Baby, До свидания - Zhou Shen on The Singer 2020

Please go check out the original videos -- all credit to MangoTV, Zhou Shen, and all the other performers and crew:

Song Only

Full Episode

TL;DR: Yelling into the void about this arrangement & lyrics.

I've been listening to random Zhou Shen performances from the Singer and other live shows for a long time, but I often don't look into the lyrics if they're not already subtitled in the video.

Anyway, I'm finally actually watching full episodes of The Singer, which has subs!!! for the songs!!! (If only I had known..... they don't have them in their individual song videos for some reason ;.;)

Until seeing this and doing some research, I hadn't realized Baby, До свидания was a Chinese song, and that Zhou Shen added lines from a Soviet era Russian song to the beginning of this performance. I just thought he had done a unique arrangement of a Russian song, and someone had written Chinese lyrics for part of it. Silly me.

(In this video he says Pu Shu rewrote a Russian song to make Baby, До свидания, but I'm not sure if that's a mistranslation or he misspoke, as I can't find anythingggg online about the song being based on something else.)

Anyway, now that I know the song lyrics, I'm ..... OBSESSED with this arrangement and how cohesively it all fits together.

<<I don't claim to know Zhou Shen's intention behind the arrangement or his interpretation of the songs. I only know what he said in the video. This is just my personal interpretation.>>

To me, the songs together paint a picture of someone who can't confess their love for someone, and who feels they have no home, no roots. They are just wandering, having casual encounters with strangers in lieu of the one they love, doing whatever they can to avoid their feelings. They are suffering in loneliness because they can't speak these feelings out loud.

The last line he sings, in Chinese, mirrors the last line of the first verse of the Russian song (in melody and meaning).

Не могу открыться, слова не найду.

Ne mogu otkryt'sya, slova ne naydu

For I cannot tell him and open my heart (source linked below)

or, I can't open up, I can't find the words (Google Translate)

or, Unspeakable passionate love in my heart (video subs)

Translation source for "Blooming Cherry Blossoms" or "Oh, Viburnum's Blooming"

满怀的心腹话儿没法说出来

Mǎnhuái de xīnfù huà er méi fǎ shuō chūlái

I can't express my true feelings (Google Translate)

or, Full of heartfelt words I can't say (Google Translate, I broke the phrase into 2 parts)

or, Heart full of sorrows and hesitant words (video subs)

...So the song basically ends at the same point it started from. This person still can't say how they really feel, nothing has changed.

I don't know what else to say... if you're a fan of Zhou Shen and you've heard him sing this and never knew what the lyrics were, I hope this is illuminating! And if you've never heard him sing this, or if you've never heard of him period, please check him out!!

Characters Confirmed in the Showdown

(Pretty much finalized at this point)

1.) Submissions are still open if you want to submit propaganda or a character.

2.) If you submitted a character and they are not here or on the rejected character list then it was probably an issue on our end, feel free to send us an ask about it.

3.) If you’re like, hey these are technically the same character, why are they in twice, it’s because we think it’s funny.

4.) Submissions for our sanity will probably close in like a week, we’ll see what the vibe is in a bit.

5.) There are some characters that we are still looking for propaganda for, they will be at the very bottom of the list under the cut. Additionally, we reserve the right to not use some propaganda submitted.

6.) Currently, 78/181 image descriptions are written. What this means for when the showdown will actually start? I don’t know, it’s just gonna be a while.

大鱼 (great fish) - english translation

大鱼 is the theme song created for the 2016 animated movie 《大鱼海棠》 (big fish & begonia). Lyrics by 尹约 Yin Yue, composed by 钱雷 Qian Lei, sung by 周深 Zhou Shen/Charlie.

海浪无声将夜幕深深淹没 漫过天空尽头的角落 大鱼在梦境的缝隙里游过 凝望你沉睡的轮廓

看海天一色 听风起雨落 执子手吹散苍茫茫烟波 大鱼的翅膀 已经太辽阔 我松开时间的绳索

怕你飞远去 怕你离我而去 更怕你永远停留在这里 每一滴泪水 都向你流淌去 倒流进天空的海底

海浪无声将夜幕深深淹没 漫过天空尽头的角落 大鱼在梦境的缝隙里游过 凝望你沉睡的轮廓

看海天一色 听风起雨落 执子手吹散苍茫茫烟波 大鱼的翅膀 已经太辽阔 我松开时间的绳索

看你飞远去 看你离我而去 原来你生来就属于天际 每一滴泪水 都向你流淌去 倒流回最初的相遇

Silent waves submerge the curtain of night Soaking through the alcoves of the sky A great fish swims through dreamscape’s seams Gazing at the contours of your slumber

See the one hue of both sea and sky, hear the wind call forth rain Raise a hand, disperse the boundless mists The great fish’s wings are already far too vast I loosen the rope of time

I fear you’ll fly far away, fear you’ll leave my side Even more, I fear you’ll always stay right here Every tear I shed flows out toward you Until it reaches the heavens’ seafloor

Silent waves submerge the curtain of night Soaking through the alcoves of the sky A great fish swims through dreamscape’s seams Gazing at the contours of your slumber

See the one hue of both sea and sky, hear the wind call forth rain Raise a hand, disperse the boundless mists The great fish’s wings are already far too vast I loosen the rope of time

I watch you fly far away, watch you leave my side So—you were born to be with the horizons! Every tear I shed flows out toward you Until it reaches back to our first meeting

t/n:

this song was explicitly written to fit with the movie's plot (which is kind of scattered and hard to follow imo), but without that context these lyrics really seems to be about the grief of parenthood/loss of a child…???

the embedded video includes another english translation in the captions. it's interesting to see where our translations had similarities and differences.

[queer-book-character-tournament]

Are there supposed to be some round 3 winners missing from the semifinals/round 4? Maybe I misunderstood the rules

... did I miss someone? I'm pretty sure all winners from round three moved on to round four and then the round four winners went to the semi finals

match ups from those rounds under cut

Round three (winners bolded) was:

Nick Nelson/Charlie Spring vs Shen Qingqiu/Luo Binghe

Alex Claremont-Diaz/Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor vs Ronan Lynch/Adam Parrish

Evelyn Hugo/Celia St James vs Neil Josten/Andrew Minyard

Red/Blue vs Zhao Yunlan/Shen Wei

Zhou ZiShu/Wen KeXing vs Jesper Fahey/Wylan Van Eck

Nico di Angelo/Will Solace vs Wu Zetian/Li Shimin/Gao Yizhi

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji vs John Gaius/Augustine the First/Mercymorn the First vs Gideon Nav/Harrowhark Nonagesimus

Sundew/Willow vs Shang Qinghua/Mobei-Jun

Patroclus/Achilles vs Alec Lightwood/Magnus Bane

and then round four (winners bolded) was:

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji vs Shen Qingqiu/Luo Binghe

Ronan Lynch/Adam Parrish vs Red/Blue vs Nico di Angelo/Will Solace

Neil Josten/Andrew Minyard vs Shang Qinghua/Mobei

Patroclus/Achilles vs Jesper Fahey/Wylan Van Eck

Which leads us to the semi finals (winners yet undetermined):

Neil Josten/Andrew Minyard vs Jesper Fahey/Wylan Van Eck

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji vs Ronan Lynch/Adam Parrish
