痛别离 惜分飞
Painful farewell, cherishing the flight apart,
缘份一朝忍心抛弃
Fate, in a moment, can heartlessly cast aside.
往日情未泯
The past love still lingers,
泣咽凄声怨苍天太狠
Crying softly, mournfully blaming the heavens for being so cruel.
鸟倦还 影孤单
The tired bird returns, its shadow alone,
无奈美梦顷刻吹散
Helplessly, beautiful dreams are blown away in an instant.
往日情未泯
The past love still lingers,
泣咽凄声怨苍天太狠
Crying softly, mournfully blaming the heavens for being so cruel.
暴雨中 相亲相与共
In the storm, together, we stand side by side,
梦已空 太匆匆
Dreams have vanished, oh, so hurriedly.
泪暗涌 偷偷心底送
Tears surge, secretly from my heart
遍地红叶与秋风
Crimson leaves scattered with the autumn wind
再会难 呼不返
Parting is hard, can't return
寒夜对月几番嗟叹
On this cold night, how many times I sigh at the moon
往日情未泯
Past affections have not faded
泣咽凄声怨苍天太狠
Weeping cries lament, the heavens are too cruel
鸟倦还 影孤单
Birds weary, shadows all alone
无奈美梦顷刻吹散
Helpless, beautiful dreams scatter in an instant
往日情未泯
Past affections have not faded
泣咽凄声怨苍天太狠
Weeping cries lament, the heavens are too cruel
暴雨中 相亲相与共
In the torrential rain, we embrace each other close
梦已空 太匆匆
The dream has faded, too hastily
泪暗涌 偷偷心底送
Tears surge secretly, sent from the depths of my heart
遍地红叶与秋风
The ground is strewn with red leaves and autumn winds
再会难 呼不返
Parting is hard, never to return
寒夜对月几番嗟叹
On this cold night, I sigh under the moon countless times
往日情未泯
The feelings of the past have not vanished
泣咽凄声怨苍天太狠
With sobbing cries, I blame the heavens for being too cruel
