What a beautiful tribute to 李白. I really admire his free spirit and extraordinary talent, and you sang this song so beautifully. I’m so glad 王莹 wrote such a beautiful song about him.

“谪仙” literally means an immortal banished from Heaven to the mortal world. In this song, it refers specifically to the great Tang poet Li Bai (李白), who was famously known as 谪仙人 the “Banished Immortal.” The song is essentially a celebration of him—his extraordinary poetic talent, free spirit, love of wine, swordsmanship, charisma, and almost otherworldly presence. 玉袍长剑堪风流，山川不念旧 Yù páo cháng jiàn kān fēng liú, shān chuān bù niàn jiù In jade robes with a long sword, he is the very image of romantic freedom, wandering mountains and rivers without clinging to the past. 赋诗为狂也无有愁 Fù shī wéi kuáng yě wú yǒu chóu He writes poetry with wild abandon, seemingly untouched by sorrow. 称谪仙，瑶宫难留 Chēng zhé xiān, yáo gōng nán liú They call him the Banished Immortal—even the celestial palace could not keep him. 去凡间红楼斗酒 Qù fán jiān hóng lóu dòu jiǔ So he descends to the mortal world, drinking and competing in wine within its splendid towers. 多情眸，落墨诗卷又几斗 Duō qíng móu, luò mò shī juàn yòu jǐ dǒu With passionate eyes, he puts brush to scroll and pours out volumes of poetry. 斟世间最烈的酒 Zhēn shì jiān zuì liè de jiǔ He fills his cup with the strongest wine in the mortal world. 卧长安巍巍高楼 Wò Cháng’ān wēi wēi gāo lóu He reclines high above Chang’an in its magnificent towers. 看尽天下何人可似他无忧 Kàn jìn tiān xià hé rén kě sì tā wú yōu Looking across all beneath Heaven—who else could live as freely and carefree as he?
