孤勇者 “Lonely Warrior”

My translation of the Chinese opening song of Arcane, performed by 陈奕迅 Eason Chan.

孤勇者
Gū yǒngzhě
Lonely warrior

VERSE 1

都 是勇敢的
Dōu shì yǒnggǎn de
Everything is brave

你额头的伤口 你的 不同 你犯的错
Nǐ étóu de shāngkǒu nǐ de bùtóng nǐ fàn de cuò
The wounds on your forehead, your being different, your mistakes

都 不必隐藏
Dōu bùbì yǐncáng
You don’t have to hide any of that

你破旧的玩偶 你的 面具 你的自我
Nǐ pòjiù de wán'ǒu nǐ de miànjù nǐ de zìwǒ
Your shabby toys, your mask, your own self

他们说 要带着光 驯服每一头怪兽
Tāmen shuō yào dàizhe guāng xùnfú měi yītóu guàishòu
They say you have to tame every monster with light

他们说 要缝好你的伤 没有人爱小丑
Tāmen shuō yào fèng hǎo nǐ de shāng méiyǒu rén ài xiǎochǒu
They say you have to stitch up your wounds, for no one would love a buffoon

为何孤独 不可 光荣
Wèihé gūdú bùkě guāngróng
Why can’t loneliness be glorious?

人只有不完美 值得歌颂
Rén zhǐyǒu bù wánměi zhídé gēsòng
Only the imperfect people are worthy of praise in songs

谁说污泥满身的不算英雄
Shéi shuō wū ní mǎn shēn de bù suàn yīngxióng
Who said those covered in mud can’t be called heroes?

CHORUS

爱你孤身走暗巷
Ài nǐ gūshēn zǒu àn xiàng
I love your lonely figure walking down the dark alley

爱你不跪的模样
Ài nǐ bù guì de múyàng
I love the way you don’t kneel down

爱你对峙过绝望
Ài nǐ duìzhì guò juéwàng
I love how you confronted despair face-to-face

不肯哭一场
Bù kěn kū yī chǎng
Never giving in to tears

爱你破烂的衣裳
Ài nǐ pòlàn de yīshang
I love that you wear tattered clothes

却敢堵命运的枪
Què gǎn dǔ mìngyùn de qiāng
Yet you still dare to jam fate’s gun

爱你和我那么像
Ài nǐ hé wǒ nàme xiàng
I love how we’re so similar

缺口都一样
Quēkǒu dōu yīyàng
Even sharing the same flaws

去吗?配吗?这褴褛的披风
Qù ma? Pèi ma? Zhè lánlǚ de pīfēng
Should I go? Is it worth the effort? This ragged cloak

战吗?战啊!以最卑微的梦
Zhàn ma? Zhàn a! Yǐ zuì bēiwéi de mèng
Should I fight? Let’s fight! With the lowliest dreams

致那黑夜中的呜咽与怒吼
Zhì nà hēiyè zhōng de wūyè yǔ nùhǒu
To honor those quiet sobs and angry roars in the dark

谁说站在光里的才算英雄
Shéi shuō zhàn zài guānglǐ de cái suàn yīngxióng
Who said only those standing in the light can be called heroes?

他们说 要顺台阶而上 而代价是低头
Tāmen shuō yào shùn táijiē ér shàng ér dàijià shì dītóu

Then let me choose not to ride the wind

你一样骄傲着 那种孤勇
Nǐ yīyàng jiāo'àozhe nà zhǒng gū yǒng
You still carry that pride, that lonely courage

谁说对弈平凡的不算英雄
Shéi shuō duìyì píngfán de bù suàn yīngxióng
Who said ordinary players can’t be called heroes?

wine for idiots

WHITE WINE

if you want to make a wine person very unhappy, say that a white wine they like "is giving me a little green bell pepper?"

RED WINE

honestly the only two questions you need to start credibly talking about red wine are "does it taste like red fruits (strawberry/cherry/raspberry) or black fruits (blackberry/plum)?" and "does it taste oaky (i.e. gently sweet and earthy in a way youd associate with coffee or chocolate or warming spices)

if its a fancy dry wine (not a dessert wine, not port, manischewitz or markovic) dont say "sweet," say "juicy"

FIZZY WINE

if its red and fizzy its probably a lambrusco

if youre drinking champagne talk about the "minerality," even chalk notes if youre feeling gutsy. you dont have to taste it just say it

ORANGE WINE

this is very trendy. youre gonna want to talk about its "funkiness." if you use the term "gym socks" at the right time you will get a round of laughs or at least knowing nods. if you see shmutz in the bottom dont worry about it.

MISC

if you want a wine person to talk for a while and not ask you any questions just ask them how they feel about natural wine. theyll go on for a little and you can decide to agree or disagree based on how hot they are
