也许抑或许你已经把我给忘怀了吧
要不然怎会置我于这地方不闻不顾
竟连时间韶转飞逝多少实难再计算
只知道头上鬓发全都变了颜色模样
但依还仍是不愿怨恨尽管是你负心
让我流了那么多泪水化作江河溪涧
四处寻觅试图盼获得任何有关消息
于是乎为要向老天证明我对你底爱
情愿迳让自己泪涔泉涌继续贯潺流
穿越所有土地角落散播信讯予你晓
说故乡有人深望归期在最高座山峰

Beloved at the Mountain Peak

Perhaps you have erased me from your memories;
Or how could you leave me alone, neglecting me as
such?
How much time that has fled away is really hard to
count.
What’s known is nothing but my hair turning into
gray and white.
Still unwilling to resent you despite your
betrayal,
Which renders my torrential tears into rivers and
streams,
I am desperate for anything about you, here and
there.
To testify my love for you to the Almighty,
I’ll allow the brooks of my tears to flow
incessantly
To send you the message that, seeping into every
land and corner,
Someone in the hometown yearns for your return at
that mountain peak.
