柔情冷看千夫指
Softly gazing coldly at the pointing fingers of the crowd,
目 光 未 横 视 身 边 的 女 子
Eyes not wandering to the women beside me,
心 中 只 想 着 你 这 段 情
In my heart, only thoughts of you and this love,
还 没 问 必 需 分 开 多 少 次 多 少 次
Haven't yet asked how many times we must part, how many times,
若 非 断 肠 事 不 唱 饮 血 诗
If not for heartbreak, I wouldn't sing a blood-red song,
分 开 不 说 恨 意
Parting without speaking of hate,
到 别 时 谁 知 流 浪 天 涯
Who knows at goodbye the wanderings across the world,
只 想 千 里 再 遇
I only wish to meet again a thousand miles away,
泪 眼 看 世 事
With tearful eyes gazing at the affairs of the world,
面 对 千 夫 指
Facing the pointed fingers of the crowd.
未 可 改 变 心 中 那 片 痴
What can change the desire in my heart?
绵 绵 情 与 意
Endless feelings and thoughts,
年 年 月 月 相 思
Year after year, month after month, longing.
离 去 也 许 会 更 意 义
Perhaps leaving brings more meaning.
还 为 着 一 个 情 字
Still holding on to a word of love.
忘 掉 你 哪 有 意 义
What significance is there in forgetting you?
若 非 断 肠 事 不 唱 饮 血 诗
Unless heartbreak sings a blood-stained song.
分 开 不 说 恨 意
Separated without expressing hatred.
到 别 时 谁 知 流 浪 天 涯
Who knows the wandering at farewell?
只 想 千 里 再 遇
I only wish to meet again across a thousand miles.
泪 眼 看 世 事
Tears in my eyes, I behold the world
面 对 千 夫 指
Facing the finger of a thousand critics
未 可 改 变 心 中 那 片 痴
It may not change the love that lingers in my heart
绵 绵 情 与 意
Endless feelings and thoughts
年 年 月 月 相 思
Year after year, month after month, I long for you
离 去 也 许 会 更 意 义
Perhaps leaving will hold more meaning
还 为 着 一 个 情 字
Still holding onto one word: love
忘 掉 你 哪 有 意 义
Forgetting you, where's the meaning in that?
年 年 月 月 相 思
Year after year, month after month, I long for you
离 去 也 许 会 更 意 义
Perhaps leaving will hold more meaning
还 为 着 一 个 情 字
Still for the sake of one word, love,
忘 掉 你 哪 有 意思
What meaning is there in forgetting you?
