青花瓷 by Jay Chou [周杰倫] (2023)

素胚勾勒出青花筆鋒濃轉淡　瓶身描繪的牡丹一如妳初妝
冉冉檀香透過窗心事我了然　宣紙上走筆至此擱一半

釉色渲染仕女圖韻味被私藏　而妳嫣然的一笑如含苞待放
妳的美一縷飄散　去到我去不了的地方

＃天青色等煙雨　而我在等妳　炊煙裊裊昇起　隔江千萬里
在瓶底書漢隸仿前朝的飄逸　就當我為遇見妳伏筆

＊天青色等煙雨　而我在等妳　月色被打撈起　暈開了結局
如傳世的青花瓷自顧自美麗　妳眼帶笑意

色白花青的錦鯉躍然於碗底　臨摹宋體落款時卻惦記著妳
妳隱藏在窯燒裡千年的秘密　極細膩猶如繡花針落地
簾外芭蕉惹驟雨門環惹銅綠　而我路過那江南小鎮惹了妳
在潑墨山水畫裡　妳從墨色深處被隱去

Repeat ＃,＊,＃,＊

The lyrics to Jay Chou's song 青花瓷 describe different moments where the beauty of a woman is compared to that of a piece of pottery. The first stanza describes how the strokes of a paintbrush on a vase are similar to the stroke of make-up on a woman's face. The second line implies that the woman is as beautiful as a freshly bloomed peony. The third line explains how the narrator can see through the woman's window and knows her thoughts because of the scent of incense. The last line talks about how the narrator is in the middle of writing a letter to the woman and stops midway because he can't hold back his feelings.

The second stanza compares the woman to a painting that is hidden away from the public eye. The narrator says the woman's smile is like a beautiful flower that hasn't yet bloomed. The chorus repeats the phrase "waiting for the blue sky and drizzling rain" which represents waiting for the perfect timing. The narrator is waiting for the woman he loves and he describes his feelings by saying that he is willing to write in old-style calligraphy just to meet her. The third stanza says the woman is like a painting of koi fish in a bowl – beautiful and hidden away. The last line refers to the woman as a secret that has been kept for thousands of years, delicate and hidden like a falling needle in embroidery.

Overall, the lyrics to 青花瓷 are a beautiful expression of Chinese art and poetry, using metaphors and imagery to describe the narrator's love for a woman who is portrayed as a work of art.

素胚勾勒出青花筆鋒濃轉淡　瓶身描繪的牡丹一如妳初妝
The outline of the blue-and-white porcelain is drawn with light and heavy brushstrokes, and the peonies painted on the bottle are as charming as your first makeup.

冉冉檀香透過窗心事我了然　宣紙上走筆至此擱一半
The fragrance of sandalwood slowly drifts through the window, and I understand your thoughts. I stop writing on the rice paper halfway through.

釉色渲染仕女圖韻味被私藏　而妳嫣然的一笑如含苞待放
The charm of the maiden in the painting is hidden by the mottled glaze, but your shy smile is as charming as a bud waiting to bloom.

妳的美一縷飄散　去到我去不了的地方
Your beauty drifts far away to a place where I cannot follow.

天青色等煙雨　而我在等妳　炊煙裊裊昇起　隔江千萬里
The blue sky waits for the rain, and I am waiting for you. The smoke rises from the chimney, separated by thousands of miles of river.

在瓶底書漢隸仿前朝的飄逸　就當我為遇見妳伏筆
Writing in seal script at the bottom of the bottle, imitating the elegance of the previous dynasty, as if I am writing down the moment I met you.

月色被打撈起　暈開了結局
The moonlight is lifted up, blurring the ending.

如傳世的青花瓷自顧自美麗　妳眼帶笑意
Like the world-famous blue-and-white porcelain, you are beautiful in your own way, with a smile in your eyes.

色白花青的錦鯉躍然於碗底　臨摹宋體落款時卻惦記著妳
The white and blue koi jumps on the bottom of the bowl, and while copying the Song dynasty calligraphy, I am thinking of you.

妳隱藏在窯燒裡千年的秘密　極細膩猶如繡花針落地
The secrets you have hidden for thousands of years in the kiln are as delicate as a needlepoint.

簾外芭蕉惹驟雨門環惹銅綠　而我路過那江南小鎮惹了妳
The banana tree outside the window attracts the sudden rain, and the door knocker attracts the bronze green. And I, passing by that southern town, have attracted you.

在潑墨山水畫裡　妳從墨色深處被隱去
In the splashed ink landscape painting, you are hidden deep in the ink.
