寻不到花的折翼枯叶蝶
Searching for the flower's broken-winged, withered butterfly
永远也看不见凋谢
Forever unable to witness decay
江南夜色下的小桥屋檐
Under the night sky of Jiangnan, the small bridge and eaves
读不懂塞北的荒野
Cannot comprehend the wilds of the North
梅开时节因寂寞而缠绵
In the blossoming time, entangled by solitude
春归后又很快湮灭
Spring returns, then quickly fades away
独留我赏烟花飞满天
Leaving me to admire the fireworks filling the sky
摇曳后就随风飘远
Swaying, then drifting away with the wind
断桥是否下过雪
Did the broken bridge ever see snowfall?
我望着湖面
I gaze upon the surface of the lake
水中寒月如雪
The cold moon on the water shines like snow
指尖轻点融解
Fingers lightly tap, and it melts away
断桥是否下过雪
Did the broken bridge ever see the snow?
又想起你的脸
Again, I recall your face
若是无缘再见
If fate keeps us from meeting again
白堤柳帘垂泪好几遍
The white dam's willow curtains have shed tears many times
寻不到花的折翼枯叶蝶
Searching for the flower's broken-winged, wilted butterfly
永远也看不见凋谢
Forever unseen, the withering won't show
江南夜色下的小桥屋檐
Beneath the night shadow of Jiangnan, the small bridge and eaves
读不懂塞北的荒野
I can't decipher the wilderness of the north
梅开时节因寂寞而缠绵
In the season of blooming plums, entwined by loneliness,
春归后又很快湮灭
Spring returns, only to fade away swiftly.
独留我赏烟花飞满天
Leaving me to watch the fireworks fill the sky.
摇曳后就随风飘远
Swaying gently, then drifting far with the wind.
断桥是否下过雪
Has the broken bridge ever seen snow?
我望着湖面
I gaze upon the surface of the lake.
水中寒月如雪
The cold moon in the water, as white as snow.
指尖轻点融解
Fingertips lightly touch, melting away.
断桥是否下过雪
Has the broken bridge ever seen snow?
又想起你的脸
Once again, I recall your face.
若是无缘再见
If fate does not allow us to meet again,
白堤柳帘垂泪好几遍
The white-dike willows shed tears many times.
