Jay Chou 亂舞春秋 | Luan Wu Chun Qiu | Chaotic Dance Spring Autumn Lyrics

那混亂年的年代

That chaotic era

朝庭太腐敗
chao ting tai fu bai
Government too corrupt

人禍惹天災
ren huo re tian zai
Calamities brought on by men caused natural disasters from above

東漢王朝在一夕之間崩壞興衰

Eastern Han Dynasty(1) collapsed and fell in the period of a day

九州地圖被人們切割成三塊分開

People dissected and split the map of China into three chunks

讀三國歷史的興衰

Read about the history of the rise and fall of The Three Kingdoms(2)

想去瞧個明白

Want to go take a look for a clearer understanding

看看看就馬上回來
kan kan kan jiu ma shang hui lai
Just taking a look and will come back immediately

ㄎㄧㄥㄎㄧㄥㄎㄧㄤㄎㄧㄤ
kieng kieng kiang kiang

刀劍棍棒我隨口講
dao jian gun bang wo sui kou jiang
Knives, swords, sticks, and clubs, I casually say

原來真有時光機這麼誇張
yuan lai zhen you shi guang ji zhe me kua zhang
It turns out there really is something as outrageous as a time machine

穿梭時空過癮又囂張
chuan shuo shi kong guo yin you xiao zhang
Travelling through time is fun but arrogant

萬一有去無回怎麼辦老實說有點緊張啊啊
wan yi you qu wu hui zen me ban lao shi shuo you dian jing zhang / a a
What if I go and cannot return, what to do, to tell the truth, I'm a little nervous, ah ah

江山我站在云端慢慢往中原方向
jiang shan wo zhan zai yun duan man man w___ zhong yuan fang xiang qian fang
Great state, I stand at the edge of the cloud, slowly traveling towards the direction of the Central Plains(3)

前方散落著村莊長安在兵荒馬亂
san luo zhe cun zhuang chang an zai bing huang ma luan
Scattered villages, Chang An(4) is amidst the chaos of war

望著天眼看北斗七星墜入地平線瞬間
w___ zhe tian yan kan bei dou qi xing zhui ru di ping xian shun jian
Looking at the sky, seeing the Big Dipper falling into the horizon momentarily

英雄豪傑猶如鬼魅般的出現我呸
ying xiong hao jie you ru gui mei ban de chu xian wo pei
Heroes appear as if they're ghosts. Bah!

誰服也不服誰我是龜你是鱉
shei fu ye bu fu shei wo shi gui ni shi bie
Nobody is satisfied with anyone, I'm a tortoise and you're a turtle

啦啦啦啦啦　啦啦啦
la la la la la la la la

These books have it all recorded, it's not me talking nonsense

等到東方魚肚白我再來跟你說嗨
deng dao dong fang yu du bai wo zai lai gen ni shuo hai
Wait till the East flops, then I'll say hi to you

嘴裡有刀說破歌謠
zui li you dao shuo po ge yao
With a knife in mouth, talk until the folk songs are worn down

千年恩怨一筆勾消
qian nian en yuan yi bi gou xiao
Grievances of a thousand years, canceled out with a stroke of a pen

生命潦草我在彎腰
