Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English
cǎo qiáo jīn lán bài
草桥 金兰拜
At Caoqiao, we swore brotherhood like gold and orchid
tóng chuāng yì zhěng sān zǎi
同窗谊 整三载
Our friendship as classmates lasted three whole years
mò xiào shān bó shū dāi
莫笑山伯书呆
Don’t laugh at Shanbo for being a bookish fool
bù zhī yīng tái yuán běn nǚ qún chāi
不知英台原本女裙钗
Not knowing Yingtai was originally a girl in dress
shí bā xiāng sòng pō pái huái
十八相送 颇徘徊
Seeing you off for eighteen miles, I hesitated a lot
zhù jiā mǔ dān zhèng shèng kāi
祝家牡丹正盛开
The peonies at the Zhu family are in full bloom
lín bié quàn jūn zǎo zhé huā
临别劝君早折花
Before parting, I advise you to pluck the flowers early
mò děng xián yù píng měi juàn kōng xiāng dài
莫等闲 玉瓶美眷 空相待
Don’t waste time, for the beautiful lady waiting like a jade vase will be left in vain
lóu tái huì měi mèng huà xū wěi
“楼台会 美梦化虚伪
At the pavilion meeting, the sweet dream turns false
yǒu qíng què nán chéng shuāng duì
有情却难成双对
We have affection but can hardly be a pair
fù mǔ zhī mìng nán wéi bèi
父母之命难违背
We can hardly go against our parents’ orders
bàng dǎ yuān yāng liǎng fēn fēi”
棒打鸳鸯两分飞”
Beaten like mandarin ducks, we fly apart from each other”
wǒ bǎ jīng kūn yuè jìn píng tán tǒng tǒng kàn biàn
我把京昆粤晋评弹统统看遍
I have watched all kinds of operas like Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, Cantonese Opera, Shanxi Opera and Pingtan
yòu wèi zhè gē zǎi xì lǐ qī liáng jié jú lèi shān rán
又为这歌仔戏里 凄凉结局泪潸然
And shed tears for the sad ending in this Gezai Opera
bù tóng de chàng qiāng sù yī què yòu yī què
不同的唱腔诉一阙又一阙
Different singing styles tell one verse after another
wèi hé yǒu qíng rén zhōng bù néng tuán yuán
为何有情人终不能团圆
Why can’t lovers finally reunite
qiān háng lèi nán sù jìn
千行泪 难诉尽
A thousand lines of tears can hardly tell it all
wàn lǚ qíng chéng huī chén
万缕情 成灰尘
Ten thousand strands of affection turn to dust
fēi shì yīng tái bù shǒu xìn
非是英台不守信
It’s not that Yingtai breaks her promise
shēn bù yóu jǐ wù cǐ shēng
身不由己误此生
She is forced by circumstances and ruins this life
wèi guài jūn shēng xiāng lián wǎn
未怪君生相怜晚
I don’t blame you for showing sympathy too late
wú huǐ qiè sǐ wèi jià shēn
无悔妾死未嫁身
I have no regret dying unmarried
qì xuè bái yī mái huáng tǔ
泣血白衣埋黄土
In white clothes stained with tears like blood, I am buried in the yellow earth
piān piān dié wǔ jì fāng hún
翩翩蝶舞寄芳魂
The graceful butterfly dance embodies the fragrant soul
nán shān mù kè wǒ liáng xiōng míng
“南山墓 刻我梁兄名
“On the tomb at Nanshan, carve my Brother Liang’s name
bù néng tóng qǐn qiú tóng fén
不能同寝求同坟
We can’t sleep together, but beg to be buried in the same tomb
yuàn xiōng xiǎn líng dài wǒ qù
愿兄显灵带我去
May Brother show your spirit and take me with you
shēng bù chéng shuāng sǐ bù fēn”
生不成双死不分”
We can’t be a pair in life, but we won’t be separated in death”
yī qǔ liáng zhù huà dié chàng jìn bié wú xuǎn zé
一曲梁祝化蝶唱尽别无选择
The song of Liang Zhu turning into butterflies sings all the helpless choices
kě duō shao yuán fèn què zài rén xīn suì yuè zhōng cuō tuó
可多少缘分却在人心岁月中蹉跎
But how many fates are wasted in people’s hearts and years
liú xíng yuè zài méi le lún huí hé yīn guǒ
流行乐再没了轮回和因果
Pop music no longer has reincarnation and karma
nǐ shì fǒu réng wèi yī duàn qíng zhí zhuó
你是否仍为一段情执着
Are you still persistent for a relationship
wǒ bù tíng chàng zhè zhī gē
我不停唱这支歌
I keep singing this song
děng nǐ jiāng gǔ lǎo xuán lǜ qīng qīng de hé
等你将古老旋律轻轻地和
Waiting for you to softly harmonize with this ancient melody
kàn zhè yī huí mǔ dān huā shèng kāi yòu diāo luò
看这一回牡丹花盛开又凋落
Watch the peonies bloom and wither this time
kàn zhè yī shì xiāng shǒu mò cuò guò
看这一世相守莫错过
Watch this lifetime of being together and don’t miss it
shuí shuō hú dié fēi bù guò hǎi máng máng
谁说蝴蝶飞不过 海 茫茫
Who says butterflies can’t fly across the vast sea
kě zhēn qíng bù néng gòu zhǐ zài liǎng àn xì lǐ kǔ kǔ chàng
可 真情不能够只在 两岸戏里苦苦唱
But true feelings can’t only be sung hard in operas on both sides of the strait
tóng yàng de yáng guāng zhào zài tóng sè liǎn páng
同样的阳光照在同色脸庞
The same sunshine shines on faces of the same skin color
ràng tā qù wēn nuǎn bù tóng de xīn shāng
让它去温暖不同的心伤
Let it warm different heartaches
kuà guò shān shuǐ hé shí guāng
跨过山水和时光
Cross mountains, rivers and time
zài bǎ zhè dòng rén gù shi màn màn de jiǎng
再把这动人故事慢慢地讲
Then slowly tell this touching story
ràng měi yī zhǒng niàn niàn bù wàng dōu yǒu huí xiǎng
让每一种念念不忘都有回响
Let every kind of lingering memory have an echo
ràng měi yī fèn ài dì jiǔ tiān cháng
让每一份爱地久天长
Let every love last forever
