一
Missing, longing
Dawn and sunrise
The Crimson Pearl Herb of My Dreams
How I wish
To gaze at you forever like that
Be my Shenying Shizhe
Loot you
My beautiful dreams and stars.
Repay you
Your sorrowful tears and the sound of the flute
Moonlight and wind
Your eyes
A piece of gentle sky
My heart
A bird in anticipation
二
With your melancholy smile
Embrace my silent tears
And bless me with a seven-colored gaze.
You arrive gracefully and depart like a wisp of smoke.
Tap your heel against your narcissistic shadow behind you
Is your illusion stroking my dreamy youth
And with the back of it, you write my immortal lines of poetry.
I am always waiting by the dim lamp.
Look, before the vast sky
The flowers for burial are already arranged.
And the flickering communion
三
It is unbridled recklessness.
My desire has been freed
Across the deep sea of time
I'll trade a sunset for the world.
Openness like the tranquility of autumn leaves
Let me be a little bird in the dream forest
Let me be a happy swallow in the eternal passing light.
I will bring you all the crimson dreams
Don't lower your head, let time be as gentle as the waters of the southern lands.
Let flowers surround your leaping imagination.
You've arrived, Lin Meimei, who pastures laughter and tears.
My epic flying bird
With the sorrows of my young Werther
To linger in your deep dark eyes
When the moon rises
It will remind me of the Crimson Pearl Grass in my dreams.
