月光悄悄流淌
yuèguāng qiāoqiāo liútǎng
Moonlight flows silently
停泊在昨日故乡的枝条
tíngbó zài zuórì gùxiāng de zhītiáo
It moored on the branches of my hometown yesterday
浮云挽起衣角
fúyún wǎnqǐ yījiǎo
The clouds lifted the hem of my clothes
今晚的风有桂花香
jīnwǎn de fēng yǒu guì-huā-xiāng
The scent of osmanthus lingers in the wind tonight
听山细语路遥遥
tīng shān xìyǔ lù yáo yáo
Listen to the mountains whispering on the long journey
何时再见旧时烟火芬芳
héshí zàijiàn jiùshí yānhuǒ fēnfāng
When can I feel the old warmth and life of home again?*
捕风的影 奔波往返在命运的桥
bǔfēng de yǐng, bēnbō wǎngfǎn zài mìngyùn de qiáo
The shadow chasing the wind is running back and forth on the bridge of fate
日升月落
rì shēng yuè luò
The sun rises and the moon sets
怕是又念情长
pà shì yòu niàn qíng cháng
The feelings still linger
只此 人间草木繁花似催人憔
zhǐcǐ rénjiān cǎo-mù-fán-huā sì cuī-rén-qiáo
Now, the flowers and grass of the mortal world seem to be making people sallow

Glitz flashes by
雕琢成沧桑
diāozhuó chéng cāngsāng
Carvings become damaged
平凡可抵漫长
píngfán kě dǐ màncháng
Ordinary can fight against eternity
悲欢皆不知你的模样
bēihuān jiē bùzhī nǐ de múyàng
Neither joy nor sorrow knows your face
世间纷扰难收场
shìjiān fēnrǎo nán shōuchǎng
The chaos in the world is hard to conclude
我愿独守桂花香
wǒ yuàn dúshǒu guìhuā xiāng
I’d rather guard the scent of osmanthus alone
盼旧人沐新芽
pàn jiùrén mù xīnyá,
Hoping for people from the past to water the new sprouts
花开自赏
huā kāi zì shǎng
I’ll enjoy the flowers alone when they bloom
冷暖无恙
lěng nuǎn wú yàng
It doesn’t matter if it’s cold or warm
长安可是 去岭南的方向

Will eternal peace be found in the direction of Ling Nan?**
月升日落
yuè shēng rì luò
The moon rises and the sun sets

Time can’t withstand against longing
过往终将是来日方长
