剑煮酒无味 饮一杯为谁
With a sword and wine, there's no flavor, who do I drink for?
你为我送别 你为我送别
You bid me farewell, you bid me farewell.
胭脂香味 能爱不能给
The scent of rouge, a love I cannot give.
天有多长 地有多远
How long is the sky, how far is the earth?
你是英雄 就注定无泪无悔
You are a hero, destined to shed no tears, no regrets.
这笑有多危险 是穿肠毒药
This smile is so dangerous, it's a poison through the veins.
这泪有多么美 只有你知道 这心没有你活著可笑
These tears are so beautiful, only you know, my heart laughs alone without you.
这一世英名我不要 只求换来红颜一笑 这一去如果还能轮回
In this life, I seek no fame, just a smile from your beauty; if I could still reincarnate after this departure.
我与你来世做牛马 也要与你天涯相随
In the next life, I'd serve alongside you, even as a beast of burden, roaming the ends of the earth together.
剑煮酒无味 饮一杯为谁
With a sword and wine, there's no flavor, who do I drink for?
你为我送别 你为我送别
You bid me farewell, you bid me farewell
胭脂香味 能爱不能给
The scent of rouge, love that can't be given
天有多长 地有多远
How long is the sky, how far is the earth
你是英雄 就注定无泪无悔
You are a hero, destined to shed no tears, have no regrets
这笑有多危险 是穿肠毒药
How dangerous this smile is, it's a poison that cuts deep
这泪有多么美 只有你知道 这心没有你活著可笑
How beautiful these tears are, only you know, this heart lives in vain without you
这一世英名我不要 只求换来红颜一笑 这一去如果还能轮回
In this life, I seek not fame, just a smile from the beauty; if I could reincarnate,
我与你来世做牛马 也要与你天涯相随
In the next life, let us be beasts of burden, still walking together through the ends of the earth
