似水流年 Like Water, the Years Flow

mongmong望zoekjeuk著hoihoi海jatyat一pinpin片Gazing out at the wide sea,

munmun滿waaiwaai懷gyungyun倦moumou無leoileui淚jaaya也moumou無jinyin言weary through and through, with no tears and no words.

mongmong望zoekjeuk著tintin天jatyat一pinpin片Gazing up at the open sky,

ziji只gamgam感doudou到cingching情waaiwaai懷lyunlyun亂I feel only turmoil in my heart.

ngongo我dikdik的samsam心jauyau又cichi似siusiu小mukmuk木syunsyun船My heart is like a little wooden boat:

jyunyun遠gingging景batbat不gingin見it cannot see what lies ahead,

daandaan但jingying仍hoengheung向zoekjeuk著cinchin前but still it keeps heading on.

seoiseui誰zoijoi在mengmeng命leoileui裏zyujyu主zoijoi宰ngongo我Who is it that rules my fate?

muimui每tintin天zangjang掙zaatjaat扎janyan人hoihoi海leoileui裏minmin面Every day I struggle in the sea of people.

samsam心zungjung中gamgam感taantaan嘆cichi似seoiseui水laulau流ninnin年In my heart I sigh at the years flowing by like water.

batbat不hoho可jiyi以laulau留zyujyu住zokjok昨tintin天Yesterday cannot be held on to.

laulau留haaha下ziji只jauyau有sisi思nimnim念All that's left is longing,

jatyat一cyunchyun串cyunchyun串wingwing永jyunyun遠cinchin纏strand after strand, entwined forever.

houhou浩honhon瀚jinyin煙bobo波leilei里Out on the vast, misty waves,

ngongo我waaiwaai懷nimnim念waaiwaai懷nimnim念wongwong往ninnin年I remember, I remember the years gone by.

ngoingoi外maaumaau貌zoujou早goigoi改binbin變My looks changed long ago,

cyuchyu處gingging境doudou都binbin變my circumstances have changed too,

cingching情waaiwaai懷meimei未binbin變but my feelings have not.
