Ye Yan Legend of the Black Scorpion AKA The Banquet
|
| 00:01:00 |
907 AD, China |
| 00:01:02 |
the once mighty empire of the Tang Dynasty |
| 00:01:06 |
has fallen into ruin |
| 00:01:11 |
Rebellion has spread across the land |
| 00:01:13 |
and its insurgents |
| 00:01:16 |
have proclaimed their own kingdoms |
| 00:01:18 |
This is the period known as |
| 00:01:21 |
the "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms" |
| 00:01:25 |
It was an era plagued by widespread turmoil |
| 00:01:28 |
treachery amongst government officials |
| 00:01:31 |
and a bitter struggle for power |
| 00:01:33 |
within the imperial family |
| 00:01:36 |
Against this backdrop |
| 00:01:37 |
our story begins |
| 00:01:42 |
What blessed night is this? |
| 00:01:55 |
Drifting down the River Qian |
| 00:02:07 |
What auspicious day is this? |
| 00:02:21 |
Dreaming beside my prince |
| 00:02:31 |
A tender affection has blossomed between |
| 00:02:34 |
the maiden Little Wan |
| 00:02:37 |
but his father, the Emperor, |
| 00:02:40 |
Desperate, Prince Wu Luan disappears |
| 00:02:43 |
into the Southern heartlands |
| 00:02:46 |
seeking solace in the art of music and dance |
| 00:02:50 |
Three years later |
| 00:02:52 |
Prince Wu Luan's uncle has killed his brother, |
| 00:02:55 |
and usurped the throne and the Empress |
| 00:02:59 |
Empress Wan secretly sends her messengers |
| 00:03:02 |
to warn Prince Wu Luan of the assassination |
| 00:03:06 |
But she is unaware |
| 00:03:07 |
the new Emperor has already |
| 00:03:11 |
to prevent Prince Wu Luan's return |
| 00:03:14 |
Trees live on mountains |
| 00:03:32 |
My heart lives for your heart |
| 00:03:44 |
but you do not see me... |
| 00:03:49 |
From her Majesty the Empress |
| 00:03:53 |
to Prince Wu Luan |
| 00:03:58 |
Our country has suffered a great loss |
| 00:04:00 |
Your father, the Emperor, has passed away |
| 00:04:03 |
Your uncle has usurped the throne |
| 00:04:05 |
Return at once on receipt of this |
| 00:04:16 |
Father... |
| 00:07:42 |
This helmet does not sit well on you |
| 00:07:45 |
To call Your Emperor "you" is not appropriate |
| 00:07:48 |
The correct address is "Your Majesty" |
| 00:07:53 |
It is hard for me to adapt so quickly |
| 00:07:56 |
Brother-in-law |
| 00:08:13 |
Indeed this is not a good fit |
| 00:08:16 |
I shall have a new one made |
| 00:08:29 |
The kingdom shall not wait |
| 00:08:49 |
Seal the door |
| 00:09:19 |
Sister-in-law |
| 00:09:25 |
The correct address is "Empress" |
| 00:10:33 |
Your brother should not have trusted you |
| 00:10:41 |
The death of the late Emperor |
| 00:10:43 |
had nothing to do with me |
| 00:10:47 |
Is the Crown Prince still alive? |
| 00:10:55 |
Sister-in-law seems very concerned |
| 00:10:58 |
I am his step-mother after all |
| 00:11:00 |
He is 4 years older than you are |
| 00:11:05 |
Brother-in-law is familiar with the way |
| 00:11:18 |
Not just your make-up |
| 00:11:21 |
but also the way you enter your bath |
| 00:11:33 |
Will brother-in-law let the Prince go free? |
| 00:11:41 |
Will you let my hand go free? |
| 00:15:23 |
This theater is under |
| 00:15:25 |
Stay your swords now |
| 00:18:45 |
Your servant Qing bows before Your Majesty |
| 00:18:47 |
Your Majesty |
| 00:18:49 |
Is this the red you had chosen? |
| 00:18:52 |
Hang it up |
| 00:19:04 |
This material |
| 00:19:06 |
was originally intended |
| 00:19:09 |
for your wedding to the Prince |
| 00:19:14 |
However |
| 00:19:15 |
it is now used in my coronation |
| 00:19:21 |
Why did you run all the way here? |
| 00:19:24 |
When I was summoned to the inner court |
| 00:19:26 |
I thought perhaps the Prince had returned |
| 00:19:29 |
I was just about to ask you |
| 00:19:30 |
Have you not heard from the Prince? |
| 00:19:35 |
He never writes to me |
| 00:19:38 |
Then how do you communicate? |
| 00:19:41 |
Through dreams |
| 00:19:44 |
I dream of him every night |
| 00:19:47 |
And we talk to each other |
| 00:19:51 |
Did you dream of him last night? |
| 00:19:53 |
Yes |
| 00:19:55 |
What did he say to you? |
| 00:19:58 |
He told me not to eat too much sweets |
| 00:20:01 |
But then he also said |
| 00:20:03 |
young girls tend to like sweet things |
| 00:20:04 |
it is not really a bad habit |
| 00:20:09 |
I also used to like sweet things |
| 00:21:06 |
Brother-in-law really knows |
| 00:21:12 |
How do I compare with my brother? |
| 00:21:17 |
The late Emperor was a wise and valiant man |
| 00:21:21 |
You mean to say |
| 00:21:24 |
he was not very adept at pleasing you |
| 00:21:26 |
No... |
| 00:21:29 |
When he was willing |
| 00:21:32 |
he could be exceptionally virile |
| 00:21:37 |
But he was not often willing |
| 00:21:40 |
Am I right? |
| 00:21:43 |
The tug between power and love |
| 00:21:45 |
has tormented past emperors for centuries |
| 00:21:53 |
You do not seem to be tormented |
| 00:21:58 |
Before tonight everything was simple |
| 00:22:02 |
I cared only for my kingdom |
| 00:22:09 |
But after tonight |
| 00:22:16 |
when there is you, sister-in-law |
| 00:22:23 |
what need do I have of a kingdom? |
| 00:22:28 |
You certainly know how to flatter a woman |
| 00:22:32 |
I speak from the heart |
| 00:22:37 |
