Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Inquiring”
wèn qíng
问情
Asking About Love
shān chuān zài bú dòng tài duō bēi āi
山川载不动太多悲哀
Mountains can’t bear too much sorrow
suì yuè jīn bù qǐ tài cháng de děng dài
岁月禁不起太长的等待
Time can’t endure endless waiting
chūn huā zuì ài xiàng fēng zhōng yáo bǎi
春花最爱向风中摇摆
Spring flowers love to sway in the wind
huáng shā piān yào jiāng chī hé yuàn yǎn mái
黄沙偏要将痴和怨掩埋
Yellow sand insists on burying love and resentment
yī shì de cōng míng qíng yuàn hú tú
一世的聪明情愿糊涂
A lifetime’s wisdom chooses foolishness
yī shēng de zāo yù xiàng shuí sù
一生的遭遇向谁诉
To whom can I tell life’s sufferings
ài dào bù néng ài jù dào zhōng xū sàn
爱到不能爱 聚到终须散
Love till no more love, meet only to part
fán huá guò hòu chéng yī mèng a
繁华过后成一梦啊
After prosperity, all becomes a dream
hǎi shuǐ yǒng bù gān tiān yě wàng bù chuān
海水永不干 天也望不穿
Seas never dry, skies remain unfathomable
hóng chén yī xiào hé nǐ gòng pái huái
红尘一笑和你共徘徊
Smiling in this world, wandering with you
shān chuān zài bú dòng tài duō bēi āi
山川载不动太多悲哀
Mountains can’t bear too much sorrow
suì yuè jīn bù qǐ tài cháng de děng dài
岁月禁不起太长的等待
