神游长白山，
想借天池洗把脸，
再去会神仙。

My mind wanders there
In the white clouds I wash my face
And then meet the fairies


五千年演变，
正史野史轮流编，
赫赫阴阳间。

Through five thousand years
True story and false spread in turn
Fact at last appears



项羽想称霸，
心眼小杀了自己，
刘邦得天下。

He wanted to be King
But liked to go it alone
And let his foe enthrone


我要当鸟王，
乌鸦提高嗓门嚷，
笑坏了凤凰。

I want to be King Bird
The crow caws and croaks loudly
And Phoenix bursts out laughing


穿越五千年，
群峰当笔天作纸，
写出梦中诗。

Five thousand years passed
With peaks penning on the heaven
A saga that will last


在鹦鹉面前，
你咒恨主人的话，
千万别提名。

In front of a parrot
Do not speak ill of his master
But high of his merit


这个年头怪，
雾霾常常来逼债，
谁敢把门开。

It's been odd for years
That smog comes often to dun
Giving us only fears


笼子里老虎，
见到我本应狂啸，
却一声长叹。

The tiger in cage
Is supposed to roar with might
But he heaves a sigh


黄河一条龙，
腾云咆哮奔大海，
谁也拦不住！

Oh Yellow River!
A loong roars running to the ocean
No one can stop her



人间四月天，
百花开到人心间，
今天我是仙。

April of the earth
Flowers delight the heart and the eye
How I want to fly
