长夜空虚使我怀旧事
Endless night’s emptiness brings memories to mind,
明月朗相对念母亲
Under the bright moon, I think of my mother,
父母亲爱心柔善像碧月
Parents’ love is gentle and kind, like the azure moon,
怀念怎不悲莫禁
Why does longing bring sorrow, I can't hold it back,
长夜空虚枕冷夜半泣
Endless night's emptiness, cold pillow at midnight, I weep,
遥路远碧海示我心
Distant roads, the vast blue sea reveals my heart,
父母亲爱心柔善像碧月
Parents’ love is gentle and kind, like the azure moon,
常在心里问何日报
I often问 in my heart, when will I repay,
亲恩应该报
The kindness of my parents should be repaid,
应该识取孝道
I should understand the way of filial piety.
唯独我离别 无法慰亲旁
Only I am apart, unable to comfort near ones.
轻弹曲韵梦中送
Lightly strumming melodies, sending dreams away.
长夜空虚枕冷夜半泣
Long nights empty, the pillow cold, weeping at midnight.
遥路远碧海示我心
Distant roads and vast seas reveal my heart.
父母亲爱心柔善像碧月
Parents' love, gentle and tender like the blue moon.
常在心里问何日报
Always in my heart, I ask when will I repay.
长夜空虚使我怀旧事
Long nights empty make me nostalgic for the past.
明月朗相对念母亲
Bright moon, I gaze and think of my mother.
父母亲爱心柔善像碧月
Parents' love, gentle and tender like the blue moon.
怀念怎不悲莫禁
How can I not feel sorrow when I miss you?
长夜空虚枕冷夜半泣
In the long night, I weep on a cold pillow, empty and alone.
遥路远碧海示我心
Distant roads and the blue sea reveal my heart.
父母亲爱心柔善像碧月
Parents' love is gentle and kind, like the azure moon.
常在心里问何日报
I often wonder in my heart, when will I repay this?
亲恩应该报
The kindness of family should be repaid.
应该识取孝道
One should recognize the path of filial duty.
唯独我离别 无法慰亲旁
Only I have departed, unable to comfort my loved ones nearby.
轻弹曲韵梦中送
Gently strumming melodies, sending off dreams.
长夜空虚枕冷夜半泣
In the long night, I weep on a cold pillow, empty and alone.
遥路远碧海示我心
Distant roads and the blue sea reveal my heart.
父母亲爱心柔善像碧月
Parents' love is gentle as the azure moon,
常在心里问何日报
Always in my heart I ask, when will I repay?
