The Shining Princess of the Supple Bamboo - gǔzhēng - Joe Hisaishi

I've traveled across the land From the arctic ice to the scalding sand I've been following the silhouette I've seen in my dreams, like heaven-sent So far away from home Kept traveling alone I'd run anywhere just to see her once again My Princess of the Sun What happened to the magic lands After these harrowing events For once abandoned by the sun It's gone, and no one knows why! There must be something really wrong How could she disappear for so long And leave us on our own? My path has led me to a weird place That kind that shocks with its dark beauty and grace She walked in slowly, hiding her face The way she sneaked away on one of those days... I still recall that rainy night When they've been beaten by own fright Her sister moans beneath the sun But she is staying strong and calm I bowed to her and placed that heavy crown upon her head To serve her till the end What happened to her royal air? Her mighty form's no longer there It filled us all with faith and hope Seems like her heart is dying! There must be something really wrong She took away her hood and turned I don't recall the last time she was crying!

Sure om this shining night of star-made shadows round, Kindness must watch for me this side the ground, On this shining night, This shining night Sure on this shining night of star-made shadows round, Kindness must watch for me this side the ground, On this shining night, This shining night The late year lies down the north All is healed, all is health High summer holds the earth Hearts all whole All is healed, all is health, all is health High summer holds the earth Hearts all whole Sure on this shining night, Sure on this shining night, Sure on this hining night, I weap alone of shadows on the stars Sure on this shining night of star-made shadows round, Kindness must watch for me this side the ground, On this shining night, This shining ... night, Sure on this shining night.
