在水一方

Another side of the river

Original by 邓丽君

Translated and performed by Enjune Zhang

 

 

绿草苍苍白雾茫茫

Reeds green and vivid

Sky misty and vasty

有位佳人在水一方

Beauty in mind

Rests at another side of the river

绿草萋萋白雾迷离

Grass green and lively

Weather filmy and hazy

有位佳人靠水而居

Beauty in mind

Lives above the water

我愿逆流而上

I would like to go against current

依偎在她身旁

Just to keep her near

无奈前有险滩

However there is undercurrent ahead

道路又远又长

The way is long with distance unknown

我愿顺流而下

I would like to go down with the river

找寻她的方向

In search of her figure

却见依稀仿佛

It seems that she's just in an arm's length

她在水的中央

Right in the middle above the water

我愿逆流而上

I would like to go against current

与她轻言细语

Just to whisper in her ear

无奈前有险滩

However there is undercurrent ahead

道路曲折无已

The way is long with bending flexural

我愿顺流而下

I would like to go down with the river

找寻她的踪迹

In search of her smile

却见仿佛依稀

It seems that she's just in an arm's length

她在水中伫立

Right in the middle above the water

绿草苍苍白雾茫茫

Reeds green and vivid

Sky misty and vasty

有位佳人在水一方

Beauty in mind

Rests at another side of the river
