Rap Hu Tao in Chinese
Undoubtedly, the original version of the song received the most recognition from fans. There is an explanation for this: the accompaniment was created precisely to short Chinese words consisting of one or two syllables, so it turned out to be extremely difficult to keep the original rhythm in other languages. In addition, in the original voice acting, the characters and temperaments of the heroines are most accurately conveyed.
Here's how the lyrics of the rap sound in Chinese:
wo nai shi guang huan yu wei yi ao miao, gai shi jie di yi sang hou
shi ren jian wo jie bu shi, wo de qi hai xin zhong cang yu zhou
long pan hu ju, die xiu feng du, zhang san li si, ru bu fu chu
wu suo de gu, wu you kong bu
feng chen chu wei, yu zhou hong huang, mai du huan zhu
zhi yuan xing fang, she zhan qun ru, wen shuo chun qiang
Rap Hu Tao in Russian
Translation of the song into Russian, which appeared with subtitles in the cut-scene itself in the game:
Laying trails in the midnight sky
I'll light up the universe where you haven't been yet.
And let the sparks fly, watch the fireworks. The night has fallen.
The candle went out. Who am I?.. Your death!
I will beat rhymes to the funeral pyre for you.
Light a fire for you, moth, but I won't die.
I am your guide, ember, to the other side.

Rap Hu Tao in English
A wave of discontent from the players hit the English version of rap, because it didn’t work out to convey the original rhythm at all. However, neither localizers nor voice actors can be blamed for this, because when translated into English, words and sentences become much longer. In addition, in the English song, Hu Tao's voice sounded much softer and more tender than in the same original voice acting, which did not really fit into the concept of a rock concert.
Here is what the text of the English version of the rap looks like:
I'm up here blazin' trails through the midnight sky, lightin' up the world below
And when the crowds all hear my voice, they'll meet the spirit of rock n'roll
Let's go!
Hey you, butterfly
You too, buzzin' by
Guidin' your way
To the afterlife
Openin' the path without a fright
Oh!
I'll light the fire
watch it blaze
'cross the universe
I'll sleep my rhymes
watch your step
From you'll get burned!
