Oh, my lover, don’t you worry
cǐ shēng zhī wéi nǐ wǎn hóng xiù 。
此 生 只 为 你 挽 红 袖 。
I’ll only put on red sleeves for you in this life
sān xún jiǔ guò yuè shàng zhī tóu ,
三 巡 酒 过 月 上 枝 头 ,
Three rounds of wine over the moon
wǒ xīn yōu yōu 。
我 心 悠 悠 。
My heart is obsessed
yī nián sì jì de gèng tì ,
一 年 四 季 的 更 替 ,
Seaons change throughout every year
zhú lí xià de luàn huā yǐng 。

Shadows of flowers move chaotically under the bamboo fence
wēn róu de fēng gāng guò jì ,
温 柔 的 风 刚 过 季 ,
The gentle wind just passed the season
xiàng hái zài zì jǐ jiā lǐ 。

zhú dēng xià de jiù qíng yì shuí lǐ ,
烛 灯 下 的 旧 情 意 谁 理 ,
Who will care about the old romance under the candlelight
xī chuāng wài de liáng rén qì bú yì 。
西 窗 外 的 良 人 泣 不 易 。
The good person outside the west window sob about the uneasy life
jǔ bēi shuí hé míng yuè tí qǐ tā zài yuǎn fāng děng nǐ ,
举 杯 谁 和 明 月 提 起 她 在 远 方 等 你 ,
Who raised cup with the bright moon mentioning that she is waiting for you in distance
děng nǐ zài luò xià jǐ bǐ 。
