黃安 - 新鸳鸯蝴蝶梦
Click to viewI was in a cab, and heard some random chinese song that reminded me of the above. So old school...but unforgettable.
新 鸳 鸯 蝴 蝶 梦
xin yuan yang hu die meng
A new dream of an affectionate couple of butterflies
-----
昨 日 象 那 东 流 水
zuo ri xiang na dong liu shui
Yesterday was like that east water flowing
离 我 远 去 不 可 留
li wo yuan qu bu ke liu
Far from me, could not be held back.
今 日 乱 我 心 多 烦 忧
jin ri luan wo xin duo fan you
Today it messes up my heart.
抽 刀 断 水 水 更 流
chou dao duan shui shui geng liu
You cannot cut the water with a knife to stop it from flowing.
举 杯 消 愁 愁 更 愁
ju bei xiao chou chou geng chou
You cannot dispel your worries in wine.
明 朝 清 风 四 飘 流
ming chao qing feng si piao liu
The cool breeze flowing in all directions.
由 来 只 有 新 人 笑
you lai zhi you xin ren xiao
So far there are only brides laughing,
有 谁 听 到 旧 人 哭
you shei ting dao jiu ren ku
Who has heard an old lover cries?
爱 情 两 个 字 好 辛 苦
ai qing liang ge zi hao xin ku
"ai qing" (Love), how hard these two words can be.
是 要 问 一 个 明 白
shi yao wen yi ge ming bai
Do you want to ask a sensible person
还 是 要 装 作 糊 涂
hai shi yao zhuang zuo hu tu
Or do you want to pretend to be a fool?
知 多 知 少 难 知 足
zhi duo zhi shao nan zhi zu
Know more or less, who knows enough?
看 似 个 鸳 鸯 蝴 蝶 不 应 该 的 年代
kan si ge yuan yang hu die bu ying gai de nian dai
Seems like a affectionate couple of butterflies should not last an era.
可 是 谁 又 能 摆 脱 人 世 间 的 悲哀
ke shi shei you neng bai tuo ren shi jian de bei ai
However, who can shake off the sorrow of the world?
花 花 世 界 鸳 鸯 蝴 蝶
hua hua shi jie yuan yang hu die
A world full of flowers and affectionate couples of butterflies
在 人 间 已 是 颠 何 苦 要 上 青天
zai ren jian yi shi dian he ku yao shang qing tian
When you are already on top of the world, why do you struggle to reach the
blue sky?
不 如 温 柔 同 眠
bu ru wen rou tong mian
It would be better to take a rest.
