樱花落 - Cherry Blossoms Fall

[Verse 1] 那年溪上樱花落 That year, cherry blossoms fell upon stream 浅水分明映碧波 Clear shallow water mirrored green ripples 石间细瓣轻轻转 Fine petals softly turned through stones 一半停时一半过 Some lingered, some drifted on 溪边停坐看许久 By the stream, I watched long 不为寻谁不为说 Seeking no one, needing no words 只觉风轻春也静 Only wind felt light, spring felt still 花随流水去悠悠 Petals drifted downstream, far and slow [Chorus] 那年溪上樱花落 That year, petals fell upon stream 一瓣一瓣随溪流 Petal by petal, following current 不是多情偏驻足 No wistful heart made me linger 只因花去太温柔 Only because their leaving was too gentle [Verse 2] 树上繁花明如雪 Blossoms on branches shone like snow 水面轻红似流霞 Soft pink on water, like flowing rosy light 来人都爱拍花开 Most visitors framed blooming boughs 也有低头看落花 Some looked down at fallen blossoms 盛时自是惊人眼 In full bloom, they dazzle the eye 去处偏偏更难收 Yet as they leave, so hard to turn away 不是花开留住我 It was not blooming that held me there 是它欲去还回眸 But their leaving glanced back once [Chorus] 那年溪上樱花落 That year, petals fell upon stream 一瓣一瓣随溪流 Petal by petal, following current 不是多情偏驻足 No wistful heart made me linger 只因花去太温柔 Only because their leaving was too gentle [Bridge] 一溪落花无言语 A stream of fallen petals spoke no word 却把流年说得真 Yet told passing years so true 若问为何偏难忘 Why they remain so hard to forget 花飞花落春更深 As blossoms fly and fall, spring grows deep [Final Chorus] 那年溪上樱花落 That year, petals fell upon stream 如今还留旧影中 Old footage still holds that spring 年年落花总相似 Yearly fallen petals, still the same 岁岁游人各不同 Yearly visitors, never the same again [Outro] 今日溪上樱花落 Today, cherry petals fall upon stream 温柔依旧 Gentleness remains