Why don't you give away the throne |
| 00:22:40 |
so we can retire to the woods |
| 00:22:45 |
What do you think? |
| 00:22:48 |
Sister-in-law |
| 00:22:51 |
do you want me killed? |
| 00:22:55 |
I was only teasing |
| 00:23:00 |
If it is my life that you want |
| 00:23:02 |
you can have it |
| 00:23:05 |
You can have everything that is mine |
| 00:24:12 |
Your Highness |
| 00:24:15 |
My father... |
| 00:24:17 |
How did he die? |
| 00:24:20 |
They say that |
| 00:24:22 |
while he was taking his afternoon nap |
| 00:24:23 |
he was stung by a scorpion |
| 00:24:29 |
There are scorpions in the palace? |
| 00:24:33 |
They say you can find everything in the palace |
| 00:24:38 |
Who are "they"? |
| 00:24:41 |
The people who live there |
| 00:24:45 |
Including her? |
| 00:24:48 |
She is about to be crowned Empress again |
| 00:24:51 |
By whom? |
| 00:24:53 |
Your uncle |
| 00:24:56 |
the new Emperor |
| 00:25:43 |
Wu Luan |
| 00:25:44 |
Yes |
| 00:25:47 |
You worried me to death |
| 00:25:48 |
Empress Mother |
| 00:25:57 |
You sound a little hoarse |
| 00:26:01 |
Why are you wearing such a strange mask |
| 00:26:04 |
and a battered old sword case? |
| 00:26:07 |
What has happened to you? |
| 00:26:09 |
This is a question |
| 00:26:11 |
I should be asking you |
| 00:26:17 |
What have you heard? |
| 00:26:21 |
Did I come back |
| 00:26:23 |
to grieve for my father |
| 00:26:26 |
or to congratulate my step-mother? |
| 00:26:28 |
Do not use such a cruel tone of voice |
| 00:26:30 |
against a helpless woman |
| 00:26:33 |
I have sacrificed more than enough |
| 00:26:35 |
for you and your father |
| 00:26:37 |
But |
| 00:26:38 |
my father's spirit |
| 00:26:39 |
still wanders restlessly outside the palace gate |
| 00:26:51 |
Empress Mother |
| 00:26:53 |
Look into my eyes and tell me |
| 00:27:04 |
Did my father |
| 00:27:06 |
really die |
| 00:27:09 |
from the sting of a scorpion? |
| 00:27:19 |
Wu Luan |
| 00:27:25 |
The pain in your eyes |
| 00:27:28 |
breaks my heart |
| 00:27:32 |
Don't ask so many questions |
| 00:27:35 |
Don't think too much |
| 00:27:38 |
Promise me? |
| 00:27:40 |
The best way to soothe your father's spirit |
| 00:27:44 |
is to make sure we are both safe |
| 00:27:47 |
Especially you |
| 00:27:53 |
Your Majesty |
| 00:28:02 |
Forgive me |
| 00:28:05 |
My shabby clothes |
| 00:28:08 |
have soiled the Empress' bathrobe |
| 00:28:45 |
Show me what is inside your sword case |
| 00:29:20 |
The sword of the Yue Maiden |
| 00:29:26 |
best suited to close combat |
| 00:29:44 |
I only use it for paper cutting now |
| 00:30:19 |
When your father first taught us swordplay |
| 00:30:22 |
you were always the better pupil |
| 00:30:40 |
Is this your work? |
| 00:30:43 |
These are the words of a song from Yue |
| 00:30:46 |
Can you sing it for me? |
| 00:30:48 |
It is about a Prince sailing down a stream |
| 00:30:51 |
and the rowing girl falls in love with him |
| 00:30:54 |
She sings this song |
| 00:30:58 |
So it is a love song |
| 00:30:59 |
No |
| 00:31:01 |
it is a song about loneliness |
| 00:31:03 |
You can sing to your young friend Qing |
| 00:31:06 |
She would not understand |
| 00:31:08 |
No one can really understand another person |
| 00:31:11 |
If we did |
| 00:31:12 |
we would not feel so lonely |
| 00:31:16 |
When your father allowed you |
| 00:31:20 |
I was against the idea |
| 00:31:23 |
To me, a man should not be |
| 00:31:25 |
a lonely musician |
| 00:31:26 |
a product of warm hills and soft streams |
| 00:31:30 |
A proper man is a prince |
| 00:31:33 |
who rules over his kingdom |
| 00:31:35 |
with strength and courage |
| 00:31:39 |
That is only your idea of a man, |
| 00:31:42 |
But you have responsibilities |
| 00:31:45 |
They're bestowed upon you |
| 00:31:48 |
passed on to you by your ancestors |
| 00:31:50 |
expected of you by your people |
| 00:31:59 |
Hasn't my uncle assumed |
| 00:32:03 |
He... |
| 00:33:17 |
His Majesty has commanded me |
| 00:33:21 |
You have allowed the Prince to slip away |
| 00:33:25 |
insulting His Majesty with your incompetence |
| 00:33:27 |
What do you suggest you should do? |
| 00:33:35 |
We shall offer up our lives as penance |
| 00:33:39 |
Very good |
| 00:33:41 |
Your families will be spared |
| 00:33:45 |
We thank his gracious Majesty for his lenience |
| 00:34:49 |
Clean the bridge |
| 00:35:16 |
This palace is falling to ruin |
| 00:35:20 |
The late Emperor was a thrifty man |
| 00:35:23 |
but I am not going to suffer the way he did |
| 00:35:26 |
Pave the ceiling |
| 00:35:28 |
with flowers in gold leaf |
| 00:35:32 |
Yes, Your Majesty |
| 00:35:34 |
May I enquire |
| 00:35:37 |
should the central pillar be painted in vermilion |
| 00:35:41 |
or ink black? |
| 00:35:45 |
Vermilion is the color of blood |
| 00:35:48 |
and gold represents glory |
| 00:35:50 |
Which glorious dynasty |
| 00:35:53 |
has not been forged with blood? |
| 00:35:56 |
Minister Yin |
| 00:35:57 |
Your Majesty |
| 00:35:58 |
I envy you |
| 00:36:01 |
for having such a personable and astute son |
| 00:36:04 |
gifted in both cultural and military affairs |
| 00:36:07 |
Unlike my nephew |
| 00:36:09 |
your Crown Prince |
| 00:36:12 |
who only knows to sing and dance |
