[English]

The bustling night can't compare to your eyes' allure.

I wish to spend every day and night with you, it's never enough.

In the dim light, I search and wait for you once more.

Just for a glance from you.

Little did I know, thinking of you has me enchanted.

Little did I know, my heart secretly stirs with ripples.

Eagerly awaiting our encounter under the moonlight.

I wonder what night this is.

I adore you, but alas, you don't know my heart.

Wu, so sorrowful and desolate.

I gaze outside, the wind howls, rain pours, and tears fall.

Wu, I can't find your figure anymore.

I adore you, but alas, you don't know my heart.

Wu, searching and lonely.

Even alone, I wait only for you.

Love is hard to quell.

Little did I know, thinking of you has me enchanted.

Little did I know, my heart secretly stirs with ripples.

Eagerly awaiting our encounter under the moonlight.

I wonder what night this is.

I adore you, but alas, you don't know my heart.

Wu, so sorrowful and desolate.

I gaze outside, the wind howls, rain pours, and tears fall.

Wu, I can't find your figure anymore.

I adore you, but alas, you don't know my heart.

Wu, searching and lonely.

Even alone, I wait only for you.

Love is hard to quell.

I adore you, but alas, you don't know my heart.

Wu, so sorrowful and desolate.

I gaze outside, the wind howls, rain pours, and tears fall.

Wu, I can't find your figure anymore.

I adore you, but alas, you don't know my heart.

Wu, searching and lonely.

Even alone, I wait only for you.

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

Wu 凄凄惨惨惨惨又戚戚

我看窗外风萧萧雨沥沥泪在滴

Wu 再也找不到你的身影

吾欢喜侬奈何你却不知我心意

Wu 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

Wu 凄凄惨惨惨惨又戚戚

我看窗外风萧萧雨沥沥泪在滴

Wu 再也找不到你的身影

吾欢喜侬奈何你却不知我心意

Wu 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

Wu 凄凄惨惨惨惨又戚戚

我看窗外风萧萧雨沥沥泪在滴

Wu 再也找不到你的身影

吾欢喜侬奈何你却不知我心意

Wu 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
