Xiao Na (笑纳) - Fang Lai (方来) | English cover
Holding an umbrella to catch the falling flowers, is that person you...? 🏮
This is an English cover of Xiao Na (笑纳 Xiào Nà), based on the popular chorus version by Fang Lai (方来) and originally sung by Hua Tong (花僮).
I wrote these English lyrics to capture the romantic longing and atmospheric, ancient-style (Gufeng) beauty of the original. I hope it brings you peace today.
👇 Lyrics:
[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
Lanterns light the busy town aglow
An old wise man paints the scene below
Greeting friends beneath the silver sky
Sudden breezes make the petals fly
Summer nights with friends are passing by
Markets fade but we don't say goodbye
Starlight scatters on the branches high
Horses kick up dust into the sky
[Chorus]
Petals falling down
Seek the western wind again
Who will stay until my head turns gray
Is it you I pray
Hidden in the mountains deep
Play a pipa song to sleep
Let me paint your beauty in my art
Keep it in your heart
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Petals falling down
Seek the western wind again
Who will stay until my head turns gray
Is it you I pray
Whispers echo in the night
Worldly stories hold me tight
Night winds chill but candles cast a glow
Take this half-moonlight
Before I go
[Interlude]
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
[Verse 2]
Lanterns light the busy town aglow
An old wise man paints the scene below
Greeting friends beneath the silver sky
Sudden breezes make the petals fly
Summer nights with friends are passing by
Markets fade but we don't say goodbye
Starlight scatters on the branches high
Horses kick up dust into the sky
[Chorus]
Hey, petals falling down
Seek the western wind again
Who will stay until my head turns gray
Is it you I pray
Hidden in the mountains deep
Play a pipa song to sleep
Let me paint your beauty in my art
Keep it in your heart
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
Petals falling down
Seek the western wind again
Who will stay until my head turns gray
Is it you I pray
Whispers echo in the night
Worldly stories hold me tight
Night winds chill but candles cast a glow
Take this half-moonlight
Before I go