| 00:36:18 |
If Your Majesty does not like |
| 00:36:21 |
it can be replaced at once |
| 00:36:28 |
I like it |
| 00:36:32 |
When it snows |
| 00:36:35 |
this creature stays inside |
| 00:36:40 |
When the sun comes out, |
| 00:36:45 |
it knows about changing with the weather |
| 00:36:48 |
This is a clever beast |
| 00:36:52 |
May your servant suggest that |
| 00:36:53 |
a tiger would be even more appropriate |
| 00:36:56 |
According to the Book of Change |
| 00:36:57 |
a great man descends from a tiger |
| 00:36:59 |
a gentleman from a leopard |
| 00:37:01 |
Your majesty is a great man |
| 00:37:03 |
The tiger has an appropriate air of majesty |
| 00:37:05 |
Governor Pei Hong of You Province |
| 00:37:08 |
Your Majesty |
| 00:37:11 |
Why are you silent? |
| 00:37:13 |
I was thinking, perhaps |
| 00:37:15 |
this snow leopard should be gifted |
| 00:37:23 |
Why is that? |
| 00:37:25 |
Because he too knows how to change |
| 00:37:38 |
Governor Pei's suggestion is excellent |
| 00:37:42 |
We shall bestow on Minister Yin |
| 00:37:47 |
My deepest gratitude to Your Majesty |
| 00:37:50 |
As for a replacement... |
| 00:37:52 |
let it be a tiger then |
| 00:37:55 |
Better still, carve a flying dragon |
| 00:38:07 |
Long live Your Majesty the Empress |
| 00:38:13 |
Your servant Pei Hong |
| 00:38:16 |
bows before the Empress Dowager |
| 00:38:38 |
Governor Pei greeted the Empress |
| 00:38:44 |
Did you all hear that? |
| 00:38:47 |
Yes |
| 00:38:51 |
What does this signify? |
| 00:39:08 |
Nobody dares speak? |
| 00:39:12 |
Then let me explain |
| 00:39:17 |
The late Emperor has ascended |
| 00:39:19 |
if the Crown Prince succeeds the throne |
| 00:39:22 |
the Empress will become |
| 00:39:26 |
Thus, I am the usurper |
| 00:39:30 |
Have we understood you correctly, |
| 00:39:35 |
No wonder you are a respected scholar |
| 00:39:38 |
With three words |
| 00:39:44 |
you have rearranged the hierarchy of the court |
| 00:39:50 |
According to our ancestral customs |
| 00:39:52 |
the Emperor kneels to the Empress Dowager |
| 00:40:00 |
But the Empress kneels to the Emperor |
| 00:40:13 |
Are you the Empress Dowager? |
| 00:40:17 |
Or the Empress? |
| 00:40:20 |
Should I kneel? |
| 00:40:23 |
Or should you? |
| 00:40:27 |
Please advise us |
| 00:40:29 |
Which is the correct procedure? |
| 00:40:43 |
Your humble consort kneels |
| 00:40:47 |
Your Majesty |
| 00:40:59 |
Late Emperor |
| 00:41:01 |
did your spirit in heaven |
| 00:41:03 |
witness this vile exchange? |
| 00:41:16 |
General Yin |
| 00:41:19 |
Your Majesty |
| 00:41:22 |
The province of You is now yours to govern |
| 00:41:27 |
I am your servant, Your Majesty |
| 00:41:29 |
Imperial Guards |
| 00:41:30 |
Your Majesty |
| 00:41:32 |
Pei Hong is condemned to be beaten to death |
| 00:41:35 |
and his entire clan executed |
| 00:41:37 |
At once, Your Majesty |
| 00:41:59 |
What was it that you said we should carve? |
| 00:42:03 |
A flying dragon |
| 00:42:05 |
Let it be a dragon and a phoenix |
| 00:43:39 |
This is too brutal |
| 00:43:43 |
They say that Pei Hong himself invented this |
| 00:43:45 |
for the late Emperor's use |
| 00:43:50 |
Pei Hong is dying because of me |
| 00:43:57 |
If you have any regrets |
| 00:44:00 |
I can pardon him at once |
| 00:44:04 |
No pardon |
| 00:44:38 |
I am grateful to you |
| 00:44:41 |
You don't have to be |
| 00:44:43 |
Did you help the late Emperor |
| 00:44:46 |
No |
| 00:44:48 |
Then why are you being so generous with me? |
| 00:44:56 |
You give me what the late Emperor |
| 00:45:06 |
Lord Chamberlain |
| 00:45:08 |
Present |
| 00:45:09 |
I hereby proclaim |
| 00:45:11 |
the Empress coronation will take place |
| 00:45:13 |
on the fifteenth day of this month |
| 00:45:22 |
Your Majesty |
| 00:45:24 |
the traitor Pei Hong is dead |
| 00:46:16 |
He has returned |
| 00:46:19 |
He is not a threat to you |
| 00:46:22 |
But you said that the people anticipate |
| 00:46:50 |
Yin Sun |
| 00:46:55 |
What do you think you're doing? |
| 00:46:58 |
This gift from the Emperor |
| 00:47:01 |
is an insult to father |
| 00:47:04 |
It may be an insult |
| 00:47:06 |
but more than that, it is a test |
| 00:47:08 |
If your father had not been able to withstand |
| 00:47:09 |
a little humiliation from time to time |
| 00:47:14 |
he would never have reached his present rank |
| 00:47:17 |
or been trusted by three successive emperors |
| 00:47:22 |
What worries me is your little sister |
| 00:47:26 |
She is far too innocent |
| 00:47:40 |
I cannot get the eyes of the phoenix right |
| 00:47:45 |
Imagine the eyes of Empress Wan |
| 00:47:49 |
The Empress' eyes are |
| 00:47:53 |
sometimes soft and charming |
| 00:47:54 |
and sometimes frightening |
| 00:47:57 |
A phoenix with a steady gaze |
| 00:48:00 |
is what would please the Empress most |
| 00:48:05 |
The coronation is only two days away |
| 00:48:07 |
I fear this will not be ready in time |
| 00:48:14 |
From now on |
| 00:48:15 |
it is best if you stopped seeing the Prince |
| 00:48:20 |
Why? |
| 00:48:23 |
When the late Emperor was alive |
| 00:48:25 |
this match was our family's blessing |
| 00:48:28 |
Now that he is gone |
| 00:48:30 |
