Genius English Translations
Lexie Liu - 佳人 Kappa Girl (English Translation)
[Chorus]
Qipao touches the floor, cut it off
Chinese girls, boss it up
I don’t want to see bright red lanterns hanging high in front of the entrance again
Qipao, cut it off
Chinese girls, boss it up
I don’t want to see bright red lanterns hanging high again

[Post-Chorus]
Bright red lanterns hanging high
Wearing qipao and stepping over every threshold
Bright red lanterns hanging high
Wearing qipao, the girl steps over every one of those thresholds

[Verse 1]
I use lacquer soot ink to make a sketch of you
Breaking rules in order to splash some color on your face for you
You get up and dance while reciting "glass easily breaks, and colorful clouds easily scatter"
It jumps out in your writing, no matter how many times you go back and start over
I'll let you decide
Destroyed all of the shackles
Baby, I do it like this now
Set it all on fire
Workin' day by day
Using my skills to the fullest serves as my decoration, there's no need to hide
Kappa girl, I got my own back
[Chorus]
Qipao touches the floor, cut it off
Chinese girls, boss it up
I don’t want to see bright red lanterns hanging high in front of the entrance again
Qipao, cut it off
Chinese girls, boss it up
I don’t want to see bright red lanterns hanging high again

[Post-Chorus]
Bright red lanterns hanging high
Wearing qipao and stepping over every threshold
Bright red lanterns hanging high
Wearing qipao, the girl steps over every one of those thresholds

[Verse 2]
Round silk fan, jade plate
"A beauty as beautiful as flowers is as far away from me as clouds at their great height"
I'll meet you on the flip side, flip side
Overloaded pocket, I spend it how I like it
I got my own back, yeah
I know you're watching me
Go up, ain't no stoppin'
Baby, I'mma start
Set it all on fire
A rebel rejecting mediocrity
Flames gather and the vast ocean trembles
Ain’t gonna do what you wish now
Half of the people among the rivers and mountains are remarkable
[Bridge]
"In the south there is a beauty, bearing features bright as the flowers of peaches and plums."
"In the north there is a beauty, peerless and independent."

[Chorus]
Qipao touches the floor, cut it off
Chinese girls, boss it up
I don’t want to see bright red lanterns hanging high in front of the entrance again
Qipao, cut it off
Chinese girls, boss it up
I don’t want to see bright red lanterns hanging high again

[Post-Chorus]
Bright red lanterns hanging high
Wearing qipao and stepping over every threshold
Bright red lanterns hanging high
Wearing qipao, the girl steps over every one of those thresholds
