Please answer
this question seriously – let's talk about this role

In other

谁先 心动 乱猜 真假 作假
shéi xiān xīn dòng luàn cāi zhēn jiǎ zuò jiǎ
Who was the
first one to waver, to haphazardly guess at reality, to throw feints?

Air pressure,
blood pressure – are the fluctuations real?
三生石旧精魂 话本 太多

jiù jīng hún huà běn tài duō
The old soul
on the shore with three lives[1] has too many stories
都有提过 哪一场鱼水之欢 不勾动天雷地火
dū yǒu tí guò

shuǐ zhī huān
bù gōu dòng tiān léi dì huǒ
And all of them talk about which joyous encounters between fish and water[2] didn't arouse thunder and fire

这段记忆 反复放 在哪部剧里
zhè duàn jì
yì fǎn fù fàng zài nǎ bù jù lǐ
Which drama
series are these memories continuously re-airing in?
满载荣誉 或溃堤 也没人代替

huò kuì dī yě méi rén dài tì
Whether it's
glory or shame, there is no replacement
谁不都是 沉浮在 舆论里

Everyone faces ups
and downs amidst public discourse
直到你 抓住了 岁月仓惶里重重转机

be merely operational, but sweet in reality

We interlock
hands for a century, slowly
familiarising, then keeping pace with it
就让每次相遇 变成甜蜜的回忆
jiù ràng měi
cì xiāng yù biàn chéng tián mì de huí yì
Let every encounter
become our sweet memory
[1] From 三生上石旧精魂 (sān shēng shàng
shí jiù jīng hún), an idiomatic phrase literally meaning
"An Old Soul On the Stone of Three Lives" from a poem by Yuan Jiao of
the same name.
[2] From the
Chinese 4-word idiom, 鱼水之欢 (yú shuǐ zhī huān), literally meaning
"joy between fish and water", metaphorically meant as a euphemism to
refer to sexual encounters between two people. The first word, yú, is also a
pun on the novel's main male lead, Liang Yu. I chose a clearer translation with
'encounter' to imply the innuendo more openly.