I fear it may be our downfall |
| 00:48:40 |
My heart will never change |
| 00:48:42 |
Make it change |
| 00:48:43 |
Learn from the Empress |
| 00:48:51 |
Who cares about losing a kingdom |
| 00:48:56 |
when in the presence of such rare beauty? |
| 00:49:01 |
You can hardly be more secure on your throne |
| 00:49:04 |
I can't ruin you anyway |
| 00:49:09 |
Qing, why don't you leave us |
| 00:49:10 |
Yes, Your Majesty |
| 00:49:24 |
In the heart of hearts, do you not trust me? |
| 00:49:32 |
The person I do not trust is my dear nephew |
| 00:49:36 |
I wonder how his rehearsal |
| 00:49:41 |
Your Majesty |
| 00:49:42 |
this rehearsal |
| 00:49:43 |
adheres to the usual rules |
| 00:49:44 |
only wooden swords are employed |
| 00:49:46 |
Please examine the weapons, Your Highness |
| 00:49:59 |
Thank you |
| 00:50:06 |
We have heard that Your Highness |
| 00:50:09 |
Mere childish endeavours |
| 00:50:11 |
I have not practiced in years |
| 00:50:13 |
It is the Emperor's wish |
| 00:50:15 |
that our performance at the coronation |
| 00:50:17 |
should impress the entire court |
| 00:50:19 |
Swordplay is always impressive |
| 00:50:21 |
and performance is my specialty |
| 00:50:26 |
In that case, please begin, Your Highness |
| 00:53:45 |
I am dead |
| 00:53:53 |
You really meant to kill him |
| 00:53:55 |
We would not dare |
| 00:54:09 |
He said he is dead |
| 00:54:13 |
What does the Empress think he died of? |
| 00:54:17 |
He... |
| 00:54:19 |
mistook a deadly combat for a show |
| 00:54:27 |
Precisely |
| 00:54:30 |
And I thoroughly enjoyed the show |
| 00:54:54 |
How did you manage to lose so badly today? |
| 00:54:58 |
Did you think I lost? |
| 00:55:01 |
I hope that you will do better |
| 00:55:04 |
at my coronation |
| 00:55:08 |
Why do you wear a mask when you perform? |
| 00:55:15 |
It transports an actor to the highest state |
| 00:55:20 |
Without a mask |
| 00:55:22 |
happiness, anger, sorrow and joy |
| 00:55:24 |
are simply written on his face |
| 00:55:28 |
But with a mask |
| 00:55:31 |
a great artist can convey to the audience |
| 00:55:37 |
the most complex and hidden emotions |
| 00:55:49 |
In that case, what do you see |
| 00:55:57 |
Six parts arrogance, three parts disquiet |
| 00:56:02 |
and one part guilt towards your late husband |
| 00:56:05 |
You are wrong |
| 00:56:07 |
It is disappointment... disappointment in you |
| 00:56:14 |
I no longer look to you to fulfill my dreams |
| 00:56:19 |
I can only pray to the heavens to have mercy |
| 00:56:23 |
and protect us both |
| 00:56:28 |
You are incapable of even |
| 00:56:31 |
Your sorrow, anger, bitterness and uncertainty |
| 00:56:36 |
are there for all to see |
| 00:56:38 |
You permit danger to follow you everywhere |
| 00:56:42 |
You think hiding behind a mask |
| 00:56:48 |
The highest level is to use your own face |
| 00:56:52 |
and turn it into a mask |
| 00:58:11 |
You are here |
| 00:58:17 |
Yes |
| 00:58:20 |
This is what you asked for |
| 00:58:28 |
Do not smell it |
| 00:58:31 |
The poison |
| 00:58:33 |
is a thousand times deadlier than arsenic |
| 00:58:37 |
If I can't smell it |
| 00:58:40 |
how do I use it? |
| 00:58:41 |
You blow it into the ear with a quill |
| 00:58:47 |
What is it made of? |
| 00:58:49 |
Why is it so poisonous? |
| 00:58:55 |
It's made of Erysipelas from the Northeast |
| 00:58:59 |
ground together with |
| 00:59:02 |
black scorpions of the Northwest |
| 00:59:04 |
So nothing is more poisonous? |
| 00:59:09 |
No |
| 00:59:10 |
What can be more lethal than this? |
| 00:59:14 |
The human heart |
| 00:59:21 |
There aren't any... |
| 00:59:24 |
Any what? |
| 00:59:26 |
There aren't any scorpions in the palace |
| 00:59:31 |
I hear you brought back a song |
| 00:59:39 |
I heard it from the Empress... |
| 01:00:06 |
Trees live on mountains |
| 01:00:12 |
My heart lives for your heart |
| 01:00:19 |
How pitiful... |
| 01:00:20 |
Who? |
| 01:00:23 |
The boat girl |
| 01:00:27 |
She loves him |
| 01:00:31 |
but he does not see her |
| 01:00:37 |
No |
| 01:00:40 |
You are talking about me |
| 01:00:42 |
You think I'm pitiful |
| 01:00:44 |
She pities me too |
| 01:00:47 |
Both of you |
| 01:00:50 |
use my suffering |
| 01:00:53 |
to lure me into your embrace |
| 01:00:58 |
Is that not the case? |
| 01:01:01 |
No |
| 01:01:02 |
Admit it |
| 01:01:03 |
No |
| 01:01:05 |
I am not her |
| 01:01:06 |
You are her |
| 01:01:07 |
I am not her |
| 01:01:08 |
You are her |
| 01:01:11 |
I am not her |
| 01:01:13 |
You are her |
| 01:02:08 |
The coronation ceremony |
| 01:02:11 |
of Her Majesty the Empress Wan |
| 01:02:13 |
will now commence |
| 01:04:06 |
The Empress' Seal |
| 01:04:23 |
May the Emperor live ten thousand times |
| 01:04:27 |
May the Empress live a thousand times |
| 01:04:32 |
A performance of swordplay |
| 01:04:34 |
by the Crown Prince Wu Luan |
| 01:05:21 |
Uncle |
| 01:05:22 |
Empress Mother |
| 01:05:23 |
I wish you both everlasting happiness |
| 01:05:28 |
My apologies for being late |
| 01:05:36 |
Please forgive me |
| 01:05:37 |
I am not going to play with you tonight |
| 01:05:55 |
Instead, I have prepared a play |
| 01:05:59 |
Darkness has fallen |
| 01:10:29 |
My dear nephew |
