山岚飘去山坳下 潺潺野溪
Mountain mist drifts down into the valleys, where streams gently flow,
雏菊迎风在摇曳
Daisies sway gracefully in the breeze,
淮南王在此写下一页传奇
The King of Huai Nan writes a legendary page here,
关于豆腐的秘密
About the secrets of tofu,
一派宁静的这里 豆腐浓郁的香气
In this tranquil place, the rich aroma of tofu fills the air,
飘在寻常巷弄里
Drifting through the ordinary alleys,
这是我所深爱的豆乡 永不放弃
This is my beloved bean town, a place I’ll never forsake,
是史册从无记载的梦境
A dream that history has never recorded,
你的声音听见爱情
Your voice resonates with love,
这得道成仙如浮云
This ascendance to immortality is like floating clouds.
名利成灰烬 爱已飘零
Fame and fortune turned to ashes, love has drifted away.
谁能够为我解释这命运?
Who can explain this destiny for me?
这古镇斑驳老墙爬满了绿
In this ancient town, the weathered walls are covered in green.
树下有人在下棋
Under the tree, someone plays chess.
这世外桃源有你 故事落笔
In this paradise, with you, the story begins to unfold.
我比谁都要入戏
I immerse myself in the scene more than anyone else.
红尘缘分如牧笛 声声思念隔距离
Our ties in the mortal realm are like a shepherd's flute, each note a longing across the distance.
想你落泪被默许
Missing you brings tears, quietly accepted.
人在水墨如画的故里 轻轻叹息
In the ink-wash painting of my hometown, I softly sigh.
你是我越沉越浓的回忆
You are the deepening memory that I cherish more and more.
你的声音听见爱情
Your voice hears the call of love
这得道成仙如浮云
This is a path to immortality like a floating cloud
名利成灰烬 爱已飘零
Fame and fortune turn to ashes, love has drifted away
谁能够为我解释这命运?
Who can explain this fate to me?
你的叮咛听见爱情
Your reminders hear the call of love
是千年一豆的宿命
It's the destiny of a thousand-year-old bean
繁华都归零 你在安静
All the splendor returns to nothing, you are at peace
我誓等生根发芽的真心
I vow to await the true heart that takes root and blooms
名利成灰烬 爱已飘零
Fame and fortune turn to ashes, love has drifted away
谁能够为我解释这命运?
Who can explain this fate to me?
