Link Click Musical M13 逆转时光 - Rewind Time Translated Lyrics

DISCLAIMER: I don't claim to have the official translation of the lyrics, these are purely fanmade and can be inaccurate. I'd recommend checking out more information about the musical and translations to other songs through @sgdlr-asdfghjkl's blog! KEY: Cheng Xiaoshi, Lu Guang, both, translator notes

无论过去 - Don't dwell on the past

不问将来 - Don't ask about the future

(this is a more direct translation of “past and future, let them be”)

逆着光奔向梦境的中央 - Running against the light towards the heart/center of the dream

这一次是最终章 - This will be the final chapter

不让他的梦遗憾收场 - Don’t let his (Chen Xiao's) dreams end in regret

从前不敢回首奋力奔跑 - I used to run away without looking back

以为就能越过那些痛苦的过往 - Thinking I could get away from those painful memories

此刻反向奔跑击碎阻挡 - Now I run in the opposite direction, smashing through the obstacles

我收起感伤挥手告别 - I waved my sorrows goodbye

让心结释放 - And let go of the burdens within my heart

你的谎言不能兑现 - Your lies will come back to haunt you

他的笑颜留在今天 - His smile remains to this day

故事重演改写执念 - The story repeats itself, becoming an obsession

逆转时间成全心愿 - We rewind time to fulfill these wishes

DIALOGUE TRANSLATION: (there's no official transcription for these. I also can't tell which characters are which lmao I tried my best) "Hey, captain, guess what? They're keeping the basketball courts!" "Really?" "Really! The principal said we’re keeping the courts, so as long as we keep working hard, we’ll keep winning for sure!" “Awesome! Hey, let's promise, next time we compete, we’ll play in the city!” "Would the school really--" "They will! The school will fix our basketball courts, fix our floors, and add better lights!" "You've really said what's already on my mind. This all feels like a dream!" "We're counting on you, captain!"

请原谅我编织的梦境 - Please forgive me, (CXS) for the dream that i have fabricated

不愿看你黯淡的眼睛 - I don’t want to have to look into your lifeless eyes

你的期许是坠落流星 - Your hopes are but falling stars

短暂绚烂无比 - Short-lived, but brilliant

DIALOGUE TRANSLATION: Chen Xiao (CXS): Liu Meng, I…I really like you! Ever since I found out you were planning to move to the city, I’ve been too afraid to say how I felt. But now I want to make a promise with you. You study hard in the city, I’ll work hard in the countryside too. I’ll make sure we get into the same university! Liu Meng: Pinky promise? You’d better not go back on your word! Chen Xiao (CXS): I won’t! Then, let’s pinky promise. Promise you won't forget me? Chen Xiao (CXS): I, Chen Xiao, swear I will never forget you. Liu Hongbin: That’s enough guys, it’s not like you’ll be separated forever. How about staying over for dinner tonight? Chen Xiao (CXS): That’s alright! My ma’s still waiting for me at home. I’ll stay next time! …next time, for sure. [BEAT DROP]

一年一年反复排练 - Year after year, rehearsing again and again

一滴一点青涩往昔 - Little by little, the bittersweet past  

一字一句迟来心意 - Every word, every conversation, every belated confession

逆转时间终有回应 - By reversing time, i will eventually find the answers

命运的轨迹离散是主题 - The goal of fate is to tear us apart

(likely about Chen Xiao's separation from his family and friends, but it probably applies to Shiguang too.)

生命是崎岖的旅行 - The journey of life is a treacherous road

没有捷径可逃离 - There is no easy way out

人生的轨迹，再次返回这里 - The trajectory of life leads us here again

为你按下暂停 - For you, I will press pause

逆转时光找到你 - Reversing time in order to find you

谎言包裹真心 - Using lies to cover up the truth

不让遗憾延续 - Don’t let yourself have any more regrets

逆转时光也为你 - For you, I will rewind time

是完成使命也拯救自己 - To finish the mission as well as to save yourself

尊重宿命的轨迹 / 学会放下遗憾别沉溺过去 - Respecting the trajectory of fate / Learning to let go of your past regrets 

抚平难遗忘的回忆 - Healing those unforgettable memories

命运的轨迹 / 在过去 - The trajectory of fate / Left in the past

擦不去 - The memories can’t be erased

承诺的践行 / 在未来 - The fulfillment of our mission / Is in the future

笑着释怀逆转时光的意义 - We rewind time and let go of our past regrets with a smile

when I say my jaw DROPPED when I read these lyrics...GOD Lu Guang's lyrics break my heart :'))))

H-hi? I honestly don't remember if I ever said it here on tumblr why I stopped posting about Link Click musical. Once in a while I see new people getting interested in it and I feel bad for not being able to provide info asap ><'

Main reason is I work fulltime now and simply don't have much spare time to be as chronically online as I used to 💀

After Yingdu I lowkey got disinterested in LC as a whole, I've always been a multifandom person, so it's natural I moved on to other interests. Maybe I will come back for s3.

I still care about the Shanghai musicalverse and still vaguely follow my favourite actors. But LC is one of the most popular musicals in China and they are going strong. With limited time I cannot keep up with stuff like new cast members. They are currently preparing for Link Click Musical in Guangzhou (building set, auditioning for actors who will perform there). So ye, it's too busy out there.

I believe the archive and masterlists I prepared are a solid enough base to start from, if you want to get into LC-mu on your own. You can always give me asks if you need help, I do check notifications still o7

I was working on LC-mu FAQ but I got to actors' bio's and was overwhelmed by the workload (research is extra hard bc I don't speak Chinese & Chinese side of internet is hard to access in general). I do have a good chunk of info written down though, so I anyone is interested I can share the google drive link for it (just keep in mind it's not a finished work) 🙏

On a side note I'm going to meet our legendary Chinese ally Elara in real life! I am so hyped but also afraid since I've never been abroad before, so keep your fingers crossed >< If you have any questions you'd want to ask a Chinese musical fan you can write them in the comments, I will forward them ^^

Okay cheers!

Short low effort tcp comic~ (chocolate hunt)

(based on real events hhhhh, read for storytime)

-srry if I was a bit unactive btw, I had another trip in Shanghai!-

So I went to the new bar at the theater where I usually see lcmu, with a friend, and before leaving, I left some chocolate I brought from Italy, hoping tcp or his fans could find it at the day after's musical premiere event

Actually I didn't hope too much since there was an event on the day I went too, so maybe ppl from that event would find it. then I just casually left a little note saying “gift from italian fan” and my name

BUT

the morning after, while I was doing my makeup, I saw tcp was streaming so I had the great idea (no im just silly) of telling him abt it like “yk, i casually left some chocolate at the bar, who knows if its still there~”

I know he recognizes me and always reads what I write but DIDN'T EXPECT HIM TO START ASKING AROUND AND SEARCHING SO SERIOUSLY AND HE ACTUALLY FOUND IT?!

I did make him go on an unexpected treasure hunt and he almost gave up at some point hahahahaha but bro really wanted that chocolate, I hope he enjoys it ✨

(no one will read all of this hahahahaha I'll just keep it as a diary~ also it's too niche-)
