日出又日落 深处再深处
Sunrise and sunset, deep in the depths again
一张小方桌有一荤一素
A small square table, one dish with meat and one without
一个身影从容地忙忙碌碌
A figure busily tending to everything with ease
一双手让这时光有了温度
A pair of hands gives warmth to this fleeting time
太年轻的人他总是不满足
The young are never truly satisfied
固执地不愿停下远行的脚步
Stubbornly refusing to pause their journey
望著高高的天 走了长长的路
Gazing at the high sky, walking a long road
忘了回头看她有没有哭
Forgetting to look back to see if she has cried
月儿明 风儿轻
The moon is bright, the breeze is soft
可是你在敲打我的窗棂?
But you are knocking on my window?
听到这儿你就别担心
Don't worry when you hear this part
其实我过的还可以
Actually, I'm doing quite alright
月儿明 风儿轻
The moon is bright, the breeze is light
你又可曾来过我的梦里?
Have you ever been in my dreams?
一定是你来时太小心
You must have been too careful when you came
知道我睡得轻
Knowing I sleep so lightly
太年轻的人他总是不满足
The young are always unsatisfied
固执地不愿停下远行的脚步
Stubbornly refusing to pause their journey
望著高高的天 走了长长的路
Gazing up at the vast sky, I've walked a long road
忘了回头看她有没有哭
Forgetting to look back to see if she cried
月儿明 风儿轻
The moon is bright, the breeze is light,
可是你在敲打我的窗棂?
But are you knocking on my window tonight?
听到这儿你就别担心
Once you hear this, you need not fear,
其实我过的还可以
For I've been doing just fine here.
月儿明 风儿轻
The moon is bright, the breeze is light,
你又可曾来过我的梦里?
Have you ever wandered into my dreams at night?
一定是你来时太小心
You must have come with such caution,
知道我睡得轻
Knowing I sleep so lightly, just like a fawn.
一定是你来时太小心
You must have come with such caution,
怕我再想起你
Afraid I'd remember you with longing all along.
