髮如雪 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

狼牙月 伊人憔悴

The wolf moon, the maiden looks weary

我舉杯 飲盡了風雪

I raise my glass, drinking through the wind and snow

是誰打翻前世櫃

Who spilled the chest from my past life

惹塵埃是非

Stirring up dust, right or wrong

緣字訣 幾番輪迴

The fate code, cycles of reincarnation

妳鎖眉 哭紅顏喚不回

You furrow your brows, crying red and beautiful, but I can't bring her back

縱然青史已經成灰

Even if history turns to ashes

我愛不滅

My love remains eternal

繁華如三千東流水

Vivid blossoms like three thousand eastward streams

我只取一瓢愛了解

I only take a sip to understand love

只戀妳化身的蝶

Only in love with the butterfly you've become

妳髮如雪 淒美了離別

Your hair like snow, parting tears of sorrow at farewell

我焚香感動了誰

Who do I burn incense for, to move?

邀明月 讓回憶皎潔

Invite the bright moon, let memories shine pure

愛在月光下完美

Love under the moonlight, perfect and complete

妳髮如雪 紛飛了眼淚

Your hair like snow, tears flying in the wind

我等待蒼老了誰

Who am I waiting to grow old for?

红塵醉 微醺的歲月

Worldly intoxication, drunken years

我用無悔 刻永世愛妳的碑

Etching eternal love on the monument of my regretlessness

妳髮雪 淒美了離別

Your snowy hair, beautiful in parting

我焚香感動了誰

Who do I burn incense for, to move?

邀明月 讓回憶皎潔

Invite the bright moon, let memories shine pure

愛在月光下完美

Love under the moonlight, perfect and complete

妳髮如雪 紛飛了眼液

Your hair like snow, tears flying in the wind

我等待蒼老了誰

Who am I waiting to grow old for?

红塵醉 微醺的歲月

Worldly intoxication, drunken years

狼牙月 伊人憔悴

The wolf moon, the maiden looks weary

我舉杯 飲盡了風雪

I raise my glass, drinking through the wind and snow

是誰打翻前世櫃

Who spilled the chest from my past life

惹塵埃是非

Stirring up dust, right or wrong

緣字訣 幾番輪迴

The fate code, cycles of reincarnation

妳鎖眉 哭红顏喚不回

You furrow your brows, crying red and beautiful, but I can't bring her back

縱然青史已經成灰

Even if history turns to ashes

我愛不滅

My love remains eternal

繁華如三千東流水

Vivid blossoms like three thousand eastward streams

我只取一瓢愛了解

I only take a sip to understand love

只戀妳化身的蝶

Only in love with the butterfly you've become

妳髮如雪 淒美了離別

Your hair like snow, parting tears of sorrow at farewell

我焚香感動了誰

Who do I burn incense for, to move?

邀明月 襲讓回憶皎潔

Invite the bright moon, let memories shine pure

愛在月光下完美

Love under the moonlight, perfect and complete

妳髮如雪 紛飛了眼淚

Your hair like snow, tears flying in the wind

我等待蒼老了誰

Who am I waiting to grow old for?

红塵醉 微醺的歲月

Worldly intoxication, drunken years

我用無悔 刻永世愛妳的碑

Etching eternal love on the monument of my regretlessness

妳髮如雪 淒美了離別

Your snowy hair, beautiful in parting

我焚香感動了誰

Who do I burn incense for, to move?
