  1. 清明的风 吹绿了你的胡同

    The clear spring wind has turned your lane green,

  2. 梨花雨 淋湿了书生的梦

    Pearl blossom rain soaks the scholar's dream,

  3. 树叶儿落头顶上秋雁呢哝

    Leaves fall, autumn geese murmur above my head,

  4. 城门外 没贴你名字

    Outside the city gate, your name isn’t posted,

  5. 风雪之中咳嗽

    Coughing in the wind and snow,

  6. 依偎在她胸口

    Nestled in her embrace,

  7. 你要离开 这清贫如水巷口

    You want to leave this humble, water-like alley,

  8. 走出后 不再回头

    After stepping out, never looking back,

  9. 她立春 她立秋

    She stands for spring, she stands for autumn,

  10. 她人比黄花瘦 霜白了头

    She’s thinner than the yellow flowers, frost whitening her hair.

  11. 先天下 后天下 黄金屋

    Before the world, after the world, a house of gold

  12. 颜如玉 百代忧愁

    Face like jade, a hundred generations of sorrow

  13. 红砖墙 老牌楼 琉璃瓦

    Red brick walls, an old brand tower, glazed tiles

  14. 已看透 却不开口

    I see through it all, yet I keep silent

  15. 沉默中 那情天 那泪海

    In silence, that sky of love, that sea of tears

  16. 爱和恨 转眼成空

    Love and hate turn to emptiness in the blink of an eye

  17. 它立春 它立秋 它荒芜

    It marks spring, it marks autumn, it lies in ruin

  18. 它重修 海棠依旧

    It rebuilds, the begonia still stands

  19. 先天下 后天下 黄金屋

    Before the world, after the world, a house of gold

  20. 颜如玉 沽一杯酒

    Face like jade, serve me a cup of wine

  21. 红砖墙 老牌楼 琉璃瓦

    Red brick walls, ancient towers, glazed tiles,

  22. 写着拆 却不开口

    Say 'tear down' yet refuse to speak,

  23. 它已走 那功名 那往事

    It has left, those honors and past tales,

  24. 那胡同恍然如梦已成空

    That alley feels like a dream turned to void.

  25. 她立春 她立秋

    She stands in spring, she stands in autumn,

  26. 她人比黄花瘦 霜白了头

    She is thinner than the yellow flower, hair frosted white,

  27. 先天下 后天下 黄金屋

    Before the world and after, the house of gold,

  28. 颜如玉 百代忧愁

    Her beauty like jade, carrying centuries of sorrow,

  29. 红砖墙 老牌楼 琉璃瓦

    Red brick walls, ancient towers, glazed tiles,

  30. 已看透 却不开口

    I see through it all, yet remain silent.

  31. 沉默中 那情天 那泪海

    In silence, that emotional sky, that sea of tears,

  32. 爱和恨 转眼成空

    Love and hate, in the blink of an eye, turn to nothing.

  33. 它立春 它立秋 它荒芜

    It welcomes spring, it greets autumn, it lies in ruin,

  34. 它重修 海棠依旧

    It rebuilds, the hawthorn blooms just the same.

  35. 先天下 后天下 黄金屋

    Before the world, after the world, a house of gold,

  36. 颜如玉 沽一杯酒

    With beauty like jade, let me pour a drink,

  37. 红砖墙 老牌楼 琉璃瓦

    Red brick walls, old archways, glazed tiles,

  38. 写着拆 却不开口

    Written to be broken, yet no words are spoken.

  39. 它已走 那功名 那往事

    It has departed, that fame, those memories,

  40. 那胡同恍然如梦已成空

    That alley feels like a dream, now turned to emptiness.
