Sound of the Desert Song Translation -The World I’ve Pacified For You

 

 (Video courtesy of Youtube – Bin Music)

This was by far my favorite song of the entire set. Head over to Suteki Da Ne for the Ending Song in Sound of the Desert! It’s poignantly hopeful and you can imagine the lonely solider who chose duty over love because of love. Here’s the translation:

为你平定的天下 (The World I’ve Pacified For You) – 李剑青 (Li Jian Qing)

Words By :五月天 阿信

Song By :李剑青

我不敢再看那月牙 – I dare not gaze at that crescent moon

像你温柔的眉高挂 – For it looks like your lovely brow, hung high in the sky

照映大漠思念无涯 – Shining over the great desert, my longing has no end

我不怨连年的争杀 – I will not blame the long years of desperate, bloody battles

只要有一天能回家 – As long as one day I can return home

尝一片和你安居的晚霞 – And taste a slice of contentment that comes from sharing the sunset with you

让我的臂膀 – Let my arms

变成你的城墙 – Be the city walls that protect you

如果我倒下 –  And if I fall

也相约在天堂 – let’s promise to meet in heaven

就让逆风的野望 – So let the contrary wind’s wild ambition

风干最后的泪光 – Dry the last trail of tears

直奔向 生死的前方 – And we resolutely head forward, towards life and death

让我的臂膀 – Let my arms

变成你的城墙 – Be the city walls that protect you

如果我倒下- And if I fall

就相约在天堂 – let’s promise to meet in heaven

因为我知道你也望着 – Because I know that you too are hopefully gazing

这月亮 等着我归去 – At the moon, waiting for me to come back

变成一座 守护着你的城墙 – To become the City Walls that can protect you

军令急如火星落下 – The General’s Command is as sudden as the rushing comet

思念也从不曾驻扎 – I have not stopped longing for you since

乱未平定何以为家 – War and destruction have become my peace and home

此一去胜负无定甲 – This war, no one knows who will win

孤军长驱祈连山下  – And lonely soldiers often go pray at Lian Mountain

马一跨 – The horse’s leap in battle

哪怕生命是代价 – can determine the cost of life or death

让我的臂膀 – Let my arms

变成你的城墙 – Be the city walls that protect you

如果我倒下 –  And if I fall

也相约在天堂 – let’s promise to meet in heaven

就让逆风的野望 – So let the contrary wind’s wild ambition

风干最后的泪光 – Dry the last trail of tears

直奔向 生死的前方 – And we resolutely head forward, towards life and death

让我的臂膀 – Let my arms

变成你的城墙 – Be the city walls that protect you

如果我倒下- And if I fall

就相约在天堂 – let’s promise to meet in heaven

因为我知道你也望着 – Because I know that you too are hopefully gazing

这月亮 等着我归去 – At the moon, waiting for me to come back

变成一座 守护着你的城墙 – To become the City Walls that can protect you

让我的臂膀 – So let my arms

变成你的城墙 – Become your city walls

如果我倒下 – And if I fall

就相约在天堂 – Let’s promise to meet in heaven

就算我血液变成红花般绽放 – And even if my blood turns into blooming red safflowers

就让我落在 – Let me fall

你的土壤 – On your soil

从此再也不流浪 – So I will never have to wander

就让我落在 – So I can exist

你的土壤 – On your soil

为你灌溉着希望 – And nurture all your hopes and dreams

让我的臂膀 – Let my arms

变成你的城墙 – Be the city walls that protect you

如果我倒下 –  And if I fall

也相约在天堂 – let’s promise to meet in heaven

就让逆风的野望 – So let the contrary wind’s wild ambition

风干最后的泪光 – Dry the last trail of tears

直奔向 生死的前方 – And we resolutely head forward, towards life and death

让我的臂膀 – Let my arms

变成你的城墙 – Be the city walls that protect you

如果我倒下- And if I fall

就相约在天堂 – let’s promise to meet in heaven

因为我知道你也望着 – Because I know that you too are hopefully gazing

这月亮 等着我归去 – At the moon, waiting for me to come back

变成一座 守护着你的城墙 – To become the City Walls that can protect you

等着我归去 轻轻献上 – Wait for my return, so I can silently give

为你平定的天堂 – The heavens that I have conquered for you
