This is also a theme song for the series [ Young Warriors of the Yong Clan 少年楊家將 ].



( The swords leaves the scabbard with a murderous swing, in a windy moon-less battlefield )
出鞘劍殺氣蕩   風起無月的戰場
chū qiào jiàn shā qì dàng    fēng qǐ wú yuè de zhàn chǎng

( A large number of soldiers charge alone, bodies carrying responsibilities of a good solider )
千軍萬馬獨身闖  一身是膽好兒郎
qiān jūn wàn mǎ dú shēn chuǎng    yī shēn shì dǎn hǎo er láng



( Men and women relationships, debt from previous life, )
兒女情前世帳
ér nǚ qíng qián shì zhàng

( your smile still lives, how can it be forgotten? )
你的笑活著怎麼忘
nǐ de xiào huó zhe zěn me wàng

( Tears from beautiful women, makes men heart broken, )
美人淚斷人腸
měi rén lèi duàn rén cháng

( this can take a man's life, being burned by rouge )
*Note: rouge refers to cosmetics; as women uses cosmetics.
這能取人性命是胭脂燙
zhè néng qǔ rén xìng mìng shì yān zhī tàng



( A farewell poem in two three lines, )
訣別詩兩三行
jué bié shī liǎng sān háng

( written on the road to March's spring rain )
寫在三月春雨的路上
xiě zài sān yuè chūn yǔ de lù shàng

( Only if I can carry an umbrella and walk by your side )
若還能打著傘走在你的身旁
ruò hái néng dǎ zhe sǎn zǒu zài nǐ de shēn páng

( A farewell poem in two three lines, )
訣別詩兩三行
jué bié shī liǎng sān háng

( who will sing for me while walking to my grave )
誰來為我黃泉路上唱
shuí lái wèi wǒ huáng quán lù shàng chàng

( If I can die by your side, this trip to the human world was not in vain )
若我能死在你身旁   也不枉來人世走這趟
ruò wǒ néng sǐ zài nǐ shēn páng   yě bù wang lái rén shì zǒu zhè tàng



Repeat ALL

Hi, it's good that you did this with translation and all the tones on the pinyin, but the chorus actually starts: jué bié shī, liǎng sān háng. That character's usually pronounced xing but pronounced as hang to mean a line. If you listen to the song again you'll hear that he is definitely not saying xing there.

@Anonymous: Thanks for mentioning it! I didn't do the pinyin, Google did :P I am only responsible for the English translations. It's my fault for not double checking it. I've made the appropriate corrections, thanks!

Well, I think, Google isn't wrong! That's because the trend with the 2 languages, Cantonese and Mandarin has influenced each other. More so Cantonese INFLUENCED Mandarin. It wasn't the last about 8-10 years when Mandarin speakers started to say 行 as "háng" instead of "xing".
Technically speaking, "xing" is the traditional way of pronouncing the word. Just that Google didn't adapt, or analyzed documents that has translated 行 as "háng".

Thanks for point that out! It's Google's fault, PLEASE don't make it seem like its the Blog Masters fault and accusing her of not listening to the song enough.
