A Love Before Time (english) Lyrics
If the sky opened up for me,
And the mountains disappeared,
If the seas ran dry ,turned to dust
And the sun refused to rise
I would still find my way,
By the light I see in your eyes.
The world I know fades away
But you stay.
As the earth reclaims its due,
And the cycle starts anew,
We'll stay ,always
In the love that we have
Shared befored time.
If the years take away
Every memory that I have
I would still know the way
That would lead me back to your side.
The North star may die
But the light that I see in your eyes
Will burn there always
Lit by the love we have
Shared before time.
When the forest turns to jade
And the stories that we've made.
Dissolve away
One shining light will still remain.
When we shed our earthly skin,
And when our real life begins,
There'll be no shame
Just the love that we have made before time.
And the mountains disappeared,
If the seas ran dry ,turned to dust
And the sun refused to rise
I would still find my way,
By the light I see in your eyes.
The world I know fades away
But you stay.
And the cycle starts anew,
We'll stay ,always
In the love that we have
Shared befored time.
Every memory that I have
I would still know the way
That would lead me back to your side.
The North star may die
But the light that I see in your eyes
Will burn there always
Lit by the love we have
Shared before time.
And the stories that we've made.
Dissolve away
One shining light will still remain.
And when our real life begins,
There'll be no shame
Just the love that we have made before time.

Woohoo! Translated to cheesy lyrics, but yet still Oscar-nominated! I love CoCo, but this song was not meant to ever go mainstream for her (even though I hoped). "A Love Before Time" brings back memories because I called up a DJ in Michigan and got into a fight with him cos he wouldn't play CoCo's song (because "he never heard of her."). What a punk he was, but still.. I was a devoted CoCo fan at the time and wanted to her any song released as a radio single by Sony on the radio!
Thank God it never took off! The movie was bad enough! ever seen Kung fu that slow?! and a story line that ridiculous? Only ignorant westerners would be impressed on the context of 'ooh, its so ASIAN!' my foot.
No one has any idea as to what this song means? I know it alludes to the film's themes of love, but who is it actually about? Jen and Lo? Li Mu Bai and Shu Lien?
