Shiyan   Promise

Melody - Japanese

 
Jiangshui dong liu, yiqu jiu bu huitou,
You shi luoye shihou..
Jide ni wo jiu zai cidi fenshou,
Zhuanyan yi san qiu!
Ni ke zhidao wo, tiantian zai denghou,
Deng ni yu wo chang xiangshou.
Ni linzou liugei wo di shiyan,
Jiu xiang jiangshui bu huitou.
 
Tr. Ed Peaslee
Eastward flows the river, never turning back,
And the time of falling leaves is here once more.
I remember it was here where once we said farewell,
How quickly three autumns have passed!
You may know that I am waiting day by day,
Waiting the time when we will be together again.
But it seems the promise you made as you were leaving
Is just like the river, never turning back.
