As If an Old Friend Has Returned
Music: Luo Dayou Lyrics: Luo Dayou
We were both just passing through, both having dreamed before We should have been a pair
In youth, one doesn't notice in dreams that after waking, one must go back
Three meals and one night's lodging, also sharing a pair
Who on earth could it be
Whatever is not obtained
Whatever is past
Always seems the best match （Note: "best match" means a man and woman who suit each other）
You watch below the stage, I perform on the stage the play you want to do
You, an old acquaintance who forgot your worries before me, can you still remember
Joy and sorrow, aging, sickness, life and death
Hardly count as legend
Resenting the stage's intimacy
Or the me and you below the stage
Are not me and you
The mortal world is vast and dim
Heaven's will is boundless and vague
Separating you and me
Heartbreaking words bit by bit
The sound of wind and rain without end
As if an old friend has returned
On what day again, in what place again shall we meet
Saying tonight is truly warm
No fate, yet there is affinity, memories unceasing
But life is bitterly short
One longing
Two painful loves
Half a lifetime is not enough to finish telling it
In the abyss of years
Gazing far at the bright moon
Imagining your sorrow and grievance
music
Whether leaving you behind or leaving me behind
To grow old in this world
Before parting
We never knew facing each other then was that good
Holding your hand
Yet parting again
Loved so deeply, yet had and had not
Ten years later, the two of us
Ten thousand years later, still a pair
Only hating that we cannot see it

Not bad, what a pity that Sister Mui has already gone far away from us...

I used to have this song on my E: drive, but after one disaster all my mp3s were lost.

The hardest thing in the world to explain is love, but the most talked-about and most eternal topic is also love.
