踩不完恼人舞步
Endless steps of the troublesome dance
喝不尽醉人醇酒
Never-ending sips of intoxicating wine
良夜有谁为我留
On this fine night, who will stay for me?
耳边语轻柔
Whispers gentle by my ear
走不完红男绿女
Never-ending parade of vibrant souls
看不尽人海沉浮
Eyes can't take in the rise and fall of the crowd
往事有谁为我诉
Who will share my past stories?
空对华灯愁
Gazing at the glowing lanterns, lost in sorrow
我也曾陶醉 在两情相悦
I've also been enchanted in a mutual delight
像飞舞中的彩蝶
Like a butterfly dancing in the air
我也曾心碎 于黯然离别
I too have had my heart broken by a sorrowful goodbye
哭倒在露湿台阶
Crying on the damp steps under the dew
红灯将灭酒也醒
The red light fades, and the wine awakens
此刻该向它告别
At this moment, it's time to bid farewell
曲终人散 回头一瞥
As the music ends and people disperse, I glance back
嗯 最后一夜
Eh-eh, the final night
我也曾陶醉 在两情相悦
I too have been lost in the bliss of mutual love
像飞舞中的彩蝶
Like dancing butterflies in flight
我也曾心碎 于黯然离别
I too have had my heart broken by a sorrowful goodbye
哭倒在露湿台阶
Crying on the damp steps under the dew
红灯将灭酒也醒
The red light is fading, and the wine awakens.
此刻该向它告别
At this moment, it's time to say goodbye.
曲终人散 回头一瞥
When the music ends, and the people disperse, I glance back.
嗯 最后一夜
Hmm, the final night.
我也曾心碎 于黯然离别
I too have felt my heart shatter at a sorrowful farewell.
哭倒在露湿台阶
Crying on the damp steps.
红灯将灭酒也醒
The red light is fading, and the wine awakens.
此刻该向它告别
At this moment, it's time to say goodbye.
曲终人散回头一瞥
When the music ends and people disperse, I glance back.
嗯 最后一夜
Hmm, the final night.
