Vidrec and translation question (Guardian OST)

[mekare]

1 Hey everyone, I watched a comparison video of novel vs drama today which I found really helpful. In this video it is explained that during pre-production the show had a lot of money and they got the best composers for Cdrama for the soundtrack. Which brings me to my next question:

2 I am thinking of writing a meta post on Guardian's music. I got the soundtrack on iTunes (19 tracks) and am listening constantly. Unfortunately all track names (as well as artist's names) are in Chinese. Are these translations accurate? Right in the first track which is sung by Bai Yu and Zhu Yilong they translate the characters for Bai Yu's name as "white" (which I know is technically true for his family name but not helpful?) I’d appreciate any input!

In my internet travels today I ended up going down a Bai Yu/Zhu Yilong singing rabbit hole and thought it would be helpful fodder for your post.

Here's a vid of the outro that has Chinese characters/pinyin/English

And here is an AWFUL video about another Guardian-themed song that the actors are singing. In the description there is Chinese characters/pinyin/English. And can I just say? The main verse is, "Flying together across time" ok.

Needless to say, it's been an emotional day.

I have a tag for this in my journal: 'the perils of fandom'
