So Hard to See You
Ku Wuji · AI Music · 3 reads
Inspired by Zhu Shuzhen's “To the Tune of Jiangchengzi: Enjoying Spring.” 斜风细雨作春寒，对尊前忆前欢；曾把梨花，寂寞泪阑干；芳草断烟南浦路，和别泪看青山。昨宵梦入水云间，悄无言；争奈醒来愁恨依然，展转衾裯空懊恼——天易见，见伊难。 Slanting wind and fine rain bring spring's chill; before my wine cup, I recall past joys. Once, holding pear blossoms, I wept lonely, streaming tears; along the Southern Shore road, amid fragrant grass and broken wisps of mist, I gazed at green mountains through parting tears. Last night I dreamed into a realm of water and clouds, silent and still; yet on waking, sorrow and regret remained, and I tossed beneath the covers in helpless anguish—the sky is easy to see, but seeing my beloved is hard. Male and female voices sing the same lyrics.
Slanting wind and fine rain blow a chill into spring
I gaze into my wine cup and think of the past

Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Last night I had a dream
In the dream, I came to a place between water and clouds
He stands right there
Neither of us said a word
There is so much I want to say
They form a string within my dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
Daybreak nudges me awake
Not one sorrow, not one regret has gone
[Chorus]
Slanting wind and fine rain blow a chill into spring
I gaze into my wine cup and think of the past
Once I watched the pear blossoms all night
Tears stream down and will not dry
Along the road to Nanpu, fragrant grass meets wisps of haze
Through tears I gaze at those green mountains
[Verse 2]
The quilt turns over and over
Sleep has been driven to the edge of the sky
Even the air is full of regret
I sighed more times than I could count
The window paper slowly pales
The birds sing so at ease
[Pre-Chorus]
Open the window and look at the sky
The sky is so easy to see
[Chorus]
Slanting wind and fine rain blow a chill into spring
I gaze into my wine cup and think of the past
Once I watched the pear blossoms all night
Tears stream down and will not dry
Along the road to Nanpu, fragrant grass meets wisps of haze
Through tears I gaze at those green mountains
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
It was a spring just like this long ago
He tilted his umbrella toward me
He says not one unnecessary word
Yet my heart trembled with sweetness
Back then I thought the days
Would join together, year after year
[Bridge]
Everyone says to lift your head
Then you can see the blue sky
But the person I wish to see
Even a single meeting grows harder still
We can see the sky every day
You appear only in dreams
Yet dreams are so stingy
Giving so little, so fleeting
[Verse 4]
Then let us have another cup
Warm the memories through and through
The pear blossoms have opened this year
So pure and delicate in their whiteness
If you enter my dreams again tonight
I'll stop crying, and say everything I have to say
[Final Chorus]
Slanting wind and fine rain blow a chill into spring
I gaze into my wine cup and think of the past
Once I watched the pear blossoms all night
Tears stream down and will not dry
Along the road to Nanpu, fragrant grass meets wisps of haze
Through tears I gaze at those green mountains
[Outro]
The slanting breeze still blows softly
见天容易见伊难 — It is easy to see the sky, but hard to see my beloved
