Love Before Time, from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

I was listening to the soundtrack the other day, and this song struck me as rather Zelinky, so, here ye be


A Love Before Time
Performed By CoCo Lee

Music by Jorge Calandrelli & Tan Dun Lyric by James Schamus
from: Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon


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 before 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.

Oh my gosh! I remember this song! I haven't heard it in forever...!

Egads, I never noticed how Zelinky this song was either!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING =D I so Happy now.

Yes! Let the Zelinkyness flow forth and fill the world with joy!

More Zelinkiness in here.

Moonlight Lover
(Chinese version of A Love Before Time)

I awaken, lying in the moonlight
The waning moon makes me think of you
Who understands my desire, never to awaken?
Fearing that when I open my eyes
You will not be there

My love's heart sinks into the ocean
Lead me there to find it once again
Please love me ten thousand years
Love with your heart

[Love is a gift of moonlight]
[I await an angel's love letter]
[Tell me you love me]
For love's sake, I wish to sink deep in sleep
Never to awaken

Does eternity exist?
It is my heart that cannot let go
North Star, lead me on my way
Don't hide, seek out my love

I love you, every night I wait for you
For love's sake, my heart sleeps in a sea of moonlight
Lonely me
Who knows of whom I am thinking?

[I shed my tears beneath the moonlight]
[I sink into sleep beneath the moonlight]
[Without regret]
Waiting to be awakened by the kiss of my true love

[A night in my dreaming sleep]
[Is also a year in my memory]
[Tell me you love me]
For love's sake, I wish to sink deep in sleep
Forever

I love that song! Both versions..... *sigh* My true love is waiting for me.... and I am waiting for him...

Hah... I WISH someone were waiting for me, though I am a bit young...

Great Song!!! Never paid much attention to it before, but it's way Zelinky. Let's spread the....uhhhh..... Zelinkyness all over the world!!!

PPS: I don't think Zelinkyness is a word...

It is now! Wow gr33n_sl33ves! Very Zelinky. This part:
If the years take away
Every memory that I have
I would still know the way
That would lead me back to your side.
reminded me of how Link in OoT got sent back in time and went back to Zelda.
This part:
When the forest turns to jade
And the stories that we've made.
Dissolve away
One shining light will still remain.
is like when the time of TP comes (the forests were a jade color ) , and their stories of love are gone, they will still love each other. Also, it's like everytime that a new Zelda and Link emerge, the love from the past life is still there, hidden, but still there.
As the earth reclaims its due,
And the cycle starts anew,
We'll stay, always
In the love that we have
Shared before time.

DH, that song is like when Zelda is waiting for seven years for her hero. it's perfect for that. Also, there are some parts that could be in TP when Zelda sits by the window looking out, waiting. She might have already loved link. Who knows?
I love you, every night I wait for you
For love's sake, my heart sleeps in a sea of moonlight
Lonely me
Who knows of whom I am thinking?
this part:
I awaken, lying in the moonlight
The waning moon makes me think of you
Who understands my desire, never to awaken?
Fearing that when I open my eyes
You will not be there
is like when Zelda and Midna are together and when zelda opens her eyes (in her own body), she might not see link, he might be dead...

Good job, both of you!
