[Lyric] Chen Yifa — Fairy Town English Translation (Genius English Translations)

[Verse 1]
I heard Snow White is running away
Little Red Riding Hood is worried about the big bad wolf
I heard that the Mad Hatter likes Alice
The ugly duckling becomes a white swan
I heard that Peter Pan never grows up
Jack has a harp and magic
I heard there is a candy house in the forest
Cinderella lost her beloved glass shoe

[Pre-Chorus]
Only the wise river knows
Snow White ran out of the castle because she wants to have fun
Little Red Riding Hood needs something to restrain herself
From becoming the wolf's red hood

[Chorus]
There is always a colourful river meandering in the fairy tale town
Contaminating the perverse breath of magic
But twists and turns in love
The stream keeps spraying up water
And draws in a curtain of time into its waters
Let everything in a long long time ago
All come to a happy ending
[Verse 2]
I heard that Sleeping Beauty was buried
That Little Mermaid is looking at the Golden Palace
I heard that Apollo became the Golden Crow
A saber-toothed tiger is running in the grassland
I heard that Pinocchio always likes to lie
That a gnomish monster has a chest full of gems
I heard that there is a longevity tree on the cliff
And that the red shoes are dancing tirelessly

[Pre-Chorus]
Only the wise river knows
Sleeping Beauty escaped the torment of life
That the little mermaid turns sunlight into eyeshadow
And throws it into the arms of the river

[Chorus]
There is always a colourful river meandering in the fairy tale town
Contaminating the perverse breath of magic
But twists and turns in love
The stream keeps spraying up water
And draws in a curtain of time into its waters
Let everything in a long long time ago
All come to a happy ending

There is always a dreamy river meandering in the fairy tale town
Dividing the ideal and the reality
And connects again at the mountain up ahead
The stream keeps spraying up water
And draws in a curtain of time into its waters
Let everything in a long long time ago
All come to a happy ending
Yet strange
