祭刘欢侠
Ode to Hero Liu Huan
(Cue Camel Bell, Dao Lang, Crooked Moon.
The sharp neigh of a horse, like the entrance in Teacher Liu Lanfang's storytelling of the Legend of Yue Fei.
Accompanied by the lingering vibration after a sword is drawn from its sheath.
The main melody rises, A Laugh in the Sea.
The arrangement is ancient zither, xiao flute, guzheng, and drums.
Paired with some faint piano chords.
Agile, light, ethereal.
It has the chicness of dancing with a sword, and the madness of playing and singing.
That is the voice of Teacher Han Lei and Teacher Tengger.
Vast, expansive, mighty, melodious.)
The sea laughs, farewell Great Hero, the good men of the Water Margin, have all arrived.
Heaven knows, earth is also aware, your lofty aspirations, have truly been fulfilled.
Heaven, Earth, Man (Cue GAI's singing style)
You, me, him
Laugh, laugh, laugh
(The music style turns melodious, the rhythm slows down, the music slowly quiets down.
Heaven and earth in my heart, just like the chill of sending off a comrade-in-arms.
The instruments change to huqin, erhu, violin.
Add a little yangqin, xylophone, Western harp, and the grand harp from the Odyssey.
Bring in some electric guitar, plucking out that vocal run, plucking out that lingering tone.)
The melon is ripe, do you, do you know, your music, it will not, will not grow old, accompanying us.
(Suddenly turns impassioned. Bass drum, trombone, cello, double bass. Melodious, rousing, heroic.)
When that sunlight, steams up once again, you must come back, come back, and roar.
Sing~ (The first sound is high-pitched) Sing~ (The second sound is melodious) Sing~ (The third sound is soft, with a vocal run, vibrato, and the ripple of vibrato on strings.
The words are not connected, dragging out a long lingering echo.)
We, will sing, together (Gentle, lyrical, calm, no regrets, to our hearts' content)
Sing to our hearts' content
