Apologies for the hodgepodge mix of traditional and simplified Chinese, for those who can read the language. It's a little disorganized, I'll admit. I can read both well enough, but I usually just take from whichever lyrics source is convenient, so I've ended up with this. I hope it's not too much of a bother. Cheers, and have a good day!

**Edit (23/3/2020) - Note for usage of my work:
As people had asked me about it, I'll put it out here for clarity. I love to share my passion for these songs as well as Chinese history and culture, so feel free to use and share my translations as long as it is non-commercial and credits its source.
Though, once again, a disclaimer that my translation may not be as accurate as some might think, but I do try my best to balance accuracy with aesthetics. I'm truly honored if anyone thinks this is good enough to be shared, despite me basically using this blog as my sandpit to play and experiment with language. If this sparks interest in classical Chinese culture, as well as contemporary pop culture which derives from it, I'd consider it a win too. (More people like the stuff you like = bigger fanbase = more people to geek out with). So, stay awesome, and thanks for reading!
