  1. 西

    Beneath the moon in the western chamber,

  2. 迎风

    The window opens halfway to the breeze,

  3. 花影

    The shadow of flowers sways through the wall,

  4. I suspect the fair one is near,

  5. 聚散一杯

    Joy and sorrow shared in a cup of wine,

  6. 南北东西里程

    From north to south, from east to west, a journey of miles,

  7. Azure clouds above, golden leaves below,

  8. 南飞

    Northern geese fly south, who dyes the frosty woods at dawn?

  9. 总是

    It's always the tears of those who part,

  10. 呼吸 你的

    I breathe you in, worry for your gloom.

  11. Hate you with longing, waiting endlessly,

  12. 假的 真的

    Love is a lie, but the tears are real.

  13. 触摸 只有自己

    I reach for you, only myself remains.

  14. 美景奈何

    A beautiful morning, what a cruel fate.

  15. 乐事谁家

    Whose courtyard hosts these joyful moments?

  16. 今年二八

    This year I'm already twenty-eight.

  17. Yet I haven't met the one who brings me glory.

  18. 春情

    Suddenly yearning for spring's affection,

  19. How can I be a guest in the moon palace?

  20. 偶然间 梅树

    By chance, my heart lingers near the plum tree.

  21. 花花草草

    These flowers and grass held in our embrace,

  22. 生生死死

    Life and death follow the will of the heart.

  23. 便酸酸楚楚无人

    So sweet and sorrowful, yet no one laments,

  24. 你会

    If I say this, will you shed a tear?

  25. 知道 下去

    Had I known, would I still play the part?

  26. 死了

    Dying once more, making mistakes again,

  27. 哪个 哪个

    Which one is you, which one is me?

  28. 呼吸

    I breathe you in, loving what you love,

  29. Hating the hate, waiting for what I crave,

  30. 假的 真的

    What is false, what is true?

  31. 触摸 只有自己

    I touch you, it's just myself.
