《呼吸五千年》｜致敬神韻小舞劇｜趙雲｜岳飛｜薛仁貴

One sleeve sweeps through Jiangnan rain Her silken form beneath the moonlit strain She comes upon the ancient wind A thousand mountains trail her hem She asks not what year this may be Nor how the world has changed through history One turn of her gaze And a thousand years are lit ablaze At Peach Garden, three sworn as kin Through storm and strife, they stood as one No wind or rain could sway their vow For honor stood as firm as mountain now Steel flashed bright, the war winds blew How many heroes turned to dust and dew Yet one true promise still remains Its echo rings through earth and heavens The dance begins — a thousand years look back One sleeve unfolds — the spirit still intact She dances not the dreams of heroes gone But for a steadfast heart that carries on Iron steeds roar beneath the northern gale A lonely city gazes through the veil Yue Fei looks back — the Central Plains afar One loyal heart beneath the azure stars The body may be shamed, the will unbroken The road may stretch, the heart remains unshaken Though storm and darkness veil the sky His loyal spirit still stands high The dance begins — a thousand years look back One sleeve unfolds — the ancient winds awake She dances not for a hero's name But for a loyal heart that stays the same By the cold cave, years have passed One faithful vow has held steadfast She asks not for riches or acclaim She keeps her first love all the same Xue Lang journeys far to war Bao Chuan waits as she did before Though years may fade her youthful glow Their shared devotion still will flow Not merely for the sake of love Nor simply waiting for his return Through every hardship, every trial She followed still the vow made long ago Behold this Shen Yun dance drama One word — Yi, Crossing through the blades and flames One word — loyalty, Standing through the storm and mountains One word — grace, Keeping faith through time and parting A thousand people, a thousand years A thousand tales through joy and tears Why do they still Move our hearts today? Because what has endured Was never only a story It is how we stand beneath the sky True to ourselves, to others, never a lie It is a heart that holds all life Putting others before itself It is the strength To keep the righteous heart through every strife Rivers change, and dynasties fade Old cities sleep beneath the evening shade Though ancient books grow old with years One human heart remains beyond the years Benevolence and justice age not with the rain Faith and honor outlive the passing years Though love may lie a thousand years away One true heart can still light the way The light that generations have preserved With all the lives they chose to give Is more than five thousand years of China It is a hope shared by all humanity The dance begins — a thousand years look back One sleeve unfolds — the heavens stretch vast She dances stories from an ancient age She guards the human heart beyond the age Truth gives life a guiding way Compassion brings the world its grace Forbearance, through the darkest night Keeps freedom glowing in the heart's own light The dance begins — eternal winds arise One thought remains — where heaven meets our eyes A thousand years later Shen Yun still dances Not to return to the past But to let that little light That once lit ancient hearts Shine here today And light the human world again One sleeve crosses mountains and rivers One step travels through the years One person rises into dance And standing behind them Is an entire civilization And what a civilization Truly seeks to leave behind Is not stone Nor palace walls Nor a page of history But the freedom to choose To be true, without deceit To be kind, without selfishness To endure, without surrender A dance through a thousand years A thousand years, one thought remains People may depart But the dance lives on Stories grow old Mountains and rivers change Yet one lone lamp remains From the hearts of those before us Into the hearts of those today From one single soul To millions of souls From one age Into another age If there are still hearts that hold to truth If there are still hearts that cherish kindness If there are still those who weather every storm Yet never forsake their path Then that light Has never gone out The dance begins And five thousand years look back The dance turns And lets a civilization breathe for five thousand years
