RED-CHAMBER-ENG-01A Vain Longing Lingwan

[Intro] [Verse 1] One was a flower from the immortal garden, one was flawless jade in the dust below. If they were never meant to meet each other, why did this life let the two hearts know? [Verse 2] If fate had written them under one lantern, why did every vow turn into mist? A glance became a lifetime of aching, a dream became a wound that could not be kissed. [Pre-Chorus] One sighs in vain by the autumn window, one keeps watch where the cold rains start. One is the moon in the trembling water, one is a flower in a mirror's heart. [Chorus] How many tears can one heart carry? How many seasons can sorrow stay? From autumn into winter falling, from spring into summer, flowing away. [Instrumental Interlude] [Bridge] Do not ask why love was given, only to vanish before the dawn. The lamp remembers, the curtain listens, the red chamber keeps singing on. [Final Chorus] How many tears can one heart carry? How many seasons can sorrow stay? From autumn into winter falling, from spring into summer, flowing away. [Outro] A moon in water, a flower in glass.
