[English]

Like a flower, like a dream

It was our brief encounter

Tender whispers

Rouge tears fall at the alley entrance

Listening softly to the wind, my heart aches

Memories set within the waning moon

Sorrow and hidden resentment brew, making reunion hard

Lost in a fool's dream

In this life, I will no longer search

The fading visage sighs

Cold emptiness turns into a fleeting past

Only a foolish dream before the flowers remains

Lonely painted mandarin ducks gaze at each other

I am the one who loves too much

Intense love no longer understands a weary heart

Dispersed in the misty rain

Like a flower, like a dream

It was our brief encounter

Tender whispers

Rouge tears fall at the alley entrance

Listening softly to the wind, my heart aches

Memories set within the waning moon

Sorrow and hidden resentment brew, making reunion hard

Lost in a fool's dream

In this life, I will no longer search

The fading visage sighs

Cold emptiness turns into a fleeting past

Only a foolish dream before the flowers remains

Lonely painted mandarin ducks gaze at each other

I am the one who loves too much

Intense love no longer understands a weary heart

Dispersed in the misty rain

In this life, I will no longer search

The fading visage sighs

Cold emptiness turns into a fleeting past

Only a foolish dream before the flowers remains

Lonely painted mandarin ducks gaze at each other

I am the one who loves too much

Intense love no longer understands a weary heart

Dispersed in the misty rain

Like a flower, like a dream

It was our brief encounter

Tender whispers

Rouge tears fall at the alley entrance

Listening softly to the wind, my heart aches

Memories set within the waning moon

Sorrow and hidden resentment brew, making reunion hard

Lost in a fool's dream

[Chinese]

如花似梦

是我们短暂的相逢

缠绵细语

胭脂泪飘落巷口中

幽幽听风声心痛

回忆嵌在残月中

愁思恨暗生难重逢

沉醉痴人梦

今生已不再寻觅

逝去的容颜叹息

冷清化一场游过往

只剩花前痴梦

寂寞画鸳鸯相望

是我在做多情种

情深已不懂人憔悴

消散烟雨中

如花似梦

是我们短暂的相逢

缠绵细语

胭脂泪飘落巷口中

幽幽听风声心痛

回忆嵌在残月中

愁思恨暗生难重逢

沉醉痴人梦

今生已不再寻觅

逝去的容颜叹息

冷清化一场游过往

只剩花前痴梦

寂寞画鸳鸯相望

是我在做多情种

情深已不懂人憔悴

消散烟雨中

今生已不再寻觅

逝去的容颜叹息

冷清化一场游过往

只剩花前痴梦

寂寞画鸳鸯相望

是我在做多情种

情深已不懂人憔悴

消散烟雨中

如花似梦

是我们短暂的相逢

缠绵细语

胭脂泪飘落巷口中

幽幽听风声心痛

回忆嵌在残月中

愁思恨暗生难重逢

沉醉痴人梦
