Lyrics

Vain Longing

One is an immortal flower of fairy land

The other fair flawless jade

And were it not predestined

Why should they meet again in this existence?

Yet if predestined, predestined

Why does their love come to nothing?

One sighs to no purpose

Why does their love come to nothing?

The other yearns in vain

One is the moon reflected in the water

Thе other but a flower in the mirror

How many tеars fall from her eyes

Can they flow from autumn to winter

How many tears fall from her eyes

Can they flow from spring to summer

Autumn to winter, spring to summer

Autumn to winter, spring to summer

Why does their love come to nothing?

One sighs to no purpose

Why does their love come to nothing?

The other yearns in vain

In vain
