Fallen leaves have no roots, a single thread can't form a line.

Nowhere to belong, nor the will to roam.

Instead of giving me red beans, why not write a song about me?

Signed with your name, so neat and beautiful.

If I were to compare you to a song,

You would be that masterpiece, 'High Mountains, Flowing Water',

With a beauty dancing, heaven and earth dancing,

A beauty that snaps the strings.

If I were to compare you to a song,

The song would describe me as lingering and poignant,

Forever moving hearts, it steals my soul,

A beauty that snaps the strings.

Fallen leaves have no roots, a single thread can't form a line.

A mouth without a heart, talent without fate.

If we don't watch the stars together, what's the point of them shining?

You and I steadfastly devoted, showing deep mutual respect.

If I were to compare you to a song,

You would be that masterpiece, 'High Mountains, Flowing Water',

With a beauty dancing, heaven and earth dancing,

A beauty that snaps the strings.

If I were to compare you to a song,

The song would describe me as lingering and poignant,

Forever moving hearts, it steals my soul,

A beauty that snaps the strings.

Forever moving hearts, it steals my soul,

A beauty that snaps the strings.

落叶无归根 单丝不成线

无所寄托 亦无心流浪

你把红豆赠我不如写我一首歌

落款你的名字 工整又好看

若把你比作歌

你便是那高山流水

佳人伴舞 天地伴舞

绝弦的美

若把你比作歌

歌写的我缠绵悱恻

恒顺众生 迁走我魂

绝弦的美

落叶无归根 单丝不成线

有嘴无心 亦有才无命

不一起看星星 星星它亮有什么用

你我矢志不渝 举案又齐眉

若把你比作歌

你便是那高山流水

佳人伴舞 天地伴舞

绝弦的美

若把你比作歌

歌写的我缠绵悱恻

恒顺众生迁走我魂

绝弦的美

恒顺众生 迁走我魂

绝弦的美
