,為水中琛 [Pre-Chorus: ] How true it is, But, we must be our best, And strive to be more, To surpass all we were yesterday, And know how far we could go. 中有芙蓉,暗蘊其神 不染不妖,亭亭自貞 擢秀淖表,綻華清氛 實結珠連,芳澤周鄰 [Chorus: Female ] 為蓮若此!超越垢塵! 吾將奮之!吾將馳之! 為蓮若此!超越垢塵! 剛不可折!柔不可欺! We'll stay on this journey, We'll see it through, We'll stay dedicated, Steadfast, tried & true. There are things greater than ourselves, There are matters greater than even our own ambitions, There are aspects of ourselves within us, That are even greater than ourselves. [Verse 2: Female ONLY Vocal] [Female - soulful] I will reach, [Female - soulful] I will strive, [Female - soulful] I will go the distance, [Female - soulful] I will be my very best. [Female - soulful] I will not falter, [Female - soulful] I will not break, [Female - soulful] I will be strong, [Female - soulful] I will be flexible. [Female - soulful] I will see things through to the end. [Female - soulful] I will reach further than I thought I could, [Female] I know I will make it, because I strive. [Female - soulful] I know I will endure, because I've already gotten this far. [Female] 然今之役,艱虞必臨 [Female] [Female] 頑童伺隙,日課苦辛 [Female] 同僚側目,雖服異衿 [Female] 真吾豈遁,道在獨任 [Pre-Chorus: ] How true it is, But, we must be our best, And strive to be more, To surpass all we were yesterday, And know how far we could go. 中有芙蓉,暗蘊其神 不染不妖,亭亭自貞 擢秀淖表,綻華清氛 實結珠連,芳澤周鄰 [Chorus: Female ] We'll stay on this journey, We'll see it through, We'll stay dedicated, Steadfast, tried & true. There are things greater than ourselves, There are matters greater than even our own ambitions, There are aspects of ourselves within us, That are even greater than ourselves. 為蓮若此!超越垢塵! 吾將奮之!吾將馳之! 為蓮若此!超越垢塵! 務終其緒,視遠如邇! [Bridge: Male Vocal & Female Vocal Duet] (Male) 勿以俗尺,度爾靈山 (Male) 有師傳道,有龍在側 (Female) 謝爾妙諦,慰此煩襟 (Female) 天下洶洶,幾人知音? [Verse 2: Female ONLY Vocal] [Female - soulful] Thank you for your wisdom, [Female - soulful] Thank you for your guidance. [Female - soulful] I needed to hear this. [Female - soulful] All the world is madness. [Chorus: Female] We'll stay on this journey, We'll see it through, We'll stay dedicated, Steadfast, tried & true. There are things greater than ourselves, There are matters greater than even our own ambitions, There are aspects of ourselves within us, That are even greater than ourselves. 為蓮若此!超越垢塵! 吾將奮之!吾將馳之! 為蓮若此!超越垢塵! 所懷者大,豈惟己願? [Outro: Male & Female Fade] 偕行此途...共志一心... 砥節礪行...匪石弗轉...
