Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English
lǜ cǎo cāng cāng bái wù máng máng
绿草苍苍 白雾茫茫
The green grass is lush, the white mist is vast
yǒu wèi jiā rén zài shuǐ yī fāng
有位佳人 在水一方
There is a beautiful lady, on the other side of the water
wǒ yuàn nì liú ér shàng
我愿逆流而上
I am willing to go against the current
yī wēi zài tā shēn páng
依偎在她身旁
To lean beside her
wú nài qián yǒu xiǎn tān
无奈前有险滩
But unfortunately, there are dangerous shoals ahead
dào lù yòu yuǎn yòu cháng
道路又远又长
The road is long and far
wǒ yuàn shùn liú ér xià
我愿顺流而下
I am willing to go with the current
zhǎo xún tā de fāng xiàng
找寻她的方向
To find her direction
què jiàn yī xī fǎng fú
却见依稀仿佛
But I only see a vague, indistinct figure
tā zài shuǐ de zhōng yāng
她在水的中央
She is in the middle of the water
lǜ cǎo qī qī bái wù mí lí
绿草萋萋 白雾迷离
The green grass is dense, the white mist is hazy
yǒu wèi jiā rén kào shuǐ ér jū
有位佳人 靠水而居
There is a beautiful lady, living by the water
wǒ yuàn nì liú ér shàng
我愿逆流而上
I am willing to go against the current
yǔ tā qīng yán xì yǔ
与她轻言细语
To speak softly with her
wú nài qián yǒu xiǎn tān
无奈前有险滩
But unfortunately, there are dangerous shoals ahead
dào lù qǔ zhé wú yǐ
道路曲折无已
The road is winding and endless
wǒ yuàn shùn liú ér xià
我愿顺流而下
I am willing to go with the current
zhǎo xún tā de zōng jì
找寻她的踪迹
To find her trace
què jiàn fǎng fú yī xī
却见仿佛依稀
But I only see a vague, indistinct figure
tā zài shuǐ zhōng zhù lì
她在水中伫立
She stands still in the water
