  1. 窗透初晓 日照西桥 云自摇

    The window awakens at dawn, sunlight graces the west bridge, clouds gently sway.

  2. 想你当年荷风微摆的衣角

    I remember the hem of your dress fluttering in the soft breeze of summer.

  3. 木雕流金 岁月涟漪 七年前封笔

    The wooden carvings glimmer, time ripples, seven years since I set my pen down.

  4. 因为我今生挥毫只为你

    For this life, I wield my brush only for you.

  5. 雨打湿了眼眶 年年倚井盼归堂

    The rain has blurred my eyes, year after year, leaning by the well, longing for your return.

  6. 最怕不觉泪已拆两行

    Most afraid of not noticing, tears have already formed two lines.

  7. 我在人间彷徨 寻不到你的天堂

    I wander in this world, unable to find your paradise.

  8. 东瓶西镜放 恨不能遗忘

    East vase, west mirror set aside, how I wish I could forget you.

  1. 又是清明雨上 折菊寄到你身旁

    Once more, clear and bright, the rains arrive, I send chrysanthemums to your side.

  2. 把你最爱的歌来轻轻唱

    Let me gently sing your favorite song.

  3. 远方有琴 愀然空灵 声声催天雨

    In the distance, a zither plays, ethereal and clear, each note calling down the rain from the sky.

  4. 涓涓心事说给自己听

    Whispers of my heart I share only with myself.

  5. 月影憧憧 烟火几重 烛花红

    Moonlight dances, fireworks unfold in layers, candlelight flickers in red.

  6. 红尘旧梦 梦断都成空

    Old dreams in the mortal realm, all have turned to nothing.

  7. 雨打湿了眼眶 年年倚井盼归堂

    The rain has wet my eyes, year after year I lean by the well, longing for home.

  8. 最怕不觉泪已拆两行

    What I fear most is not noticing tears have fallen in two lines.

  9. 我在人间彷徨 寻不到你的天堂

    I wander in the world, searching for your paradise.

  10. 东瓶西镜放 恨不能遗忘

    East vase, west mirror placed, oh how I wish to forget.

  11. 又是清明雨上 折菊寄到你身旁

    Once again, the rain of Qingming falls, I send wild chrysanthemums to your side.

  12. 把你最爱的歌来轻轻唱

    I softly sing your favorite song.

  13. 我在人间彷徨 寻不到你的天堂

    I wander in this world, can't find your paradise,

  14. 东瓶西镜放 恨不能遗忘

    East vase, west mirror, I grieve I can't forget.

  15. 又是清明雨上 折菊寄到你身旁

    Once again the Qingming rain falls, sending chrysanthemums to your side,

  16. 把你最爱的歌来轻轻唱

    I softly sing your favorite song.
