Shan Shui Lyrics by Blood Ruby

0

By the wandering pines
Where the sun goes hiding
Swims a little green trout
With its shadow wallowing low
Through the wandering stream
With the stones' slick sliding
And my little fin feet seem to know
Where the water must flow

Wo deng, wo deng, wo deng
Shan shui

At the foot of the falls
Yellow footbridge leaping
To a narrow footpath
Where my footsteps following go
Past the little red roofs
With their corners sweeping
Into bristling pines
With their twisted branches of cones

The scroll unrolls
Under my feet
Where will this
Painted path of paper
Finally lead?
Everything pulses;
Everything is poised
This wildness wrestles
With its back
Against the void

The scroll unrolls
Under my feet
Where will this
Painted path of paper
Finally lead?

On a bluff clings the brush
Tiny tiptoes hanging
To the fissured-fist rocks
All upended and overthrown
And the pillars pile up
To the clouds' soft longing;
Though the ladder grows steep
My feet keep climbing the stone

Wo deng, wo deng, wo deng
Shan shui

Wo wang le zi ji
Gen wo lai han shang leng qi

The scroll unrolls
Under my feet
Where will this
Painted path of paper
Finally lead?
Everything pulses;
Everything is poised
This wildness wrestles
With its back
Against the void

The scroll unrolls
Under my feet
Where will this
Painted path of paper
Finally lead?
