Lyrics (Original Chinese, Pinyin,  English Translation):

镌刻好 每道眉间心上
juān kè hǎo  měi dào méi jiān xīn shàng
Engrave, between each eyebrow, upon the heart

画间透过思量
huà jiān tòu guò sī liàng
Between every stroke, filled with ruminating thoughts

沾染了 墨色淌
zhān rǎn le  mò sè tǎng
Soaked, the color of ink flows

千家文 都泛黄
qiān jiā wén  dōu fàn huáng
Qian Jia Wen, all but turns yellow

夜静谧 窗纱微微亮
yè jìng mì  chuāng shā wēi wēi liàng
The night tranquil, gauze curtain aglow

拂袖起舞于梦中徘徊
fú xiù qǐ wǔ yú mèng zhōng pái huái
Raising sleeves in dance, hanging about in dreams

相思蔓上心扉
xiàng sī màn shàng xīn fēi
The vines of longing climbed up to her heart

她眷恋 梨花泪
tā juàn liàn  lí huā lèi
She longing for love, pear flower tears

静画红妆等谁归
jìng huà hóng zhuāng děng shuí guī
For whom did she wait in a red makeup

空留伊人徐徐憔悴
kōng liú yī rén xú xú qiáo cuì
Gradually she pined away in the vain hope

啊 胭脂香味
ā  yān zhī xiāng wèi
Ah, the perfume of powdered rouge

卷珠帘 是为谁
juàn zhū lián  shì wéi shuí
For whom the pearl-decorated curtain rolled up

啊 不见高轩
ā  bú jiàn gāo xuān
Ah, the carriage ridden by him is not in sight

夜月明 此时难为情
yè yuè míng  cǐ shí nán wéi qíng
In the bright moon night, uncontrollable were strong feelings

细雨落入初春的清晨
xì yǔ luò rù chū chūn de qīng chén
Drizzles fall into the early spring morn

悄悄唤醒枝芽
qiāo qiāo huàn xǐng zhī yá
Quietly awaken the shooting buds

听微风 耳畔响
tīng wēi fēng  ěr pàn xiǎng
Listening to the breeze, sounding upon the ears

叹流水兮落花伤
tàn liú shuǐ xī luò huā shāng
To give sigh to the flowing water, the sorrow of the fallen flower

谁在烟云处琴声长
shuí zài yān yún chù qín shēng zhǎng
Who is it that plays the mournful tune amid mists and clouds
