Lyrics and translation 江淑娜 - 忘情水

忘情水

曾经年少爱追梦 一心只想往前飞
行遍千山和万水 一路走来不能回
蓦然回首情已远 身不由已在天边
才明白爱恨情仇 最伤最痛是后悔
如果你不曾心碎 你不会懂得我伤悲
当我眼中有泪 别问我是为谁
就让我忘了这一切
啊 给我一杯忘情水 换我一夜不流泪
所有真心真意 任它雨打风吹
付出的爱收不回
给我一杯忘情水 换我一生不伤悲
就算我会喝醉 就算我会心碎
不会看见我流泪

当我眼中有泪 别问我是为谁

所有真心真意 任它雨打风吹

给我一杯忘情水 换我一生不伤悲
就算我会喝醉 就算我会心碎
不会看见我流泪

Oblivion Water

Long ago, I was a spirited youth just longing to soar high,
Traversing mountains and rivers -- my heart set on the future and not once looking back,
When I suddenly realized that love had escaped me, and yet -- helpless -- I was far, far away,
Only then did I understand the deep pain of regret -- the acutest of all emotions.
If your heart's never broken, my sorrow you could never comprehend,
So when you see tears welling up in my eyes, don't ask to whom they belong,
Just let me forget it all,
Oh, give me a cup of oblivion water and save me a sleepless night of tears,
Let all my true sincerity be subject to nature's whims,
My heartfelt affection -- impossible to retrieve.
Give me a cup of oblivion water and save me a lifetime of heartbreak,
Even if I'll get drunk from it, even if it shatters me,
You'll never see me cry.
