遥远的夜空 有一个弯弯的月亮
In the distant night sky, there’s a crescent moon
弯弯的月亮下面 是那弯弯的小桥
Beneath the crescent moon, lies a curved little bridge
小桥的旁边 有一条弯弯的小船
Beside the little bridge, there's a meandering little boat
弯弯的小船悠悠 是那童年的阿娇
The swaying little boat gently carries my childhood sighs
呜 呜 呜 呜
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
阿娇摇着船 唱着那古老的歌谣
A-Jiao rocks the boat, singing that ancient lullaby
歌声随风飘呀 飘到我的脸上
The song drifts with the wind, brushing against my face
脸上淌着泪 像那条弯弯的河水
Tears flow down my cheeks, like that winding river water
弯弯的河水流啊 流进我的心上
The winding river flows, flowing into my heart
呜 呜 呜 呜
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
呜 呜 呜 呜
Oh oh oh oh
我的心充满惆怅
My heart is filled with melancholy
不为那弯弯的月亮
Not for that crescent moon
只为那今天的村庄
But for the village of today
还唱着过去的歌谣
Still singing the songs of the past
呜 故乡的月亮
Oh, the moon of my hometown
你那弯弯的忧伤
Your crescent sadness
穿透了我的胸膛
Pierced through my chest
呜 呜 呜 呜
Oh oh oh oh
遥远的夜空 有一个弯弯的月亮
In the distant night sky, there's a crescent moon
弯弯的月亮下面 是那弯弯的小桥
Under the curved moon, there lies a quaint little bridge
小桥的旁边 有一条弯弯的小船
Beside the bridge, there's a tiny boat that bends
弯弯的小船悠悠 是那童年的阿娇
The gentle little boat drifts on, echoing childhood's joys
呜 呜 呜 呜
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
呜 呜 呜 呜
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
