alkakurei_my_world | 生生世世不分离 (Paper Bride OST)

Originally sung by 喵☆酱 | Miāo☆Jiàng

→ 山青青呀，路漫漫
The mountains are green, and the road is long
→ 妹妹我唱歌儿给情郎呀，给情郎
Sister, I’m singing this gift to my lover, a gift to thee
→ 我俩似鸳鸯，心相印呐
We are like mandarin ducks, hearts inseparable for life
→ 一生一世不分离
In this lifetime to the next generation, we won’t be apart

→ 烟迢迢呀，水迢迢
Smoke can be seen from afar, as well as the running stream
→ 妹妹我一直在等情郎
Sister, I’ve been waiting for my lover after all this time
→ 我俩似蝶儿，双双飞
We are like butterflies, forever flying side-by-side
→ 一生一世不分离
In this lifetime to the next generation, we won’t be apart

→ 夜长长呀，盼情郎
The night is still long, as I wait for my beloved
→ 妹妹我泪眼湿透了衣裳
Sister, my clothes are soaked after crying so many tears
→ 我俩似鱼水，情意深
We are like fish in water, our love boundlessly deep
→ 生生世世不分离
In this life to the next, we won’t be apart

→ 人生呀，离别难
Oh, life, it’s hard to utter out a goodbye
→ 妹妹我不求富贵和荣华呀
Sister, I seek neither wealth nor glory
→ 但愿与情郎，长相守
I only hope to stay with my beloved forever
→ 生生世世不分离
In this life to the next, we won’t be apart
→ 生生世世不分离

» Qíngláng (情郎) is a term that means “lover”, but the word itself is used almost exclusively for secret love/affairs.

» Yuānyāng (鸳鸯) are mandarin ducks, a species of ducks that is often believed to be life-long spouses. It’s used as a metaphor for love in modern day; in the old days (like, Ancient China-days), yuānyāng is used as a metaphor for sworn brothers, as in loyalty.
