  1. 繁华声 遁入空门 折煞了世人

    The sounds of splendor escape into emptiness, leaving the world in shadows.

  2. 梦偏冷 辗转一生 情债又几本

    Dreams grow cold, swirling through a lifetime, how many debts of love remain?

  3. 如妳默认 生死枯等

    If you accept it silently, waiting for life and death in desolation.

  4. 枯等一圈 又一圈的年轮

    Waiting in circles, the rings of time grow once again.

  5. 浮屠塔 断了几层 断了谁的魂

    The stupa crumbles, layers lost, who has lost their soul?

  6. 痛直奔 一盏残灯 倾塌的山门

    Pain rushes forth, a flickering lamp beneath a collapsing gate.

  7. 容我再等 历史转身

    Let me wait again as history turns its back.

  8. 等酒香醇 等妳弹 一曲古筝

    Waiting for the wine's rich fragrance, waiting for you to play a tune on the guzheng.

  1. 雨纷纷 旧故里草木深

    Rain falls gently, in the old homeland, where greenery is deep.

  2. 我听闻 妳始终一个人

    I hear that you are always alone.

  3. 斑驳的城门 盘踞著老树根

    The mottled city gates stand tall with ancient tree roots.

  4. 石板上回荡的是 再等

    Echoing on the stone slab is the call to wait once more.

  5. 雨纷纷 旧故里草木深

    In the pouring rain, the old hometown's foliage runs deep.

  6. 我听闻 妳仍守著孤城

    I've heard that you still guard your lonely fort.

  7. 城郊牧笛声 落在那座野村

    The shepherd's flute whispers on the outskirts, falling into that wild village.

  8. 缘份落地生根是 我们

    Our love has taken root, blossoming where it lies.

  9. 听青春 迎来笑声 羡煞许多人

    Listening to youth, laughter arrives, envied by many.

  10. 那史册 温柔不肯 下笔都太狠

    The chronicles are gentle, yet when written, they cut too deep.

  11. 烟花易冷 人事易分

    Fireworks fade quickly, human ties unravel easily.

  12. 而妳在问我是否还 认真

    And you ask me if I still take it all to heart.

  13. 千年后 累世情深 还有谁在等

    A thousand years later, with deep feelings from lifetimes, who else is waiting?

  14. 而青史 岂能不真 魏书洛阳城

    And the history, how can it not be true? The Wei texts and the city of Luoyang.

  15. 如妳在跟 前世过门

    As if you are passing through the door of the past life.

  16. 跟著红尘 跟随我 浪迹一生

    Following the mundane world, wandering through my life.

  17. 雨纷纷 旧故里草木深

    Rain falls softly, the old hometown is lush with trees and grass.

  18. 我听闻 妳始终一个人

    I have heard that you remain all alone.

  19. 斑驳的城门 盘踞著老树根

    The weathered city gate is encircled by old tree roots.

  20. 石板上回荡的是 再等

    Echoing on the stone slab is the wait, again.

  21. 雨纷纷 旧故里草木深

    Rain falls softly, the old hometown is lush with trees and grass.

  22. 我听闻 妳始终一个人

    I have heard that you remain all alone.

  23. 斑驳的城门 盘踞著老树根

    The mottled city gate clings to the old tree roots

  24. 石板上回荡的是 再等

    Echoing on the stone slabs is the wait once more

  25. 雨纷纷 旧故里草木深

    Rain drizzles, and the old hometown's woods run deep

  26. 我听闻 妳仍守著孤城

    I've heard that you're still protecting the lonely city

  27. 城郊牧笛声 落在那座野村

    The pastoral flute's sound in the outskirts settles in that wild village

  28. 缘份落地生根是 我们

    Our fate has taken root and blossomed

  29. 缘份落地生根是 我们

    Our fate has taken root and blossomed

  30. 伽蓝寺听雨声盼 永恒

    Listening to the rain at the temple, longing for eternity
