Shan Shui Lyrics - Singles - Blood Ruby

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?
