The fact that Xiao will continue his duty as the last Yaksha until so far off in the future (aka modern Liyue) is kind of depressing. Though, at least he seems to have a semblance of a normal life, so I guess that's a positive aspect. But he probably won't stop until either Morax/Rex Lapis/Zhongli tells him to (maybe not even then) or if he is finally consumed by his accumulated karmic debt.

Blud’s gonna remain alive for such a long time being alone, unless Traveler goes to visit him. Either way, loneliness all over again for him :((

We can see how Xiao stayed and protected Liyue as the buildings and clothes change, he’s always here, protecting 😭😭😭😭😭

i dont understand the lyrics so my interpretations based on the art is that xiao is still defending liyue as it progresses to a new and modern era. still defending the land behind the scenes with no recognition

I need to read a fanfic of xiao acting as an independent vigilante in 1920s liyue now

Lol it's just about he's story

Hi! I bring some translations to help clarify the lyrics to this beautiful song. 💗 First let me note that the following translation was done by my dad but even so, my family is more fluent in the Cantonese dialect. This song is in the Mandarin dialect and some Chinese characters are simplified (my dad grew up learning traditional, not simplified Chinese characters). On top of that, the lyrics are written in calligraphy so some Chinese characters are hard to read. Please note my dad is in his 50s and has some eye problems so he couldn't read some Chinese words or wasn't sure how to translate them into English. This song is pretty much a poetic song, so of course some things are rhetorical or are meant to be allusions as well. I do love how some people, based on the art, was saying it's related to Xiao protecting Liyue throughout the years even until it evolved and revolutionized! But the lyrics show some of that pain and gloom he endures as well. Xiao's not emo or edgy. He truly leads a very admirable, selfless, and painful existence. Let's appreciate him

Thank you so much.. despite of being vague it still gives a lot of insight of what's going through his mind and it hurts T____T

Bruhhhhh how is this so friggin underrated? The art is beautiful!!! The animations are clean! Someone get KZread to recommend this to every Xiao fan!

Doesn't matter how much Liyue changes, Xiao will forever protect it

This is absolutely stunning. The more time flies bye and liyue transforms into a modern city, Xiao continues to strive and protect it from the bottom of his heart. He continues his duty. This is such an amazing piece and deserve a lot of credit.

Dang, for Xiao to see the present/future. He probably watched the people close to him leave or die. Not that he wasn't already doing that in the period genshin is set in, but it's still sad. 0:44 That one guy that has to work on the holidays.

I love it- Xiao defending Liyue til the last of his days is truly amazing.

黑水清闊水脈脈渡不得 我是這風景過客命相隔 長夢是永夜冥河彼岸花謝那刻 餘生少顏色 白山巍沃山緘默說不得 通天路上遺世者無人和 剩掌心徘徊螢火明滅消磨著 驀然跌落 沿途千盞燈火描摹夜色指引著傳說 寂寞姓氏遺落謠歌唱去日苦多 這一生擦肩黃泉與碧落再會我忘了我 山有木兮木有枝半首越人歌 天自憐我愛涼薄恨輕薄 無心人與多情客皆是我 誰眼有一人之國身是一世漂泊 荒途長跋涉 紅塵入過山轉過水轉過 驚不了耳目唇舌難醉我 這世間天高海闊我自打馬過 驀然失落 沿途千盞燈火描摹夜色指引著傳說 清冷面目溫熱魂魄心聲中沉默 這一生自畫何用費筆墨光陰都記得我 山有木兮木有枝半首越人歌 沿途千盞燈火描摹夜色指引著傳說 清冷面目溫熱魂魄心聲中沉默 這一生自畫何用費筆墨光陰都記得我 山有木兮木有枝半首越人歌

This is a masterpiece. The song, the art, everything is so beautiful, it makes me want to cry!

TRANSLATION: (I’m not professional but I speak mandarin so I tried my best) Dark but clear water without ripples I’m all but a passerby of this sight, the boundaries of life Deep dreams are the Styx in an endless night, when the petals of lycrois radiata fall A colourless life What cannot be told in the land of those snow-white mountains The journey to the heavens ceased lives and emotions What’s left was nothing but the dim light in my palm, wasting the time of tomorrow It suddenly fell The passage with thousands of lights, panting the night Guiding the legends Those lonely names and forgotten songs, sang about happiness but with bitterness So close to crossing the line, alongside the blue sky Anymore I will forget myself The mountains have their trees and the trees have their branches, bits in the Song of the People of Yue (it’s a poem) 01:14 The heavens pity me, love is cold and short, hate is frivolous and tiring One without a heart or one without emotion would all be me Some say a kingdom with only one man, is a life of idle wandering Travelling perpetually in a desolated land I had ventured into the world of the mortals, I’ve seen their lives, I’ve seen their universe But I cannot inebriate myself in tales and desires This world is vast and limitless, but I march ahead in haste as time flew The sudden feel dejection and emptiness The passage with thousands of lights, panting the night Guiding the legends A distant face but possessed a heart of gold, choosing for it to fall into silence What’s the point of spending your life painting with yourself, the faint ink and brush Both the shadow and the light remembers me The mountains have their trees and the trees have their branches, bits in the Song of the People of Yue 02:38 The passage with thousands of lights, panting the night Guiding the legends A distant face but possessed a heart of gold, choosing for it to fall into silence What’s the point of spending your life panting with yourself, the faint ink and brush Both the shadow and the light remembers me The mountains have their trees and the trees have their branches, bits in the Song of the People of Yue 03:21 The dim light fades on the surface, keeping the contract that lasts for an eternity

Actually, the Song of the People of Yue is a poem, the “The mountains have their trees and the trees have their branches” is half of the last sentence of this poem. The full last sentence actually means “The mountains have their trees and the trees have their branches, I love you but you never knew”. Yes, it is a love poem. I believe it is intended to represent Xiao’s hope of being able to understand and fit into the world of mortals, but he knows that he never will (cuz his karmic debt and traumas etc.)

@animeedit3707

I said the ‘People of Yue” is because “Yue” in here is actually a region in China in the past. The Song of the People of Yue would be better translated as the Song by a Person from Yue, but I chose the People of Yue because I thought it’ll be more fitting since I’d like to have a thin barrier of some sort to separate the world of Genshin from ours. In this case I would like to assume that it was sang by the People of Liyue, one to honour and understand one of their most important protectors, two Liyue in mandarin is Li Yue, the Yue is the some spelling and pronunciation with the Yue in here (but not the same in writing), so I just thought that it fits

If any of you are wondering, the poem of the Song of Yue (Song by the Person from Yue) means a girl having a crush on a prince, the girl was just a commoner who sails on a boat on a river, she had the luck of sailing with the prince, the prince had not looked down on her because of her status, so the girl had a crush on him, but she knows her dreams will not come true because of their differences. Again I am not a professional translator so I can’t guarantee you that it is exactly what it means but I tried my best
