Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Longing”
Hakka Dilect:
“yuè guāng chū lái lǐ ò ”
“月 光 出 来 哩 哦 ”
The moonlight shines through, oh
jiǎn bú duàn de shí jiān
剪 不 断 的 时 间
Unbreakable time
gù shì lǐ yǒu qiān bàn
故 事 里 有 牵 绊
Within the story, there’s a connection
yù zhōu yè jiàn yuǎn
豫 州 夜 渐 远
The night in Yuzhou grows distant
rén zài dān xiá shān nán
人 在 丹 霞 山 南
People are in the south of Danxia Mountain
xiǎng qǐ nà shí fāng yán
响 起 那 时 方 言
The dialect of that time echoes
shuí yòu zài shuí xīn jiān
谁 又 在 谁 心 间
Who is in whose heart
zài běi biān
在 北 边
In the north
zhī děng yī zhī kè jiā chuán
只 等 一 只 客 家 船
Only waiting for a Hakka boat
lóng mén shān tīng dào yàn guī nán
龙 门 山 听 到 雁 归 南
Longmen Mountain hears the geese return south
gù lóu yuán běi wàng yǒu chuī yān
故 楼 圆 北 望 有 炊 烟
The round old tower, with smoke rising in the north
wǒ zài nǐ xīn jiān
我 在 你 心 间
I’m in your heart
shì nǐ wǒ zhí yì xiàng shǒu de nuò yán
是 你 我 执 意 相 守 的 诺 言
It is our promise to stay together
yún kāi wǒ zhī dào nǐ zài juàn liàn
云 开 我 知 道 你 在 眷 恋
The clouds have parted, and I see your longing
juàn liàn zài bú huì zǒu yuǎn
眷 恋 再 不 会 走 远
My love for you will never fade away
jí shǐ xiàng gé qiān lǐ yě bìng bú yáo yuǎn
即 使 相 隔 千 里 也 并 不 遥 远
Even though we are miles apart, we are not far from each other
fēng qǐ nǐ zhī dào wǒ zài qī pàn
风 起 你 知 道 我 在 期 盼
You know I’m waiting for you when the wind start blowing
qī pàn nǐ huí dào shēn biān
期 盼 你 回 到 身 边
Waiting for you to come back to me
rén ruò sī niàn biàn sī niàn zhōng huì xiàng jiàn
人 若 思 念 便 思 念 终 会 相 见
If you long for someone, long for them, you will eventually be together
Children’s folk rhymes of Kakka:
“yuè guāng guāng xiù cái láng
“月 光 光 秀 才 郎
Moonlight shines on the young scholar
qí bái mǎ guò lián táng
骑 白 马 过 莲 塘
Ride the white horse to cross the lotus pond
lián táng bèi zhǒng jiǔ cài
莲 塘 背 种 韭 菜
Pant leek behind the lotus pond
jiǔ cài huā jié qīn jiā ”
韭 菜 花 结 亲 家 ”
Marry with leek flowers
qǔ wèi sàn yíng rào shān hǎi jiān
曲 未 散 萦 绕 山 海 间
The music lingers between the mountains and the seas

心 尤 在 弹 指 间 聚 散
The heart is still there, even though we are apart
