离人愁(Whispers of the Homeland)
[Intro] (Instrumental) [Verse 1] 窗棂雨,檐角风,酒醉梦醒第几重? Rain on lattice, wind at eaves, how many layers of dreams awakened by wine? 往事沉,孤怀冷,一抔相思染秋浓。 Past sinks deep, lonely heart stays cold, a handful of yearning dyes the autumn rich. [Pre-Chorus 1] 柳岸泊残月,归舟渡晚钟。 Waning moon anchors by the willow bank, returning boat crosses the evening bell. 人面不知何处去,桃花依旧笑春风。 The fair face is gone who knows where, yet peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze. [Chorus] 清宵生冷露,只影怨寒灯。 Cold dew forms in the quiet night, a solitary shadow resents the chilly lamp. 人生自有情,痴心寄疏桐。 Life naturally holds deep affection, infatuated hearts are placed on sparse parasol trees. 绿水绕长汀,浓雾断青峰。 Green water winds around the long shore, thick mist cuts off the green peaks. 愿借西风返,把酒诉情衷。 Would that I could borrow the west wind to return, and hold wine to pour out my heart. [Interlude] (Instrumental) [Verse 2] 关山雪,长安夜,小楼凭栏意忡忡。 Snow on the mountain pass, night over Chang'an, leaning on the railing of the small tower with a heavy heart. 黄花落,旧巷空,故里炊烟几时逢? Yellow flowers wither, old alleys lie empty, when shall I encounter the kitchen smoke of my hometown again? [Pre-Chorus 2] 野村藏古渡,杏花见牧童。 Wild village hides the ancient ferry, apricot blossoms encounter the cowherd boy. 夕阳无限销魂处,离人怎奈——晚霜浓? Where the sunset is infinitely soul-stirring, how can the parting one bear the heavy evening frost? [Bridge] 谁家玉笛闻折柳,一夜洛城尽白头。 From whose home comes the jade flute playing "Folding Willows", making Luoyang turn white overnight. 曲终人散不见君,烟波千里空悠悠。 The song ends and people disperse but you are nowhere to be seen, misty waves stretch for a thousand miles in vain. [Instrumental Solo] (Instrumental) [Final Chorus] 清宵生冷露,只影怨寒灯。 Cold dew forms in the quiet night, a solitary shadow resents the chilly lamp. 人生自有情,痴心寄疏桐。 Life naturally holds deep affection, infatuated hearts are placed on sparse parasol trees. 春山终可望,乡音再难逢。 Spring mountains can finally be seen in the distance, yet the accent of home is hard to meet again. 浮生皆过客,与君一醉意何如? Floating life consists of nothing but passing guests, how about a deep drunk with you? [Outro] 夜凉似水,一枕幽梦。 The night is as cool as water, a pillow of secluded dreams. 长风万里,候我归程。 The vast wind spans ten thousand miles, awaiting my return journey. [Solo] (Instrumental Fade Out)
