I found another Chuyao fan song I like. This song from Qiao Chusheng's POV. Once again these are my own interpretation of the lyrics, if you have any questions please leave a comment. Thanks and enjoy!

Here's the link to the song video. Looks like the song video was taken down for some reason. So here's the link to just the song.

垚垚无期

[yao yao wu qi]

The indefinite future *

初次见你面，蓝色长衣惹人怜

[chu ci jian ni mian, lian se chang yi re ren liang]

When I first met you, your blue robes made you look pitiful

落拓不羁浅笑颜，动我心弦

[luo tuo bu ji qian xiao yan, dong wo xin xian]

Unruly light smile, moved my heart strings

那年天付良缘，你予我魂绕梦牵

[na nian tian fu liang yuan, ni yu wo hun rao meng qian]

That year fate brought us together, you made me dream of you

一颦一笑生惦念，思绪翩跹

[yi pin yi xiao sheng dian nian, si xu pian xian]

Every frown and smile make me worry, my thoughts flutter

自知生于晦暗泥泞中，妄与你并肩

[zi zhi sheng yu hui an ni ning zhong, wang yu ni bing jian]

I know I was born in the dark mud, preposterously standing by your side

小心翼翼缄口不言，耗尽力气顾影自怜

[xiao xin yi yi jian ko bu yan, hao jin li qi gu ying zi liang]

Cautiously and silently, exhausted, he pities himself

轻抬衣袖微启皓齿，胜寒日暖烟

[qing tai yi xiu wei qi hao chi, sheng han ri nuan yan]

Raising sleeves lightly and mouth open slightly, is better than warm smoke in winter

银河所隔，隔不断心田

[yin he suo ge, ge bu duan xin tian]

The Milky Way cannot separate our hearts

当非太平盛世，流转江湖中

[dang fei tai ping sheng shi, liu zhuan jiang hu zhong]

When the world is not at peace, circulate in Jiang Hu *

唯正义与斯，我命中之重

[wei zheng yi yu si, wo ming zhong zhi zhong]

Only justice and this, are important in my life

叹这乱世悲哀，我徒有悲恸

[tan zhe luan shi be ai, wo tu you bei tong]

Feeling sad, I sigh at the sorrows of this troubled world

只剩风去留，虚空

[zhi sheng feng to liu, xu kong]

Only the wind is left, a void

纵然前路艰辛，沉沦深陷

[zong ran qian lu jian xin, chen lu shen xian]

Even though the road ahead is hard, I sunk deep into it

只为你喜乐安歇

[zhi wei ni xi le an xie]

Just so you can happily rest

若光明为我加冕，前缘

[rou guang ming wei wo jia mian, qian yuan]

If the light crowned me, fate

黄埔江边月，皓月下熟悉侧脸

[huang pu jiang bian yue, hao yue xia shu xi ce lian]

A familiar side profile under the bright moon by the side of Huangpu River

你对我含笑直言，落寞难掩

[ni dui wo han xiao zhi yan, luo mo nan yan]

You smile and speak frankly to me, it was hard to hide my loneliness

也算只手遮天，到头来只有空羡

[ye suan zhi shou zhe tian, dao tou lai zhi you kong xian]

It can be considered as covering the sky with one hand, in the end there is only empty envy

如怀瑾握瑜的人，怎敢贪恋

[ru huai jin wo yu de ren, zen gan tan lian]

How dare I be greedy over someone so learned and virtuous

我曾想一生孑然一身，虽偶尔难眠

[wo ceng xiang yi sheng jie ran yi sheng, sui ou er nan mian]

I used to want to be alone all my life, even if it made me sleepless on occasion

你如光明降临人间，停留片刻转身泯灭

[ni ru guang ming jiang lin ren jian, ting liu pian ke zhuan shen min mie]

You are like light descending on the world, staying for a moment then turning around and disappearing

徒然留我一人原地，把往事眷恋

[tu ran liu wo yi ren yuan di, ba wang shi juan lian]

Suddenly leaving me alone, nostalgic for the past

次第花开，盼光风霁月

[ci di hua kai, pan guang feng ji yue]

One by one the flowers bloom, looking forward to the light and wind

不求流芳百世，只求你回眸

[bu qiu liu feng fang bai shi, zhi qiu ni hui mou]

I don’t ask to be remembered, I only ask for you to look back at me

纵私流横流，我护你无忧

[zong si liu heng liu, wo hu ni wu you]

The world is corrupt, I’ll protect you, so you can be without worry

来生磊落轶荡，再与你白首

[lai sheng lei lui yi dang, zai yu ni bai shou]

In the next life I’ll be honest and grow old with you

今生莫相忘，可否

[jing sheng mo xiang wang, ke fou]

Can we not forget about each other in this lifetime?

如若山河无恙，你在身旁

[ru rou shang he wu yang, ni zai shen bian]

If the mountains and rivers are all right, you are by my side

以命相抵又何妨

[yi ming xiang di you he fang]

I’m willing to put my life on the line

望一生清澈明朗，安康

[wang yi sheng qing che ming lang, an kang]

Hope that life is clear, bright and healthy

初次见你面，蓝色长衣惹人怜

[chu ci jian ni mian, lian se chang yi re ren liang]

When I first met you, your blue robes made you look pitiful

落拓不羁浅笑颜，动我心弦

[luo tuo bu ji qian xiao yan, dong wo xin xian]

Unruly light smile, moved my heart strings

那年天付良缘，你予我魂绕梦牵

[na nian tian fu liang yuan, ni yu wo hun rao meng qian]

That year fate brought us together, you made me dream of you

一颦一笑生惦念，思绪翩跹

[yi pin yi xiao sheng dian nian, si xu pian xian]

Every frown and smile make me worry, my thoughts flutter

The video has some spoken dialogue at the end. The dialogue is only in the video and not in the song. I translated those lines as well.

如果有下辈子

[ru guo you xia bei zi]

If there is a next life

希望我可以堂堂正正的站在你面前

[xi wang wo ke yi tang tang zheng zheng de zhan zai ni mian qian]

I hope I can stand upright in front of you

没有错中复杂的身份

[mei you cuo zhong fu za de shen fen]

Without complicated backgrounds

没有世人异样的眼光

[mei you shi ren yi yang de yan guang]

Without judgmental looks from the world

我可以光明真大的告诉你

[wo ke yi guang min zheng da de gao su ni]

I can tell you openly

我爱你

[wo ai ni]

I love you

*The title of the song 垚垚无期 [yao yao wu qi] is actually a play on words. The actual phrase meaning 'the indefinite future' is 遥遥无期 [yao yao wu qi]. They changed out the character 遥 [yao] for 垚 [yao] because Lu Yao's name in Chinese is 路垚。

*Jiang Hu is a term used in Wuxia to refer to the community of martial artists. In the show and in real life it could also refer to the criminal underworld, which Qiao Chusheng is a part of.
