The lyrics of "The Story of the Stone" are as follows:
I have seen it all over the place, the cold wind blows and the falling snow gradually thickens, and my shoes are soaked through the broken road.
Looking at the green mountains in the distance and the weak willows with flying catkins, I once became drunk, sick and wasted away.
Listen to the ethereal music in the vast world, and people dance alone with their hair in disorder.
Throwing away the thoughts seems to be illusory and real, and the old dreams in the deep courtyard are resurrected.
I drink wine together with my whole heart on life and death, but I don’t know that the smile hides the traces of tears.
Though little calculations, the difference is too far.
Wandering around, turning into segments of mortal relationships.
There are many disturbances about getting married, and love changes in the spring night.
True and false, all the joys and sorrows are actually deception.
Though little calculations, the difference is too far.
Wandering around, turning into segments of mortal relationships.
There are many disturbances about getting married, and love changes in the spring night.
True and false, all the joys and sorrows are actually deception.
Listen to the ethereal music in the vast world, and people dance alone with their hair in disorder.
Throwing away the thoughts seems to be illusory and real, and the old dreams in the deep courtyard are resurrected.
I drink wine together with my whole heart to judge life and death, but I don’t know that the smile hides the traces of tears.
Though little calculations, the difference is too far.
Wandering around, turning into segments of mortal relationships.
There are many disturbances about getting married, and love changes in the spring night.
True or false, flowers, color, fragrance, all can be seen.

Song Appreciation:
"The Story of the Stone" is one of the very few Hong Kong pop music that can be called a masterpiece. The listener will not realize that this is a Hong Kong pop song, or even the dialect in which the lyrics are written. The song breaks away from geographical restrictions.
There are many highlights in the entire prelude of the song. The most exciting thing is the subtle dissonance caused by the double tone of the fourth in the main melody of the chorus played on the guitar. The whole song is just this little bit of dissonance that makes people chew and play over and over again. Even in the chorus where Huang Yaoming's fleshy voice dominates, this fourth-degree double tone is still clearly audible, which is obviously intentional during the mixing.