| 01:10:32 |
I have been expecting you |
| 01:10:36 |
Won't you take off your mask |
| 01:10:53 |
Your are covered in sweat |
| 01:10:56 |
They are tears |
| 01:11:00 |
Come |
| 01:11:02 |
Let me wipe them away for you |
| 01:11:04 |
No |
| 01:11:07 |
Your sleeves are soaked with Erysipelas |
| 01:11:09 |
They reek of black scorpions |
| 01:11:11 |
Wu Luan, you are not acting in a play now |
| 01:11:14 |
What a talented artist |
| 01:11:17 |
I feel so gratified |
| 01:11:21 |
Quickly bow and thank His Majesty |
| 01:11:25 |
Thank you, Uncle |
| 01:11:29 |
How much you have grown |
| 01:11:33 |
It's time to take on some serious |
| 01:11:37 |
Minister Yin |
| 01:11:41 |
Your Majesty |
| 01:11:42 |
What was in the dispatch sent by the Khitans? |
| 01:11:46 |
It says that to strengthen the trust |
| 01:11:50 |
we should each send our Crown Prince |
| 01:11:54 |
to live in the other's country |
| 01:11:56 |
Have they sent their hostage yet? |
| 01:11:58 |
They have, Your Majesty |
| 01:12:00 |
But I hear |
| 01:12:02 |
he is in fact the son of a herdsman |
| 01:12:13 |
We shall not behave like the Khitans |
| 01:12:18 |
We are a great country |
| 01:12:20 |
and we live by our word |
| 01:12:24 |
We shall send a real prince |
| 01:12:27 |
No |
| 01:12:35 |
Why not? |
| 01:12:38 |
His nature is too gentle |
| 01:12:40 |
All the better |
| 01:12:42 |
It will be honed by the sandstorms |
| 01:12:46 |
He is too emotional |
| 01:12:47 |
He may offend the Khitan Khan |
| 01:12:49 |
It appears you are emotional now |
| 01:13:00 |
but am I offended? |
| 01:13:04 |
Your Majesty's magnanimity |
| 01:13:06 |
is vast enough to embrace oceans |
| 01:13:10 |
But I will not tolerate a grain of sand in my eye |
| 01:13:16 |
Lord Chamberlain |
| 01:13:17 |
Yes, Your Majesty |
| 01:13:18 |
Write this down: |
| 01:13:21 |
The Crown Prince Wu Luan |
| 01:13:23 |
is henceforth appointed Ambassador to Khitan |
| 01:13:26 |
He will be escorted by the Imperial Guards |
| 01:13:29 |
and will depart promptly today |
| 01:13:33 |
By command of the Emperor |
| 01:13:35 |
Imperial Guards |
| 01:13:37 |
Your Majesty |
| 01:13:40 |
Escort the Crown Prince |
| 01:13:42 |
Yes, Your Majesty |
| 01:14:12 |
His Majesty is doing this for your own good |
| 01:14:19 |
Go... |
| 01:14:26 |
Wait |
| 01:14:39 |
Your Majesties, the Emperor |
| 01:14:42 |
and Empress |
| 01:14:46 |
Your servant Qing begs |
| 01:14:50 |
For what reason? |
| 01:14:53 |
So that when he is lonely |
| 01:14:55 |
there will be someone to sing to him |
| 01:15:07 |
Who do you think you are? |
| 01:15:11 |
Lord Chamberlain |
| 01:15:12 |
Present |
| 01:15:14 |
Take her away |
| 01:15:16 |
and give her thirty lashes of the whip |
| 01:15:18 |
Empress Mother |
| 01:16:03 |
Does it hurt? |
| 01:16:05 |
Yes |
| 01:16:13 |
My dearest daughter |
| 01:16:16 |
you have to learn to endure the pain |
| 01:16:21 |
It hurts too much |
| 01:16:24 |
but I shall listen to you and try to bear it |
| 01:16:27 |
Her Majesty the Empress approaches |
| 01:16:59 |
Does it hurt? |
| 01:17:01 |
No |
| 01:17:05 |
Look at you |
| 01:17:07 |
Tears are welling up |
| 01:17:09 |
and you still say it doesn't hurt? |
| 01:17:12 |
No, it doesn't |
| 01:17:17 |
Do you know why I punished you? |
| 01:17:22 |
Because you are jealous |
| 01:17:24 |
Qing |
| 01:17:27 |
Let her speak |
| 01:17:29 |
I like to hear the truth |
| 01:17:40 |
And why am I jealous? |
| 01:17:43 |
Because I have love |
| 01:17:45 |
And I don't? |
| 01:17:48 |
You only love yourself |
| 01:17:50 |
Nonsense |
| 01:17:53 |
Who does not love themselves? |
| 01:17:56 |
Let us take him as an example |
| 01:18:00 |
your father |
| 01:18:04 |
My father loves my brother and me |
| 01:18:06 |
more than anything in the world |
| 01:18:09 |
Really? |
| 01:18:12 |
Let us find out if this is true |
| 01:18:19 |
Guards |
| 01:18:20 |
Your Majesty |
| 01:18:23 |
Brand her face |
| 01:18:25 |
then have her exiled to the South |
| 01:18:29 |
Your merciful Majesty |
| 01:18:33 |
I always knew |
| 01:18:35 |
that the Minister was a man of wisdom |
| 01:18:48 |
Where are we? |
| 01:18:51 |
We are 350 miles past the province of You |
| 01:18:54 |
the Khitan boarder is just ahead |
| 01:18:58 |
Really? |
| 01:19:00 |
Why didn't you tell me |
| 01:19:04 |
I should have paid a visit to Yin Sun |
| 01:19:08 |
His Majesty commanded |
| 01:19:10 |
that there must be no delay |
| 01:19:47 |
Who is that? |
| 01:19:48 |
That is you |
| 01:19:51 |
The Prince |
| 01:19:53 |
The hostage |
| 01:19:54 |
In which case |
| 01:19:56 |
I shall not reach Khitan |
| 01:19:59 |
No, you will not |
| 01:20:03 |
When do you plan to kill me? |
| 01:20:14 |
Now |
| 01:20:16 |
You think you are capable of killing me? |
| 01:20:21 |
It will be either your death or ours |
| 01:21:23 |
I am Yin Sun, Governor of You |
| 01:21:26 |
My greetings to Your Highness |
| 01:22:01 |
Why did you save me? |
| 01:22:04 |
It was an order from that woman |
| 01:22:06 |
Her? |
| 01:22:08 |
Her |
| 01:22:10 |
You follow her orders? |
| 01:22:13 |
My sister is in her hands |
| 01:22:23 |
I am sorry |
| 01:22:25 |
Don't be |
| 01:22:46 |
What will you say to my uncle? |
