Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “First Encounter”
yè wèi yāng
夜 未 央
The night has not ended
yuè sè liáng yìng xī chuāng
月 色 凉 映 西 窗
The cold moonlight reflects the western window
qián chén shì shèn sī liàng
前 尘 事 慎 思 量
Carefully recounting the past over and over
mèng yōu zhǎng
梦 悠 长
The dream is long
què zǒng shì jù sàn liǎng máng máng
却 总 是 聚 散 两 茫 茫
Yet we’re always meeting and then separating
shī yǎn kuàng zhī pàn nǐ huí wàng
湿 眼 眶 只 盼 你 回 望
With teary eyes, I long only for you to glance back
shāng zài xīn lǐ jié chéng shuāng
伤 在 心 里 结 成 霜
The wound in my heart has frosted over
wàng bú diào shì nǐ de mó yàng
忘 不 掉 是 你 的 模 样
What I cannot forget is your appearance
huí shǒu chū jiàn nà cóng qián
回 首 初 见 那 从 前
Recalling our first encounter in the past
xiàng wàng de shùn jiān
相 望 的 瞬 间
The instant where we both saw each other
zhuā bú zhù shēn chū de zhǐ jiān
抓 不 住 伸 出 的 指 尖
Unable to grasp those out-reached fingers
lí xīn suì kōng liú lèi rén bú guī
离 心 碎 空 流 泪 人 不 归
A broken heart from separation, futile tears because you have not returned
wàng chuān zhī shuǐ
忘 川 之 水
The water of the river of forgetfulness
wàng chuān shuǐ
忘 川 水
The water of the river of forgetfulness
jìng kàn hóng chén shì fēi
静 看 红 尘 是 非
quietly watch the disputes of the mortal realm
shí guāng dǎo huí yǐn xià wàng qíng yī bēi
时 光 倒 回 饮 下 忘 情 一 杯
Reversing time, drinking that cup to forget affections
ruò rú chū jiàn wéi shuí ér guī
若 如 初 见 为 谁 而 归
If it was like our first encounter, who will I return for
qiū yòu qù chūn yòu guī
秋 又 去 春 又 归
Yet again, autumn has passed and spring is returning
mèng yǔ xǐng lún huí
梦 与 醒 轮 回
Dreaming and waking, it’s another cycle
yè wèi yāng
夜 未 央
