信劄拆封谁为难 不过寥寥数行
xìn zhā chāi fēng shuí wéi nán bù guò liáo liáo shù xíng
Who is troubled by the letters that have been opened? It’s just a few lines.
娟秀字迹温柔 却感伤
juān xiù zì jì wēn róu què gǎn shāng
Elegant handwriting is gentle yet evokes sadness.
你将心事 上了淡妆
nǐ jiāng xīn shì shàng le dàn zhuāng
You have adorned your heart with light makeup.
该说的话 却被仔细收藏
gāi shuō de huà què bèi zǐ xì shōu cáng
The words that should be spoken are carefully kept.
暮色望垂杨 拱桥粼粼月光
mù sè wàng chuí yáng gǒng qiáo lín lín yuè guāng
At dusk, I look at the hanging willows, the arched bridge reflecting the moonlight.
忆往事我走笔 也阑珊
yì wǎng shì wǒ zǒu bǐ yě lán shān
Recalling the past, my pen moves slowly, feeling abandoned.
红颜如霜 凝结了过往
hóng yán rú shuāng níng jié le guò wǎng
Beauty, like frost, has solidified the past.
芦苇花开岁已寒 若霜又降路遥漫长
lú wěi huā kāi suì yǐ hán ruò shuāng yòu jiàng lù yáo màn cháng
The reeds bloom as the year grows cold, as frost falls on the long, distant road.
墙外是谁在吟唱 凤求凰
qiáng wài shì shuí zài yín chàng fèng qiú huáng
Who is singing outside the wall? The phoenix seeks a mate.
梨园台上 西皮二黄
lí yuán tái shàng xī pí èr huáng
On the opera stage, the melodies in the 'Xi Pi' and 'Er Huang' style.
却少了你 无人问暖
què shǎo le nǐ wú rén wèn nuǎn
But without you, no one asks about warmth.
谁在彼岸 天涯一方
shuí zài bǐ àn tiān yá yī fāng
Who is at the other shore, a world apart?
一句甚安勿念 你说落笔太难
yī jù shèn ān wù niàn nǐ shuō luò bǐ tài nán
A line of 'Don’t worry about me'—you say it’s hard to write it down.
窗外古琴幽兰 琴声平添孤单
chuāng wài gǔ qín yōu lán qín shēng píng tiān gū dān
Outside the window, the ancient guqin plays softly, adding to my loneliness.
我墨走了几行 泪潸然落了款
wǒ mò zǒu le jǐ xíng lèi shān rán là le kuǎn
My ink has flowed several lines, and tears fall gently.
思念徒留纸上 一整篇被晕染
sī niàn tú liú zhǐ shàng yī zhěng piān bèi yūn rǎn
Yearning is left on paper, an entire page is blurred.
一句甚安勿念 你说落笔太难
yī jù shèn ān wù niàn nǐ shuō luò bǐ tài nán
A line of 'Don’t worry about me'—you say it’s hard to write it down.
何故远走潇湘 你却语多委婉
hé gù yuǎn zǒu xiāo xiāng nǐ què yǔ duō wěi wǎn
Why wander far in Xiaoxiang? Your words remain polite.
走过萧瑟秋凉 等来芒草催黄
zǒu guò xiāo sè qiū liáng děng lái máng cǎo cuī huáng
Walking through the desolate and chilly autumn, waiting for the miscanthus to turn yellow.
而我遥望轻轻叹
ér wǒ yáo wàng qīng qīng tàn
And I gaze far away, letting out a soft sigh.

How far apart are the places you’ve sent me from home?
一封信到底转了 几道弯

How many twists has the letter taken?
缘分飘落 在山外山
yuán fēn piāo luò zài shān wài shān
