青花瓷

素胚勾勒出青花笔锋浓转淡
sù pēi gōu lè chū qīng huā bǐ fēng nóng zhuǎn dàn
The brush strokes fade from deep to pale across the unfired clay

瓶身描绘的牡丹一如妳初妆
píng shēn miáo huì de mǔ dān yī rú nǐ chū zhuāng
Peonies painted on the vase, fresh as the day we met

冉冉檀香透过窗心事我了然
rǎn rǎn tán xiāng tòu guò chuāng xīn shì wǒ liǎo rán
Sandalwood drifts through the window, I already know what’s in your heart

宣纸上走笔至此搁一半
xuān zhǐ shàng zǒu bǐ zhì cǐ gē yí bàn
The brush pauses mid-stroke, leaving the thought unfinished

釉色渲染仕女图韵味被私藏
yòu sè xuàn rǎn shì nǚ tú yùn wèi bèi sī cáng
The beauty in the glaze is kept like a secret no one shares

而妳嫣然的一笑如含苞待放
ér nǐ yān rán de yī xiào rú hán bāo dài fàng
And your gentle smile is a flower on the edge of bloom

妳的美一缕飘散 去到我去不了的地方
nǐ de měi yī lǚ piāo sàn qù dào wǒ qù bù liǎo de dì fāng
Your beauty drifts away like smoke, somewhere I can never reach

天青色等烟雨 而我在等妳
tiān qīng sè děng yān yǔ ér wǒ zài děng nǐ
Celadon waits for the misty rain, and I am waiting for you

炊烟袅袅升起 隔江千万里
chuī yān niǎo niǎo shēng qǐ gé jiāng qiān wàn lǐ
Cooking smoke curls slowly upward, a thousand miles across the river

在瓶底书汉隶仿前朝的飘逸
zài píng dǐ shū hàn lì fǎng qián cháo de piāo yì
Han script is brushed along the base, echoing a dynasty’s grace

就当我为遇见妳伏笔
jiù dāng wǒ wèi yù jiàn nǐ fú bǐ
As if my whole life was a prologue written just to find you

天青色等烟雨 而我在等妳
tiān qīng sè děng yān yǔ ér wǒ zài děng nǐ
Celadon waits for the misty rain, and I am waiting for you

月色被打捞起 晕开了结局
yuè sè bèi dǎ lāo qǐ yūn kāi le jié jú
Moonlight is pulled from the water, bleeding into the ending

如传世的青花瓷自顾自美丽 妳眼带笑意
rú chuán shì de qīng huā cí zì gù zì měi lì nǐ yǎn dài xiào yì
Like timeless blue-and-white porcelain, beautiful on its own, you smile with your eyes

色白花青的锦鲤跃然于碗底
sè bái huā qīng de jǐn lǐ yuè rán yú wǎn dǐ
White scales, blue markings, a koi leaps alive from the bottom of the bowl

临摹宋体落款时却惦记著妳
lín mó sòng tǐ luò kuǎn shí què diàn jì zhù nǐ
I trace the Song dynasty script, but my mind keeps drifting back to you

妳隐藏在窑烧里千年的秘密
nǐ yǐn cáng zài yáo shāo lǐ qiān nián de mì mì
You are the secret that has smoldered in the kiln for a thousand years

极细腻犹如绣花针落地
jí xì nì yóu rú xiù huā zhēn luò dì
So delicate, like the sound of an embroidery needle touching the floor

帘外芭蕉惹骤雨门环惹铜绿
lián wài bā jiāo rě zhòu yǔ mén huán rě tóng lǜ
Banana leaves outside the curtain beckon the storm, the door ring gathers verdigris

而我路过那江南小镇惹了妳
ér wǒ lù guò nà jiāng nán xiǎo zhèn rě le nǐ
And I passed through that southern river town, and stumbled into you

在泼墨山水画里 妳从墨色深处被隐去
zài pō mò shān shuǐ huà lǐ nǐ cóng mò sè shēn chù bèi yǐn qù
In an ink-wash landscape, you slowly vanish into the deepening black

天青色等烟雨 而我在等妳
tiān qīng sè děng yān yǔ ér wǒ zài děng nǐ
