月烬无声
Silent Moon

MingYe and Sangjiu - together

Lyrics: Ji Zhang Jingyi, Wang Yirong

Music: Liu Xuandou

Singer: Tiger Hu

每一对参辰

měi yí duì cān chén

Each pair of star-crossed stars*

*参辰/"Samchen" seems to be referring to the 参 star and the 辰 star, where one star is located in one direction, while the other is located in the opposite direction. Used as a metaphor for isolation from one another.

​

本是孤独的灵魂
běn shì gū dú de líng hún
Was once a lonely soul

​

辗转沉沦
zhǎn zhuǎn chén lún
Tossing, turning, sinking [in the cycle]

​

被情丝囚困
bèi qíng sī qiú kùn
Trapped by love thread

​

因果太深沉
yīn guǒ tài shēn chén
Cause and effect [karma] too deep

​

对聚散充耳不闻
duì jù sàn chōng ěr bù wén
Turning a deaf ear to the gatherings and dispersions

*people & relationships, things & cosmology

​

错在天意
cuò zài tiān yì
The fault is in heaven's will

​

判你我离分
pàn nǐ wǒ lí fēn
Who sentenced you and I to part
 
爱是成为你爱的人
ài shì chéng wéi nǐ ài de rén
Love is becoming the person you love

​

是爱你爱的苍生
shì ài nǐ ài de cāng shēng
It is loving the ones you love

The choice of words for "the ones you love" is significant. Basically means all life.

​

是非纷纷 不过问
shì fēi fēn fēn bù guò wèn
Right or wrong, won't ask

​

只将心囚困
zhǐ jiāng xīn qiú kùn
Would only take my heart and imprison it
 
月烬无声
yuè jìn wú shēng
Moon embers silent

​

笑深情痴蠢
xiào shēn qíng chī chǔn
Laugh at the crazy, dumb deep affection
Laugh at the ridiculous devotion

​

我孤身 遍寻你的残魂
wǒ gū shēn biàn xún nǐ de cán hún
Alone, I will search far and wide for the remnants of your soul

​

弥留的温存
mí liú de wēn cún
Dying warmth 

​

消融许过的余生
xiāo róng xǔ guò de yú shēng
Burn and melt the harsh past

​

心口铭刻
xīn kǒu míng kè
Inscribed on the chest 

​

是爱你的疼

shì ài nǐ de téng
Is the pain of loving you

​

也全意全身
yě quán yì quán shēn
It is also wholeheartedly

​

为你颠覆了形神
wéi nǐ diān fù le xíng shén
Subvert the soul for you

​

落雪无痕
luò xuě wú hén
Snow falling without a trace

​

我斑驳重生
wǒ bān bó chóng shēng
I was mottled and reborn

​

碎骨粉身
suì gǔ fěn shēn
Bones crushed, body turned to powder

​

花落一瞬
huā luò yí shùn
Flowers fall in a flash

​

梦不甘留我一人
mèng bù gān liú wǒ yì rén
Dreams not willing to leave me alone

​

喜怒哀惧恶欲恨
xǐ nù āi jù è yù hèn
Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, evil, desire, hatred

​

皆由爱延伸
jiē yóu ài yán shēn
It is all extended by love
 
月烬无声
yuè jìn wú shēng
Moon embers silent

​

清醒太残忍
qīng xǐng tài cán rěn
Clear-headedness is too cruel

​

你可曾 留恋我的深吻
nǐ kě céng liú liàn wǒ de shēn wěn
Did you ever miss my tender kiss?

​

你可曾 动情哪怕一分
nǐ kě céng dòng qíng nǎ pà yì fēn
Did your heart ever feel moved, even for a moment?

​

幽冥渡 多少执念皆枉付
yōu míng dù duō shǎo zhí ni àn jiē wǎng fù
How many obsessions of Netherworld are in vain

​

将心溺在时海荒芜
jiāng xīn nì zài shí hǎi huāng wú
Drown your heart in the desolation of the sea of time

​

碎骨粉身
suì gǔ fěn shēn
Bones crushed, body turned to powder

​

花落一瞬

Flowers fall in a flash

​

喜怒哀惧恶欲恨
xǐ nù āi jù è yù hèn
Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, evil, desire, hatred

​

皆由爱延伸
jiē yóu ài yán shēn
It is all extended by love
 
月烬无声
yuè jìn wú shēng
Moon embers silent

​

清醒太残忍
qīng xǐng tài cán rěn
Clear-headedness is too cruel

​

你可曾 留恋我的深吻
nǐ kě céng liú liàn wǒ de shēn wěn
Did you ever miss my tender kiss?

​

你可曾 动情哪怕一分
nǐ kě céng dòng qíng nǎ pà yì fēn
Did your heart ever feel moved, even for a moment?

​

你一人 生动整个凡尘
nǐ yì rén shēng dòng zhěng gè fán chén
You, one person, animated the entire mortal dust
You, one person, enlivened the entire mortal world

"凡尘"/"mortal dust" is synonymous to "mortal world", referring to the idea that mortal life is earthly, mundane, and transient.  This line is essentially saying: You are the ray of light that shone through the darkness.  You alone/,one person,/are the one who enlivened the entire mortal world. ~alsoSavedTheWorld
