九九八十一 [Nine Nine Eighty One] Cover- (ENG SUB)

[TURN ON CC] Heyo, so this is very different from my usual content! I hope y'all don't mind! I know my voice isn't great and I might have a slight Canto accent but I had fun with this! I had an assignment in my Mandarin class to translate, and sing a song so this has been sitting on my computer til now. I was contemplating whether to post it or not but I've been trying to get comfortable with my voice so I thought uploading it would be fun! Plus it's a really good song and I wanted to share it with the English JTTW fandom. So yeah, here's 九九八十一 ! It covers a lot of the JTTW storylines so it was pretty tough to translate with the sheer amount of references in the lyrics and I'm not even sure if I'm 100% correct. My Tumblr: @antidotefortheawkward-art My Instagram: @antidotefortheawkward My Twitter: @antidote4awkwrd - Set off! Encounter the tiger and bear in Gongzhou Causing a night of havoc 500 years ago, it’s Sun Wukong Lost the horse! The white dragon flies out of Hawk Sorrow Ravine Sha River blocks the way and is hard to pass Take the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy at Fuling Mountain Advance up the mountain! Walk forward against the Yellow Wind The Seven Stars cannot shine into the Moon Cave The thousand year old white bone dissipates into evil wind Fish basket covers the sky and captures the red-tail The two Daoist children hold the violet gold calabash gourd The nine-tailed fox dares to subdue the dragon The white rainbow falls, the waves break like snowfall against the rocks Homesick, hard to go home Revert, reincarnate The full moon is reflected in the river, no reason to chase the past Good fortune is gathered in the country of Baoxiang Chunfengdu cannot rival Luoyang The Jade-Faced Fox gathers fragrant orchids The enormous scarlet python hides atop Qijue Mountain Pass through Western Liang, the love story in the Country of Women Compete with three Daoists, raising clouds of fire A frontal attack from the spear is easy to block, but a sneak attack from the arrow is hard to counter If I’m frail, the demons from all ten directions will thirst for me No matter your strategy- I’ll take them down one by one and you’ll see my true capabilities Thousands of miles of evil force me to no longer remain silent Along this treacherous road, I’ve shouldered this burden. If I don’t say a word about it, then what’s the need for anyone else to gossip about it? Borrow the fan from Luocha on Cuiyun Mountain A marriage banquet is held at the Azure Waves Pool, attracting the Nine-Headed Prince Consort Concealing mists! The golden-spotted leopard stretches its sharp claws To the north of the city, the Yellow Lion steals the iron-toothed rake The White-Furred Mouse secretly eats from Buddha’s candle snuff Homesick! Who dares to listen to the sound of the pipa? Three stings are what follow this soul-consuming song At once, the picture of a fair maiden is killed Six-Ear! It’s hard to tell who’s real and who’s fake Taisui summons the wind and sand with his bell The Jade Rabbit tosses the embroidery from a tall platform Red clouds hang low in the sky Purple clouds fly high in the sky Long since we’ve returned, still haven’t returned, long to return, hate to return These common people are compatible Heaven’s will is difficult to disobey The monk rides a white deer Thirteen female demons ensnare with ties of love The Crow Robed Demon sprouts a hundred eyes The one in front of the temple proclaims themself the Yellow-Browed Patriarch Fuyun Sou and Guzhi Gong discuss poetry Still haven’t reached Tianzhu In Jinping Prefecture, the Kings of Evading Heat, Cold, and Dust break the mortal world with their battle-axes Many authors ridicule my greed There have been many others who’ve concealed good wine Who would dare to claim they’ve ever been drunk? Don’t blame me- I will live a lifetime of infatuation I was born to yearn Yearning for women I only wish to hold an unrivaled beauty in my arms The spiritual energy of this living world Shaped my silhouette Leap out into the mortal world If the thunderstorm cries out, well then I too can cry out my own song Caught in my heart and mind, out of my heart and mind, cannot make up my mind Seventy two forms of courage- This time I’ve decided not to flee Tathagata Buddha questions my boldness That year I defaced the Heavens at Jasper Lake I havocked gleefully, not thinking much of it List my sins and decide the consequences for my actions This foolish heart will never admit fault, never reflect on its mistakes Great Sage Equal to Heaven now walks upon the ground But all the stories forget my loneliness Unable to bear the title of “hero” No need to argue about the chaos I’ve caused, don’t waste your spit I have walked this mortal world honestly A road of nine hundred rights to right nine thousand wrongs Ascended into the heavens and became a Buddha but I still have nine-nine eighty-one reasons to hold on
