"Star-crossed" i låttexter

Elton John - Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours

Giacomo Puccini - The Swallow (libretto)

The Untamed (OST) - Qinghe Farewell

how many lives, intertwined
Unending sky—
brothers’ fate1
when will we see each other again?

  • 1. I want to unpack the character 缘 yuan just a bit in this line—I rendered it here as “fate,” which isn’t wrong, but there’s a bit more to be discussed. 缘 yuan is often seen in the company of 分 fen, and the binome 缘分 yuanfen is often used to refer to a predestined relationship. The relationship could be lovers, could be friends, could be ruler-minister, or patron-artist—the point is, there is a level of natural affinity in the relationship such that someone might comment “oh, it was 缘分 yuanfen that the two of you would meet.” 分 fen has many meanings, one of which is “allotment”—as a result, star-crossed lovers are often described as 有缘没有分 you yuan meiyou fen / “in possession of yuan, lacking fen.” They have just had enough fortune to meet—that is the predestined part of the relationship. Alas, they lack the 分 fen, the allotment (whether of a divine and fated variety, or a more pedestrian kind based on unequal social status) to remain together. How does this all relate to the Nie brothers in this song? Well, there is something to be said about the relationship of destiny and predestination to their brotherhood, and the nature of saber cultivation. Likewise, there is something powerful about describing their relationship in terms of 缘分 yuanfen—it emphasizes just how intertwined their lives are, and how much the two of them care about each other, despite words that may seem “like cold saber’s edge.”
