yeung讓maan晚fung風hing輕hing輕cheui吹sung送liu了lok落ha霞ngo我yi已jaap習gwaan慣mui每go個pong傍maan晚heui去seung想ta她Let the evening breeze gently carry off the sunset glow; I'm used to thinking of her every evening.

joi在yun遠fong方dik的ta她chi此haak刻ho可ji知dou道je這dyun段ching情joi在ngo我sam心chi始jung終gei記gwa掛Does she, far away, know right now that this love is always on my mind?

joi在je這bun半saan山na那tin天ngo我ji知ngo我ji知faai快jeung將yiu要bit別lei離mut沒syut說wa話Here on the hillside that day, I knew, I knew we'd soon part, and I said nothing.

mong望heung向ta她keuk卻teng聽dou到ta她syut說bat不yiu要seung相yeuk約jung縱si使fan分gaak隔seung相oi愛bat不wui會hoi害pa怕I looked at her and heard her say: we don't need promises to meet; even apart, our love won't be afraid.

yiu遙yiu遙maan萬lei里sam心sing聲yau有fau否pin偏cha差jing正si是yeung讓je這oi愛si試cheut出jan真yu與ga假Ten thousand miles apart, will our hearts drift? That is exactly what will test whether this love is true or false.

yiu遙yun遠dik的ta她fong彷fat彿je借fung風sing聲gan跟ngo我wa話yit熱ching情yeuk若mou無bin變na那gun管ta它chong滄song桑bin變fa化Faraway her, as if speaking to me through the wind: if our passion doesn't change, why care how the years change things?

daan但je這tin天sau收dou到ta她ba爸ba爸dik的yat一fung封seun信seun信leui裡min面syut說hyut血ngaam癌yi已daai帶jau走ta她But today a letter came from her father, saying leukaemia has taken her.

daan但gok覺dak得hung空heui虛dik的sam心fong彷fat彿yi已geung僵fa化gwo過heui去si事jeung像paau炮daan彈sam心jung中baau爆ja炸My empty heart feels as if it has turned to stone; the past explodes inside me like a shell.

joi在je這bun半saan山je這tin天ngo我bei悲tung痛bei悲tung痛bat不yi已joi在wu胡lyun亂syut說wa話Here on the hillside today, in grief, unending grief, I talk without sense.

ye夜yu雨jung中chi似teng聽dou到ta她syut說bat不yiu要seung相yeuk約jung縱si使fan分gaak隔seung相oi愛bat不wui會hoi害pa怕In the night rain I seem to hear her say: we don't need promises to meet; even apart, our love won't be afraid.

yan人mou無mik覓chyu處sam心sing聲yau有fau否pin偏cha差jing正si是yeung讓je這oi愛si試cheut出jan真yu與ga假She is nowhere to be found; will our hearts drift? That is exactly what will test whether this love is true or false.

yiu遙yun遠dik的ta她fong彷fat彿je借fung風sing聲gan跟ngo我wa話yit熱ching情yeuk若mou無bin變na那gun管ta它chong滄song桑bin變fa化Faraway her, as if speaking to me through the wind: if our passion doesn't change, why care how the years change things?

yiu遙yun遠dik的ta她bat不ho可yi以joi再gwai歸ga家ngo我joi在mung夢leui裡keuk卻chi始jung終ji祇yau有ta她Faraway her can never come home again, yet in my dreams there is only ever her.

yiu遙yun遠dik的ta她ho可ji知ngo我sam心jung中dik的syut說wa話yit熱ching情bing並mou無bin變na那gun管ta它chong滄song桑bin變fa化Faraway her, do you know what's in my heart? My passion hasn't changed, whatever changes the years bring.
