Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “The Red Bean Song”
hóng dòu qǔ
红豆曲
The Red Bean Song
dī bù jìn xiāng sī xuè lèi pāo hóng dòu
滴不尽相思血泪 抛红豆
Endless tears of longing fall like red beans
kāi bù wán chūn liǔ chūn huā mǎn huà lóu
开不完春柳春花 满画楼
Unfading willows and blossoms fill painted towers
shuì bù wěn shā chuāng fēng yǔ huáng hūn hòu
睡不稳纱窗风雨 黄昏后
Restless sleep by gauze windows after stormy dusk
wàng bù liǎo xīn chóu yǔ jiù chóu
忘不了新愁与旧愁
Unable to forget old sorrows and new
yàn bù xià yù lì jīn chún yē mǎn hóu
咽不下玉粒金莼 噎满喉
Unable to swallow jade-like rice and golden delicacies
zhào bù jiàn líng huā jìng lǐ xíng róng shòu
照不见菱花镜里 形容瘦
The mirror reflects only my emaciated face
zhǎn bù kāi de méi tóu
展不开的眉头
Unfurrowed brows remain furrowed
ái bù míng de gēng lòu ya
捱不明的更漏 呀
Endless nights drag on, oh
qià biàn sì zhē bù zhù de qīng shān yǐn yǐn
恰便似遮不住的青山隐隐
Like distant green hills that cannot be concealed
liú bù duàn de lǜ shuǐ yōu yōu
流不断的绿水悠悠
Or the eternal flow of green waters
lǜ shuǐ yōu yōu lǜ shuǐ yōu yōu
绿水悠悠 绿水悠悠
Green waters flowing, green waters flowing
dī bù jìn xiāng sī xuè lèi pāo hóng dòu
滴不尽相思血泪 抛红豆
Endless tears of longing fall like red beans
kāi bù wán chūn liǔ chūn huā mǎn huà lóu
开不完春柳春花 满画楼
Unfading willows and blossoms fill painted towers
shuì bù wěn shā chuāng fēng yǔ huáng hūn hòu
睡不稳纱窗风雨 黄昏后
Restless sleep by gauze windows after stormy dusk
