Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Asking the Moon”
wèn yuè
问月
Asking the Moon
yán xià de huā er jìng jìng kāi
檐下的花儿 静静开
Flowers beneath the eaves bloom quietly
yè fēng sì yǐng jiǔ děng zài mén wài
夜风似影久等在门外
Night wind like a shadow waits long outside
cán yuè dú guà zài chuāng tái jiāng huí yì yìng bái
残月独挂在窗台 将回忆映白
A waning moon hangs alone on the windowsill, whitening memories
huái nà rén hái zài bú zài
怀 那人还在不在
Wondering if that person is still there
fán huá de chén āi luò xià lái
繁华的尘埃落下来
Dust of prosperity falls
xuān xiāo sàn qù wàng jì le bēi āi
喧嚣散去忘记了悲哀
Noise fades away, sorrow forgotten
yòng yī shēng yuán fèn děng dài děng mìng yùn ān pái
用一生缘分等待 等命运安排
Waiting a lifetime for fate’s arrangement
hái yǒu jǐ shì de wú nài
还 有几世的无奈
Still carrying helplessness across lifetimes
wèn míng yuè yīn qíng yuán quē
问明月 阴晴圆缺
Asking the bright moon of its wax and wane
nǐ shì fǒu yě tīng jiàn bù jué de sī niàn
你是否也听见不绝的思念
Do you also hear the endless longing
pàn yuè yuán de zī wèi yǒu shuí néng liǎo jiě
盼月圆的滋味有谁能了解
Who understands the taste of awaiting the full moon
chóng qì míng shēng shēng cuī rén juàn
虫泣鸣 声声催人倦
Insects’ weeping cries make one weary
wèn míng yuè yīn qíng yuán quē
问明月 阴晴圆缺
Asking the bright moon of its wax and wane
zhào bù jìn chén shì jiān bù jiě de yīn yuán
照不尽尘世间不解的姻缘
Cannot illuminate the inexplicable bonds of this world
yuè yá yè de xǐ bēi jǐ rén néng gǎn jué
月牙夜的喜悲几人能感觉
How many can feel the joys and sorrows of crescent moon nights
xǔ gè yuàn yè yè chéng quán
许个愿 夜 夜成全
Make a wish, night after night fulfilled
xǔ gè yuàn yè yè chéng quán
许个愿 夜 夜成全
Make a wish, night after night fulfilled