| 01:22:48 |
I shall report that |
| 01:22:51 |
all the envoys were slaughtered by the Khitans |
| 01:22:55 |
There is not one single survivor |
| 01:22:57 |
But I am alive |
| 01:22:59 |
You will have to hide |
| 01:23:02 |
I do not want to live like a mole |
| 01:23:05 |
This is only temporary |
| 01:23:08 |
Temporary? |
| 01:23:10 |
How long is that? |
| 01:23:12 |
Three years? |
| 01:23:13 |
Five years? |
| 01:23:15 |
Or until my hair turns gray? |
| 01:23:17 |
It is still better than returning |
| 01:23:19 |
and dying needlessly |
| 01:23:24 |
I am not afraid of death |
| 01:23:25 |
But you cannot let other people die |
| 01:23:31 |
Will you not be satisfied until my sister |
| 01:23:34 |
my father |
| 01:23:37 |
and our entire clan |
| 01:23:40 |
have sacrificed themselves |
| 01:23:42 |
the way these poor guards have done |
| 01:23:44 |
so that you can play at your revenge? |
| 01:23:46 |
Will you not be satisfied until rivers flow |
| 01:23:50 |
and the world is submerged in turmoil? |
| 01:24:25 |
Looking at this mask |
| 01:24:27 |
what do you two see? |
| 01:24:30 |
Destiny at play |
| 01:24:32 |
Your Majesty is the true son of Heaven |
| 01:24:34 |
Nobody can oppose you |
| 01:24:37 |
But if I had not made the right move in time |
| 01:24:40 |
it would have been my blood |
| 01:24:44 |
you are staring at now, wouldn't it? |
| 01:24:49 |
You seem nervous... |
| 01:24:54 |
is the Minister not feeling well? |
| 01:24:56 |
Why are you sweating so profusely? |
| 01:25:00 |
Governor Yin |
| 01:25:03 |
Your Majesty |
| 01:25:06 |
Your father has worked too hard all his life |
| 01:25:09 |
Stay at home and keep him company |
| 01:25:12 |
My military duties |
| 01:25:13 |
keep me away from home, Your Majesty |
| 01:25:16 |
Your military duties? |
| 01:25:17 |
Without you, |
| 01:25:21 |
Your Majesty's kindness |
| 01:25:23 |
has moved your servant to tears |
| 01:25:26 |
We are most grateful |
| 01:25:34 |
I have never liked masks |
| 01:25:37 |
You may leave |
| 01:25:39 |
Yes, Your Majesty |
| 01:25:40 |
Lord Chamberlain |
| 01:25:42 |
Present |
| 01:25:43 |
We shall give a banquet for the entire court |
| 01:25:46 |
The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day |
| 01:25:49 |
That would be too late |
| 01:25:51 |
make it tomorrow night |
| 01:25:53 |
Tomorrow is not auspicious |
| 01:26:04 |
I will not bow to superstition |
| 01:26:11 |
Write this down: |
| 01:26:13 |
Tomorrow at midnight |
| 01:26:16 |
all courtiers are invited to a royal banquet |
| 01:26:19 |
to be given in the hall of gold |
| 01:26:21 |
Yes, Your Majesty |
| 01:26:23 |
Anyone who fails to attend |
| 01:26:25 |
will be executed |
| 01:26:35 |
Since the departure of the Crown Prince |
| 01:26:37 |
your sister has not touched |
| 01:26:42 |
Then let me tell her |
| 01:26:44 |
that he is still alive |
| 01:26:45 |
No |
| 01:26:47 |
Give this to her |
| 01:27:00 |
Drifting down the river Qian |
| 01:27:06 |
What auspicious day is this? |
| 01:27:12 |
Dreaming beside my Prince |
| 01:27:25 |
Brother |
| 01:27:32 |
I dreamt of him again last night |
| 01:27:38 |
He was dancing somewhere white as snow |
| 01:27:42 |
There were a lot of people |
| 01:27:45 |
He even invited me to join him |
| 01:28:03 |
Little sister |
| 01:28:06 |
stop fooling yourself |
| 01:28:10 |
You are not in his heart |
| 01:28:14 |
I know |
| 01:28:16 |
But I promised I would wait for him always |
| 01:28:25 |
You are in your brother's heart |
| 01:28:29 |
I will not let anybody harm you |
| 01:29:27 |
Is there anything more poisonous than this? |
| 01:29:29 |
Yes |
| 01:29:31 |
What? |
| 01:29:32 |
The human heart |
| 01:29:37 |
Well said |
| 01:29:41 |
Why didn't the Prince take it with him |
| 01:29:44 |
He was not ruthless enough |
| 01:30:05 |
This is your payment |
| 01:30:09 |
Arsenic? |
| 01:30:11 |
There is not much |
| 01:30:14 |
but it should be enough for one |
| 01:31:03 |
His Majesty the Emperor approaches |
| 01:31:40 |
We have not played polo for a while |
| 01:31:44 |
Let us have a big match, you and I |
| 01:31:48 |
Your Majesty is throwing a banquet tonight |
| 01:31:51 |
Is there enough time to play? |
| 01:31:52 |
It is still early |
| 01:31:56 |
I have a headache |
| 01:31:59 |
Lord Chamberlain |
| 01:32:00 |
Present |
| 01:32:02 |
Send for the Imperial Physician at once |
| 01:32:04 |
Yes, Your Majesty |
| 01:32:05 |
There is no need |
| 01:32:06 |
I just need to rest for a while |
| 01:32:19 |
Let me |
| 01:32:32 |
Your Majesty |
| 01:32:34 |
Don't move |
| 01:32:37 |
Look at you |
| 01:32:39 |
An Empress |
| 01:32:41 |
Mother to a nation |
| 01:32:43 |
And you still kick off your blankets |
| 01:32:47 |
Did you catch cold last night? |
| 01:32:51 |
Your Majesty |
| 01:32:56 |
How long have we been together? |
| 01:32:59 |
Why do you ask? |
| 01:33:04 |
Including today |
| 01:33:06 |
it would be one hundred days exactly |
| 01:33:11 |
You have been counting |
| 01:33:15 |
But to me |
| 01:33:18 |
it feels like less than a single day |
| 01:33:25 |
One hundred days, but |
| 01:33:33 |
I have never surrendered all of myself before |
| 01:33:39 |
Even if you are a piece of ice |
| 01:33:42 |
