Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hearing the flute, I'm filled with sorrow.

In the deep clouds, the night stretches on.

All rights and wrongs have passed.

Now awake, how can I treat it as just a dream?

In this mortal world, how can one measure praise, blame, gain, and loss?

Though blood runs hot, the blade's edge is cold.

Mountains high and waters far,

Again, the zither's sound is heard.

These earthly feelings linger on,

My beautiful days are tinged with frost.

Brew a pot of life's joys and sorrows, an offering to the young man.

The bright moon remains, so why this sorrow?

Better to live freely and experience all the storms and waves.

A song from the ends of the earth, echoing together.

Brew a pot of life's joys and sorrows, an offering to the young man.

A song from the ends of the earth, echoing together.

A song from the ends of the earth, echoing together.

[Chinese]

闻笛声 独惆怅

云深夜 未央

是与非 都过往

醒来了 怎能当梦一场

红尘中 毁誉得失如何去量

萧萧血热刀锋凉

山高水远

又闻琴响

尘情未绝

我的花月如霜

煮一壶生死悲欢 祭少年郎

明月依旧 何来怅惘

不如潇潇洒洒历遍风和浪

天涯一曲 共悠扬

煮一壶生死悲欢 祭少年郎

天涯一曲 共悠扬

天涯一曲 共悠扬
