Truly a song to never forget and always the movie is truly moving and has a great story line and love triangle. The song play an important role with the story line and it's something to truly enjoy non-the-less thank you for putting this on youtube!

[tiborvivi]

It's not "beauty", but beautiful song....

[Compas333]

@tiborvivi this is "The Beauty Song" :)

[ToIKin10to1]

Based of a poem by Li Yannian, a Han dynasty poet about a beautiful woman who brings nothing but trouble and pain to men :) - Wikipedia.

the Xahlee translation -

In the north there is a beauty; surpassing the world, she stands alone.

A glance from her will overthrow a city; another glance will overthrow a nation.

One would rather not know whether it will be a city or nation overthrown.

As it would be hard to see a beauty like this again.

[Thespiriticlan]

thank youuuuuu now i'm happy :3

I love this great movie. Zhang Yimou is one of the world's greatest directors. This "Beauty Song" and echo dance by Ziyi Zhang was amazing. She's an incredible actress, beautiful, charming, intense, so intelligent, as well as a great dancer and martial arts fighter. Thanks for posting!

[bigkittysmile]

nothing greater than a chinese epic with trad music.

[M1shapps]

How come your video is shown on YouTube when I made mine it is blocked everywhere due to copyright ,& the video is Jia Ren Qu (audio only)

[oriramu]

Rare beauty in the North...

She's the finest lady on earth

A glance from her, the city falls

A second glance leaves the whole nation in ruins

There is no city or nation that has been

More cherished than a beauty like this

[kylladmarcena]

do u have a site for the lyrics. the lyrics u have?

[CucNamCham]

i think Chinese Music Store They have it - and not cost Much i think ! kylladmarcena !

[CucNamCham]

Oh ! kylladmarcena ! they had it in here ! You read Chinese ? i don ' t know how to read but i like The Madarin Sound - very nice to hear it ! special the Girl dancing ..

[poppysmick]

Rare beauty in the North...

She's the finest lady on earth

A glance from her, the city falls

A second glance leaves the whole nation in ruins

There is no city or nation that has been

More cherished than a beauty like this .. <3 Great movie!

[tommyk1347]

what a song!

I wish i can learn Mandarin - the meaning behind the words are beautiful!

[CucNamCham]

tommyk1347 - i think very hard to learn to write Madarin but speak not hard if we really want to learn right ? first just need look up for those words we want to say and say it more often until remember it and learn another words right ?

[cherokyle]

[sablaxiii]

one of the best song ever...and a movie with a lot of romance

[ToiYeuDatNuocCuaMinh]

oh sorry theres Eng lyric at end ,my connection slow at the moment :)

[ToiYeuDatNuocCuaMinh]

So whats the translation of the Chinese lyrics to English? I be interested in knowing. Does it does something like this??... I go bath in a pond, cleaning myself all day long...while he is perving on me.I pretend to be blind but I aint blind ,I can see see see u stalkin me secretly in the bush I can see ,stop looking at me.

[DeadOfTheWonderland]

The translation is something like this:

Rare beauty in the North...

She's the finest lady on earth

A glance from her, the city falls

A second glance leaves the whole nation in ruins

There is no city or nation that has been

More cherished than a beauty like this

[LeelayStar]

lol that kinda made me giggle

[jnladnier]

What is the musical insrument playing in this song. I have been racking my brain. In the beginning of the movie with the fight scene an old man is playing this, some kind of stringed instrument. Anyone know the name of it?

[Krummablod]

Yep, it's called "er hu".

[insomniac1122]

viola? perhaps...+

[macyair]

It's played on a chinese instrument, the erhu.

[cuteboi999]

this song makes me feel so carm its so wonderful to lislin to it on a stressful day

[pabloo900]

[siuyutlong]

house of flying daggers-read the title next time will ya.

[lexii750]

this is my favorite song

[GladRags]

I've just finished watching this film, and tell me that I suck, but this film is wonderful and touching. And this song is just perfect!!!!!

[HayleeHalogenX]

This was one of the most visually stunning films I have ever seen, and this song captures it beautifully.

Ziyi Zhang has a way of lighting up the silver screen.

[oneviwatara]

@HayleeHalogenX I do agree but I also think they should have given her an Oscar for her amazing acting.

[JoshuaH88]

@HayleeHalogenX

The Banquet 2006 is also very beautiful. A story with a finish ever so elegant

[MrFunnyEd]

@HayleeHalogenX you should try and find Curse of the Golden flower, its done in a similar style and is very visually stunning

[HayleeHalogenX]

@MrFunnyEd Ooh la la! *gies to search* thank you!

[SESZKA1986]

Zhang Yimou DIRECTOR of this FILM. Thank you God. bless this men for hes imagination and for film that he made.

[WindCompass13]

北方有佳人 絕世而獨立

ㄧ顧傾人城 再顧傾人國

寧不知傾城與傾國

佳人難在得

[TsukiSan3]

A rare beauty in the north, she's the finest lady on earth.

A glance from her, the whole city falls; a second glance leaves the whole nation in ruins.

There exists no city or nation, that has been more cherished

Than a beauty like this.

[anjo403]

[RossclartRETROGRADE]

Btw..

at the end of the video.

Your translation is different to the actual film but it's like the words do it more justice :)

is that a more accurate translation?

[MsInferno]

The person I know who translated it for me though it would be better for it to be in these words instead of the words used in film.

[RossclartRETROGRADE]

I love this song.

And the ending is so sad.

Although.

With the adverts.

I was expecting a whole lot more death, blood, mystery and dagger flinging in bamboo forests. D:

Still one of my fave movies and a work of art when Wind and Leo battle in the snow. ^_^

[AZRA69123]

I adore this song...so many emotions...

[az19all]

i love this song good vid effort too

here are the lyrics in chinese

(běi) 方(fāng) 有(yǒu) 佳(jiā) 人(rén)， 絕(jué) 世(shì) 而(ér) 獨(dú) 立(lì)。 一(yí) 顧(gù) 傾(qīng) 人(rén) 城(chéng)， 再(zài) 顧(gù) 傾(qīng) 人(rén) 國(guó)。 寧(nìng) 不(bù) 知(zhī) 傾(qīng) 城(chéng) 與(yǔ) 傾(qīng) 國(guó)。 佳(jiā) 人(rén) 難(nán) 再(zài) 得(dé)。

[BalletBoy007]

The words translate into:

A rare beauty in the north, she's the finest lady on earth.

A glance from her, the whole city falls; a second glance leaves the whole nation in ruins.

There exists no city or nation, that has been more cherished

Than a beauty like this.
