Lyrics & Translation

[English]

The night’s chaos pales in comparison

to the depths of your eyes.

I long to spend every dawn and dusk with you,

yet it never feels enough.

In the dim light, I search and wait again,

just for one glance from you.

Who would know

that thoughts of you leave me entranced?

Who would know

that ripples stir secretly in my heart?

I yearn for you constantly,

awaiting our meeting under the moonlight.

I wonder what night this is.

I delight in you,

yet you’re unaware of my heart’s intent.

Sorrow upon sorrow, grief upon grief.

I gaze outside the window,

the wind howls, the rain pours, and tears fall.

I can no longer find your shadow.

I delight in you,

yet you’re unaware of my heart’s intent.

Searching, yet all is cold and quiet,

even if I stand alone,

I wait only for you.

This love is hard to quell.

[Chinese]

看夜色纷纷扰扰

不及你眼眸

想和你朝朝暮暮

怎么嫌不够

在阑珊处再寻觅再等候

只为你一回眸

谁知我

一想起你我就入了迷

谁知我

心里偷偷泛起了涟漪

心心念念等你

等月下的相遇

不知今夕是何夕

吾欢喜侬

奈何你却不知我心意

凄凄惨惨惨惨又戚戚

我看窗外

风萧萧雨沥沥泪在滴

再也找不到你的身影

吾欢喜侬

奈何你却不知我心意

寻寻觅觅又冷冷清清

哪怕孑然一身

只为等你一人

爱意总难平

谁知我

一想起你我就入了迷

谁知我

心里偷偷泛起了涟漪

心心念念等你

等月下的相遇

不知今夕是何夕

吾欢喜侬

奈何你却不知我心意

凄凄惨惨惨惨又戚戚

我看窗外

风萧萧雨沥沥泪在滴

再也找不到你的身影

吾欢喜侬

奈何你却不知我心意

寻寻觅觅又冷冷清清

哪怕孑然一身

只为等你一人

爱意总难平

吾欢喜侬

奈何你却不知我心意

凄凄惨惨惨惨又戚戚

我看窗外

风萧萧雨沥沥泪在滴

再也找不到你的身影

吾欢喜侬

奈何你却不知我心意

寻寻觅觅又冷冷清清

哪怕孑然一身只为等你一人

爱意总难平
