Gazing at the horizon ,where am I?

Jìdé dāngchū, fāngcǎo xiéyáng

I remembered a long time ago, the fragrant grass and the slanting sunlight,

Yǔhòu xīnhé, chūtù fēnfāng

The young lotus blossoms after rain, being the first to give out fragrance.

Yuán dìng sānshēng, duōshǎo chīkuáng

缘定三生,多少痴狂?

Fated to meet for three lifetimes, how much sentimentality?

Zì jūn bié hòu,shān gāo shuǐ cháng

Ever since you left, the mountains seemed tall and the rivers seemed long.

Hún xī mèng xī, bùcéng xiāngwàng

魂兮梦兮,不曾相忘,

Souls and dreams, never to forget each other,

Tiānshàng rénjiān, wúxiàn sīliáng

天上人间,无限思量。

Heaven and earth, endless are the yearings.

Tiān yóuyóu, shuǐ yóuyóu

天悠悠,水悠悠,

The sky is serene,the river is tranquil,

Róuqíng sì shuǐ, wǎngshì nán liú

Tender feelings flow like the river, the past could not be retained.

Holding hands at the pavilion, looking into each other’s eyes.

Zhúyǐng yáo hóng, duōshǎo wēnróu

Qiánshēng yǒu yuē,jīnshēng nán qiú

前生有约,今生难求,

In a previous life we had a pre-ordained love, in this life it was hard to find,

Zì jūn bié hòu, jǐdù chūnqiū
