人声 琴声 夜雨声我在倾听
The sound of voices, the sound of the piano, the sound of the rain at night, I'm listening.
稀疏 宾客 侍应生也没劲
Sparse guests, the waiter lacks energy.
依稀可见 旧菜单也没多变
Faintly visible, the old menu hasn't changed much.
但熟识声线 夜里不再遇见
But familiar voices, no longer meet at night.
哭中欢笑 想起昨日
Crying and laughing, remembering yesterday.
甜蜜对坐时愉快得写意
Sweetly sitting across, joyfully expressive.
酒饮干了 又想往事
The drinks are dry, and I think of the past.
期望醉了淡忘这故事
Hoping to get drunk and forget this story.
歌声中等待你 但这刻你未知道
Waiting for you in the song, but in this moment, you don't know.
依稀中 仿佛望到 又再跟你共舞
In the haze, it seems I see you again, dancing together.
Wo oh
人声 琴声 夜雨声我在倾听
The sounds of voices, the piano, the night rain, I am listening
但熟悉声线 夜里不再遇见
But familiar tones, no longer meet in the night
哭中欢笑 想起昨日
Crying and laughing, I recall yesterday
甜蜜对坐时愉快得写意
Joyful moments spent together, writing love’s sweet lines
酒饮干了 又想往事
The drink is gone, and I reminisce about the past
期望醉了淡忘这故事
Hoping that drunkenness helps me forget this tale
烟熄 灯散 伴我只有是感叹
The smoke fades, the lights dim, all that’s left is a sigh
寂寞的双眼 渡过这个夜晚
Lonely eyes, crossing through this night
