Nanwang Chulian Qingren
Remembering My First Love


Melody -

 
Shi aiqing bugou shen,
Haishi wei yuanfen?
Xiwang ni gaosu wo,
Chuliande qingren.

Ni wo ge fen dongxi,
Zhe shi sheide zeren?
Wo dui ni yong nanwang.
Wo dui ni qingyi zhen,
Zhi dao haiku-shilan,
Nanwangde chulian qingren.

Cong zaochen dao huanghun
Wei ni mo leihen,
Xiwang ni gaosu wo,
Zailai wo jiamen.

Wo yao xiang ni qingsu,
Xinzhong wuxian kumen,
Zhi yao ni xin bu bian,
Wo yijiu qingyi shen
Zhi dao haiku-shilan,
Nanwangde chulian qingren.
 
Tr. Ed Peaslee
Was our love not deep enough,
Or never meant to be?
I hope that you will tell me,
My very first love.

You and I are far apart,
And whose fault is that?
I never will forget you.
My love for you will be true.
Until seas dry and rocks decay,
I will remember my first love.

From the dawn until the dusk
I wipe away the tears,
Hoping to hear you say
That you will come back to me.

I want to tell you how I feel,
My heart is full of sorrow,
I only wish you to be faithful,
My love for you will last.
Until seas dry and rocks decay,
I will remember my first love.
