西海情歌 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

• By: 刀郎
• Album: 刀郎Ⅲ

Lyrics & Translation

Immerse yourself in the raw emotion of Dao Lang's "Xihai Love Song." Through its desolate yet beautiful melody and powerful storytelling, you can learn vocabulary related to enduring love, nature's harshness (like 'snow mountain' and 'plateau'), and profound grief. Its special quality lies in grounding a deeply personal, tragic narrative in a grand, unforgiving landscape, making the emotional weight palpable through every Mandarin phrase.

西海情歌 希望你們喜歡 謝謝

Since you left

I’ve lost all tenderness

Waiting on this long, snowy mountain path

Listening to the howling wind, unchanged

The horizon stretches endlessly

The wind cuts my face like a knife

I can’t wait for the blue skies over the Western Sea

Silent on this vast plateau

Do you remember you promised me

You’d never let me lose you

But you followed the southbound migratory birds

Flying so far away

Love is like a kite with a broken string

I can’t hold on to the promises you made

I’m bitterly waiting at the peak of the snow mountain

For a warm spring

Waiting for the ice and snow on the plateau to melt

For the lone goose to return

Love is like a kite with a broken string

I can’t hold on to our past

The horizon stretches endlessly

The wind cuts my face like a knife

I can’t wait for the blue skies over the Western Sea

Silent on this vast plateau

Do you remember you promised me

You’d never let me lose you

But you followed the southbound migratory birds

Flying so far away

Love is like a kite with a broken string

I can’t hold on to the promises you made

I’m bitterly waiting at the peak of the snow mountain

For a warm spring

Waiting for the ice and snow on the plateau to melt

For the lone goose to return

Love can’t rekindle our bond

We can’t return to our past

Do you remember you promised me

You’d never let me lose you

But you followed the southbound migratory birds

Flying so far away

Love is like a kite with a broken string

I can’t hold on to the promises you made

I’m bitterly waiting at the peak of the snow mountain

For a warm spring

Waiting for the ice and snow on the plateau to melt

For the lone goose to return

Love can’t rekindle our bond

We can’t return to our past

We can’t return to our past

西海情歌 希望你們喜歡 謝謝

自你離開以後

從此就丟了溫柔

等待在這雪山路漫長

聽寒風呼嘯依舊

一眼望不到邊

風似刀割我的臉

等不到西海天際蔚藍

無言著蒼茫的高原

還記得你答應過我

不會讓我把你找不見

可你跟隨那南歸的候鳥

飛得那麼遠

愛像風箏斷了線

拉不住你許下的諾言

我在苦苦等待雪山之巔

溫暖的春天

等待高原冰雪融化之後

歸來的孤雁

愛像風箏斷了線

拉不住我們的從前

一眼望不到邊

風似刀割我的臉

等不到西海天際蔚藍

無言著蒼茫的高原

還記得你答應過我

不會讓我把你找不見

可你跟隨那南歸的候鳥

飛得那麼遠

愛像風箏斷了線

拉不住你許下的諾言

我在苦苦等待雪山之巔

溫暖的春天

等待高原冰雪融化之後

歸來的孤雁

愛再難以續情緣

回不到我們的從前

還記得你答應過我

不會讓我把你找不見

可你跟隨那南歸的候鳥

飛得那麼遠

愛像風箏斷了線

拉不住你許下的諾言

我在苦苦等待雪山之巔

溫暖的春天

等待高原冰雪融化之後

歸來的孤雁

愛再難以續情緣

回不到我們的從前

回不到我們的從前
