紅玫瑰 [Hóng méi guī] [English translation]

Dreaming an endless dream in a dream

The restrained red in the red thread

After all thrills, only pains from fatigue

Then, complete indifference

As I embrace you from your behind

The face you're expecting is not mine

It can't be more ironic

I hardly understand but hope you do

Is happiness too light to be light

And doesn't hurt even if abused?

Ripe and red, an empty pupil

Finally cleared, no end obtained

Those who can't get are always in turmoil

While the preferred feel reassured and emboldened

The red of rose - A fragile dream

When held in hand, it flows away through finger seams

And all becomes in vain

The red is a cinnabaric mole on my heart

And so ordinary as a mosquito's blood

Time ornamented the remaining palpitation

And excitation as well

As I embrace you from your behind

The face you're expecting is not mine

It can't be more ironic

I hardly understand but hope you do

Is happiness too light to be light

And doesn't hurt even if abused?

Ripe and red, an empty pupil

Finally cleared, no end obtained

Those who can't get are always in turmoil

While the preferred feel reassured and emboldened

The red of rose - A fragile dream

When held in hand, it flows away through finger seams

And all becomes in vain

Is love too light to be light

And doesn't hurt even if abused?

Fiery burnt, meandering and twisting in my heart

Finally frozen, no end obtained

Those who can't get are always in turmoil

While the preferred feel reassured and emboldened

The red of rose - A fragile dream

When held in hand, it flows away through finger seams

Those who can't get are always in turmoil

While the preferred feel reassured and emboldened

The red of rose - A fragile dream

When held in hand, it flows away through finger seams

And all becomes in vain again
