White Fox Lyrics

白狐 (White Fox) by 陈瑞 (Chen Rui)
I am a fox with a thousand years of experience
A thousand years of experience; a thousand years of loneliness
In the depths of the night when people are still, some can hear me crying
Beyond the screen of the lantern's light, some can see me dancing

I am a fox that has waited for a thousand years
A thousand years of waiting; a thousand years of loneliness
In the turbulent red earth, who again planted the poison of love?
In the vast sea of people, who again drank down the drug of love?

When I loved you, you were poring over your studies by the frozen window
When I left you, you had already passed the civil service exam, had already married*

Can I dance for you one last dance?
I am the white fox you set free thousands of years ago
Watch how the sleeves of my robe float, how they float**
The promises of the sea and the vows of the mountain have become nothingness

Can I dance for you one last dance?
So you will have one last memory for when you leave
Watch how the sleeves of my robe float, how they float
The unending sky and the longevity of the earth have become nothingness
