两个永恒

天上有新月如钩
地上有烟锁重楼
人间有永恒的爱
几人能永恒相守

同是天涯沦落人
相逢但求人长久
红颜自古如名将
不许人间见白头

天上有新月如钩
地上有烟锁重楼
两个永恒情无限
拼得今生万古愁

世间多少痴儿女
爱到深处无怨尤
天苍苍兮地茫茫
情绵绵兮恨悠悠

(Repeat)

English #1 – Two Eternities

In the sky hangs a hooklike crescent,
On the ground covers smoke the towers;
In the mortal world is there sempiternal love,
But few can stay forever with each other.

Both of us have the same misfortune,
Once met, only to ask for a long time.
A beauty, since ancient times, is like a famous general,
Too unfortunate to die old.

In the sky hangs a hooklike crescent,
On the ground covers smoke the towers;
Two eternities, the unlimited love,
Pieced together into the everlasting sorrow.

Countless mutually infatuated pairs in the world
Love deeply without complaint;
How vast the sky is, how boundless the earth is,
How continuous love is and how much hate is.16
