The Song of the Dandelion

Returning home from afar. Perhaps mountains and rivers will obstruct the journey of life, and from then on, one will soar with the wind, drifting to the ends of the earth. This passage is derived from the second part, middle volume, chapter thirty-two of "The Record of the Fire Beacon Wanderer." After two years away from home, the protagonist Ziyue, who has weathered many storms with her younger sister, finally returns to her long-missed hometown, the Normandran Forest. When she sees her beloved father once again, the emotions that have accumulated in her heart for so long burst forth, filled with a touch of bitterness and boundless joy of reunion. Ziyue and her father sing this song of the wanderer in unison. From then on, leaving home, perhaps the wind and rain will scatter the child of the dandelion, taking root in foreign lands. Yet the sky will eventually grant it a pair of wings, carrying with it the longing.

Return to the homeland and set sail

Perhaps mountains and rivers will obstruct the return to life

From now on, soar with the wind

Wandering the ends of the earth

From now on, I will leave my home and family behind

Perhaps the wind and rain will scatter the seeds of the dandelion

Rooted in foreign soil

But the sky will eventually grant it a pair of wings

From now on, carrying the longing
