jing4 jin4 ji2 zoi6 sat1 min4 je6 mong6 tin1 bin1 sing1 sau3
仍然倚在失眠夜 望天边星宿
Still leaning in this sleepless night, gazing at the distant stars
jing4 jin4 teng1 gin3 siu2 tai4 kam4 jyu4 jap1 ci5 sou3 zoi3 tiu1 dau6
仍然听见小提琴 如泣似诉在挑逗
Still hearing the violin, teasing gently like a weeping confession
wai6 ho4 zi2 sing6 jat1 waan1 jyut6 lau4 zoi6 ngo5 dik1 tin1 hung1
为何只剩一弯月 留在我的天空
Why is only a crescent moon left hanging in my empty sky?
ze5 maan5 ji5 hau6 jam1 seon3 gaak3 zyut6
这晚以后音讯隔绝
After tonight, all word of you is cut off forever
jan4 jyu4 tin1 soeng6 dik1 ming4 jyut6 si6 bat1 ho2 jung2 jau5
人如天上的明月 是不可拥有
You are like the bright moon in heaven, forever out of reach
cing4 jyu4 kuk1 gwo3 zi2 wai4 lau4 mou4 ho2 waan5 gau3 zoi3 fan1 bit6
情如曲过只遗留 无可挽救再分别
Love is like a song ended, leaving only an irreversible farewell
wai6 ho4 zi2 si6 sat1 mong6 tin4 mat6 ngo5 dik1 hung1 heoi1
为何只是失望 填密我的空虚
Why does sheer disappointment alone fill up my hollow void?
ze5 maan5 je6 mut6 jau5 man5 bit6
这晚夜没有吻别
On this cold night, there was not even a goodbye kiss
jing4 zoi6 syut3 wing5 gau2 soeng2 bat1 dou3 si6 zik6 hau2
仍在说永久 想不到是藉口
Still speaking of forever, never imagining it was just an excuse
cung4 mei6 ji3 wui6 jiu3 fan1 sau2
从未意会要分手
Never realizing that it meant breaking apart
daan6 ngo5 dik1 sam1 mui5 fan1 mui5 hak1 jing4 jin4 bei6 taa1 zim3 jau5
但我的心每分每刻仍然被她占有
Yet my heart every single moment is still consumed by her
taa1 ci5 ze5 jyut6 ji4 jing4 jin4 si6 bat1 hoi1 hau2
她似这月儿 仍然是不开口
She is like this quiet moon, remaining silently aloof
tai4 kam4 duk6 zau3 duk6 zau3 zoek6 ming4 jyut6 bun3 ji2 sam1 cau1
提琴独奏独奏着 明月半倚深秋
The solo violin plays on and on: 'The half moon leaning on late autumn'
ngo5 dik1 hin1 gwaa3 ngo5 dik1 hot3 mong6 zik6 zi3 ji5 hau6
我的牵挂 我的渴望 直至以后
All my longing, all my devotion, lingering on forevermore
jing4 jin4 ji2 zoi6 sat1 min4 je6 mong6 tin1 bin1 sing1 sau3
仍然倚在失眠夜 望天边星宿
