君若天上云，侬似云中鸟。
相随相依，映日御风。
君若湖中水，侬似水心花。
相亲相恋，与月弄影。
人间缘何聚散，人间何有悲欢？
但愿与君长相守，莫作昙花一现。
If my lord you are the cloud, then I am the bird in the sky (clouds),
Both of us side by side, basking in the sunshine & wind.
If my lord you are the water in the lake, then I am the lotus flower in the water,
Loving each other, basking in the moonlight and shadows.
Why do fate (love) begins & ends in the world?
Why are there happiness & sadness in the world?
May (wish) I can be with my lord forever,
Even if I missed to be the flower that blossoms in the water for that moment..."
This Tang dynasty musical dance made me moved while I was watching live at the Xian Restaurant. I have been looking for it since I came back from China in June.
