[English]

I guard my hell, you believe in your gods.

Arrogant and headstrong, with a temper yet also a love for laughter.

No one saves me, no one tries to persuade me.

The rivers and seas won't carry you across, but I will.

In my dream, humming the ballad she once loved most.

There's nowhere for our sorrow to escape.

That arch bridge outside the city, covered in blooming flowers.

The time of your return is distant.

One drunken encounter can't compare to today's light drizzle.

The accumulated water submerges you, yet you feel no pain at all.

The black bird soared over the surging rivers and seas.

I carried you through the torment.

On this long street, stars twinkle, the misty rain carries a touch of bitterness.

I play the xiao again with a hazy tone, sighing that this long dress is torn.

A love song from an ancient flute, with no rumors to spread.

Dark clouds obscure the moon, love is often betrayed; old wine is drunk alone.

Plum blossoms fall on my shoulder, asking what the reason is.

The pure and distant one is still grieving, buried in love's tenderness.

Plum blossoms and weeping willows are broken, but the gods have forsaken.

Love lost in the mist, yet no one to guide the way.

If the rivers and seas won't carry, I will.

In my dream, humming the ballad she once loved most.

There's nowhere for our sorrow to escape.

That arch bridge outside the city, covered in blooming flowers.

The time of your return is distant.

One drunken encounter can't compare to today's light drizzle.

The accumulated water submerges you, yet you feel no pain at all.

The black bird soared over the surging rivers and seas.

I carried you through the torment.

In my dream, humming the ballad she once loved most.

There's nowhere for our sorrow to escape.

That arch bridge outside the city, covered in blooming flowers.

The time of your return is distant.

I carried you through the torment.

[Chinese]

我守我的地獄 你信你的神明

人狂性子傲 既有脾氣又愛笑

沒人救我 沒人勸我

江海不渡你 我渡

在夢中哼著她曾經最愛的歌謠

我們的悲傷無處可逃

那被花開覆蓋著城外那座拱橋

你的路途歸期遙遙

相逢一醉抵不過今日細雨毛毛

積水埋沒你不痛絲毫

黑色的飛鳥它掠過了江海潮潮

我為你渡過了煎熬

這長街星在閃爍 煙雨輕帶些澀

我把蕭再雲聲色 歎這長裙已破

一曲滄笙的情歌 沒有謠傳去說

烏雲蔽月情負多 老酒在一人喝

梅花落在了肩頭 問這是何緣由

清遠的人還在愁 葬在情的溫柔

折盡梅花垂柳樹 可卻神明已負

情迷霧卻無人渡

江海不渡我來渡

在夢中哼著她曾經最愛的歌謠

我們的悲傷無處可逃

那被花開覆蓋著城外那座拱橋

你的路途歸期遙遙

相逢一醉抵不過今日細雨毛毛

積水埋沒你不痛絲毫

黑色的飛鳥它掠過了江海潮潮

我為你渡過了煎熬

在夢中哼著她曾經最愛的歌謠

我們的悲傷無處可逃

那被花開覆蓋著城外那座拱橋

你的路途歸期遙遙

我為你渡過了煎熬
