perfectlyimperfectHi there! It's been a while~
Today it's a lyric translation!
I don't usually post translations of lyrics as they're for my personal consumption only BUT Yuan's lyrics are so pretty and so fitting to the movie tie-in that I just had to share it! It pretty much nails on the "fated" theme of the story.
Notes: I don't know Chinese/Mandarin, so I did rely on Google Translate but used the Japanese translation, so it's like Mandarin -> Japanese -> English. I felt like it was lazy to do Mandarin -> English, and that it would make sense if I translated it to Japanese first. Anyway, enjoy!

縁 -YUÁN-
Snow Man
Lyrics: Hidenori Tanaka
Music: Marina Chisa
千年続く恋に落ちて
sennen tsudzuku koi ni ochite
I’ll continue to fall in love for a thousand years
運命は巡りめぐり それでも
unmei wa meguri meguri sore demo
Even as fate cycles through
永遠に我愛你 宙の果て
eien ni wo ai ni sora no hate
“I love you forever” to the ends of the heavens
赤い糸を手繰ろう (红线牵)
akai ito wo tagurou (hóngxiàn qiān)
We’ll pull the red string together (pull the red string)

This fated meeting of many times over, it’s destiny

koukai no kizu wo fusai de wa
Every night I tried to forget

Tears have flown endlessly
ふたたび 悔いは舞い戻った
futatabi kui wa maimodotta
Once again, the regret has come back
花散る季節 あなたを夢に見る
hana chiru kisetsu anata wo yume ni miru
A season of falling flowers, I can see you in my dreams
瞼 閉じるたびに深く

As I close my eyes tightly
心 捕らえる白き蛇

A white snake captures my heart