you will eventually melt in my mouth |
| 01:33:45 |
What if the ice |
| 01:33:49 |
turns into fire? |
| 01:33:59 |
A globe of fire in your mouth |
| 01:34:04 |
Then I shall swallow it |
| 01:34:08 |
and it will warm my heart |
| 01:34:12 |
Do it now |
| 01:34:16 |
Swallow it now |
| 01:35:03 |
What did she say? |
| 01:35:08 |
The Empress said that |
| 01:35:10 |
her mind was made up |
| 01:35:15 |
the moment the Prince |
| 01:35:21 |
The Emperor is fickle and suspicious |
| 01:35:24 |
She may be his favorite now |
| 01:35:29 |
but sooner or later |
| 01:35:31 |
he will turn his attention elsewhere |
| 01:35:34 |
Rather than wait to be discarded |
| 01:35:36 |
she has decided to take the risk |
| 01:35:39 |
She wants to rule herself? |
| 01:35:42 |
Exactly |
| 01:35:45 |
Once she has succeeded |
| 01:35:47 |
she intends to denounce the Emperor |
| 01:35:49 |
as a fratricide and usurper |
| 01:35:53 |
She will say that she is carrying out |
| 01:35:56 |
on behalf of the late Emperor |
| 01:35:58 |
She wants us to rally |
| 01:36:01 |
and support her claim to the throne |
| 01:36:15 |
This woman |
| 01:36:18 |
Ah, this woman |
| 01:36:21 |
Father |
| 01:36:23 |
whose side should we take? |
| 01:36:25 |
We have no choice, |
| 01:36:30 |
First, your sister is in her hands |
| 01:36:33 |
Secondly, when she asked you |
| 01:36:36 |
it was not for personal reasons alone |
| 01:36:38 |
It was to turn us into her accomplices |
| 01:36:42 |
so that we have nowhere to stand except |
| 01:36:46 |
She knows that we have no option now |
| 01:36:56 |
If this woman succeeds |
| 01:36:59 |
we must denounce her straight away |
| 01:37:00 |
as a traitor and an assassin |
| 01:37:05 |
The person who deserves to ascend |
| 01:37:10 |
but you |
| 01:37:13 |
Father |
| 01:37:16 |
Are you afraid? |
| 01:37:27 |
No |
| 01:37:29 |
If Heaven bestows this gift upon me |
| 01:37:31 |
to refuse would be |
| 01:37:33 |
to disobey the gods |
| 01:38:43 |
Ling |
| 01:38:46 |
prepare the carriage |
| 01:38:48 |
To the Minister of Law |
| 01:38:52 |
Minister Yin and his son, Yin Sun |
| 01:38:56 |
are guilty of the following crimes: |
| 01:39:00 |
Deceit of the Emperor and tyranny |
| 01:39:06 |
misuse of power and collusion of the enemy |
| 01:39:09 |
They will be stripped of their titles |
| 01:39:12 |
and exiled to the South |
| 01:39:17 |
All their property will be confiscated |
| 01:39:22 |
and deposited in the national reserve |
| 01:39:27 |
By command of the Emperor |
| 01:40:07 |
General Yin |
| 01:40:13 |
General Yin |
| 01:42:59 |
My Lord Chamberlain |
| 01:43:01 |
Present |
| 01:43:02 |
I wish to say a few words |
| 01:43:04 |
Yes, Your Majesty |
| 01:43:14 |
Pour the wine |
| 01:43:15 |
Yes, Your Majesty the Empress |
| 01:43:23 |
Our ancestors used to roam the palace |
| 01:43:27 |
but our most gracious Emperor |
| 01:43:30 |
throws brilliant banquets for his courtiers |
| 01:43:32 |
His hospitality surpasses all |
| 01:43:36 |
It is my privilege |
| 01:43:38 |
to thank His Majesty with this toast |
| 01:43:51 |
Also |
| 01:43:54 |
tonight |
| 01:43:57 |
I am going to take Your Majesty's life |
| 01:44:09 |
Excellent |
| 01:44:11 |
Esteemed courtiers |
| 01:44:14 |
Let us drink together |
| 01:44:16 |
To His Majesty |
| 01:44:30 |
Your servant Qing and my dancers |
| 01:44:33 |
beg permission to entertain Your Majesties |
| 01:44:48 |
Minister Yin |
| 01:44:51 |
Your Majesty |
| 01:44:53 |
Did you organize this surprise for me? |
| 01:44:56 |
Your Majesty |
| 01:44:57 |
this is Qing's own idea |
| 01:44:59 |
My father knows nothing about it |
| 01:45:02 |
Good |
| 01:45:04 |
What have you prepared for us? |
| 01:45:07 |
A song from Yue |
| 01:45:09 |
This sounds familiar |
| 01:45:12 |
It was the Crown Prince's favorite song |
| 01:45:16 |
To commemorate him |
| 01:45:20 |
I want him to know |
| 01:45:23 |
that even if the whole world abandons him |
| 01:45:26 |
I shall never do so |
| 01:45:28 |
and my love for him will never die |
| 01:45:35 |
This is very touching |
| 01:45:38 |
Grant her some wine |
| 01:45:39 |
Yes, Your Majesty |
| 01:45:41 |
Take my cup |
| 01:45:45 |
let me join you in remembering |
| 01:45:48 |
the departed spirit of my dear nephew |
| 01:45:53 |
Such an honor is too great for Wu Luan |
| 01:45:56 |
Let us fetch another cup |
| 01:45:58 |
Lord Chamberlain |
| 01:45:59 |
Present |
| 01:46:00 |
There is no need |
| 01:46:09 |
Thank you, My Lord |
| 01:46:11 |
But I do not know how to drink |
| 01:46:13 |
You must not refuse His Majesty's gracious gift |
| 01:46:20 |
Then I shall have a little sip |
| 01:46:23 |
Sister |
| 01:47:05 |
What blessed night is this? |
| 01:47:17 |
Drifting down the river Qian |
| 01:47:29 |
What auspicious day is this? |
| 01:47:44 |
Dreaming beside my Prince |
| 01:47:55 |
Too bashful to stare |
| 01:48:02 |
A secret I cannot share |
| 01:48:09 |
My heart fills with longing |
| 01:48:28 |
to know you, dear Prince |
| 01:48:36 |
Trees live on mountains |
| 01:48:55 |
My heart lives for your heart |
| 01:49:06 |
but you do not see me |
| 01:49:13 |
You do not see me |
| 01:49:34 |
Qing |
| 01:49:45 |
Wu Luan |
| 01:49:48 |
It's me |
| 01:49:50 |
It's me |
| 01:50:05 |
The moment the song started |
| 01:50:09 |
I could feel you near me |
| 01:50:14 |
My dearest Qing |
| 01:50:18 |
Your Highness |
| 01:50:23 |
do you still feel lonely? |
| 01:50:29 |
With you |
| 01:50:31 |
I shall never be lonely again |
| 01:51:18 |
Your brother loves you |
| 01:51:21 |
No one can harm you |
| 01:52:00 |
You poisoned the wine? |
| 01:52:07 |
Yes |
| 01:52:30 |
You wanted me to die? |
| 01:52:36 |
Yes |
| 01:52:43 |
And all along I thought I was warming |
| 01:52:53 |
It has been heated to the point of burning |
| 01:53:07 |
Lord Chamberlain |
| 01:53:10 |
Present |
| 01:53:12 |
Carry out this edict: |
| 01:53:22 |
Qing is to be given a lavish state burial |
| 01:53:26 |
Minister Yin |
| 01:53:29 |
What are you waiting for? |
| 01:53:31 |
You... |
| 01:53:33 |
venomous woman |
| 01:53:42 |
Where are the Imperial Guards? |
| 01:54:18 |
Imperial Guards |
| 01:54:19 |
Protect the Emperor |
| 01:55:15 |
Anyone who stands in my way will perish |
| 01:55:19 |
This man |
| 01:55:21 |
murdered my father like a coward |
| 01:55:26 |
This is a matter |
| 01:55:29 |
between the two of us |
| 01:55:32 |
It is nobody else's concern |
| 01:55:35 |
I don't want to kill the innocent |
| 01:55:38 |
Out of my way |
| 01:55:50 |
Such majestic demeanor |
| 01:55:53 |
as befits a nephew of mine |
| 01:56:19 |
I knew that if you were alive |
| 01:56:21 |
this day would come sooner or later |
| 01:56:25 |
And here you are |
| 01:56:30 |
Was it the desire for revenge |
| 01:56:33 |
that hauled you out of the valley of death? |
| 01:56:37 |
Or was it your melancholy |
| 01:56:39 |
that touched the hearts of women |
| 01:56:44 |
so that their tenderness |
| 01:56:46 |
wove a web of protection around you? |
| 01:56:51 |
Or perhaps |
| 01:56:54 |
a million calculations cannot compare |
| 01:57:04 |
Or maybe it is you |
| 01:57:18 |
my brother |
| 01:57:22 |
who has been protecting your son all along |
| 01:57:29 |
so that he can spill my blood |
| 01:57:41 |
If this is what you want |
| 01:57:44 |
Brother |
| 01:57:50 |
then let me appease you tonight |
| 01:58:39 |
You offered me a toast |
| 01:58:42 |
How can I refuse? |
| 01:59:06 |
The Emperor is dead |
| 01:59:35 |
Your Majesty |
| 01:59:44 |
Your Majesty |
| 01:59:46 |
Do with me what you will |
| 01:59:53 |
Please do not lay this sinful title on me |
| 01:59:59 |
Would killing you |
| 02:00:01 |
bring Qing back to life? |
| 02:00:14 |
The blade is poisoned |
| 02:00:29 |
Wu Luan |
| 02:00:30 |
It is nothing |
| 02:00:31 |
You are going to be fine |
| 02:00:33 |
He was lying |
| 02:00:34 |
There is no poison |
| 02:00:35 |
The blade is not poisoned |
| 02:00:36 |
Wu Luan |
| 02:00:38 |
Imperial Physician |
| 02:00:39 |
Lord Chamberlain |
| 02:00:41 |
Ling, where are you? |
| 02:00:44 |
Wu Luan |
| 02:00:45 |
Where is everybody? |
| 02:00:46 |
Little Wan... |
| 02:00:50 |
Little Wan... |
| 02:00:52 |
Little Wan is here... |
| 02:00:53 |
Your Little Wan is here |
| 02:00:55 |
Look at me, look at me |
| 02:00:58 |
Your Little Wan is here... |
| 02:01:00 |
Little Wan is here |
| 02:01:02 |
It is so good |
| 02:01:05 |
to be able to die |
| 02:01:08 |
You cannot die |
| 02:01:10 |
You must not die |
| 02:01:20 |
Wu Luan |
| 02:02:06 |
May your majesty live ten thousand times |
| 02:02:10 |
Long live |
| 02:02:13 |
Long live |
| 02:02:15 |
Long live Your Majesty |
| 02:02:27 |
Minister Yin conspired to usurp the Throne |
| 02:02:30 |
By law, he should be executed |
| 02:02:33 |
But considering his service |
| 02:02:36 |
he will only be exiled to the far North |
| 02:02:39 |
and never to return |
| 02:02:41 |
By command of the Empress |
| 02:03:05 |
Little Wan |
| 02:03:10 |
When was it that I started to forget my name? |
| 02:03:18 |
Perhaps it was the day your father married me |
| 02:03:28 |
You left |
| 02:03:33 |
and nobody used my name anymore |
| 02:03:38 |
Gradually even I forgot what it was |
| 02:03:46 |
Then your uncle married me |
| 02:03:53 |
and again I was called the Empress |
| 02:04:00 |
But from now on |
| 02:04:03 |
nobody will call me Empress anymore |
| 02:04:07 |
Instead, they will call me |
| 02:04:10 |
Her Majesty, the Emperor |
| 02:04:33 |
Do you know why I like this particular red? |
| 02:04:40 |
Because it is the color |
| 02:04:43 |
of the flame of desire |
| 02:04:48 |
Yes |
| 02:04:51 |
desire |
| 02:04:54 |
How many lives |
| 02:04:57 |
have been consumed by this flame? |
| 02:05:08 |
Only I |
| 02:05:13 |
shall rise out of it |
| 02:05:18 |
like a phoenix |
| 02:06:22 |
The breathless whisper of a single verse |
| 02:06:27 |
And loneliness blossoms within my heart |
| 02:06:32 |
The shimmer of a single dream |
| 02:06:38 |
And my world is undone |
| 02:06:43 |
The memory of a single tenderness |
| 02:06:49 |
And the sting of love reignites my wounds |
| 02:06:55 |
In the moment when a single tear falls |
| 02:07:01 |
All hatred becomes a distant blur |
| 02:07:06 |
I can love you with all that I am |
| 02:07:18 |
But even this cannot return you to me |
| 02:07:29 |
From now on I will live as a shadow |
| 02:07:40 |
Forever in the past... |
| 02:07:50 |
Forever in the past... |
