Lyrics and translation Jody Chiang - 湯島白梅記

湯島白梅記

恨命运来逼害
鸳鸯分东西
情难忘为伊一人
重回故乡来
真无疑晴天霹雳
好花变成相思栽
啊 红颜薄命
女性的悲哀
温泉乡罩濛雾
白梅已盛开
彼一对苦命鸳鸯
难得结将来
青春梦变成水泡
肝肠寸断声声哀
啊 昔日惜别
痛苦谁人知
恨命运来逼害
鸳鸯分东西
情难忘为伊一人
重回故乡来
真无疑晴天霹雳
好花变成相思栽
啊 红颜薄命
女性的悲哀

Yushima Hakubaiki

I resent that fate forces us apart,
Separating mandarin ducks east and west.
My love for you is unforgettable, my darling,
I return to our hometown to be reunited.
It's like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky,
My beautiful flower has wilted into a symbol of lovesickness.
Oh, she who is beautiful but unfortunate,
The tragedy of a woman's life.
Onsenkyo is shrouded in fog,
The white plum blossoms are in full bloom.
That pair of ill-fated mandarin ducks
May never find happiness together.
Our youthful dreams have burst like bubbles,
Our hearts are broken, and our cries of sorrow echo.
Oh, our painful parting,
Who can understand our suffering?
I resent that fate forces us apart,
Separating mandarin ducks east and west.
My love for you is unforgettable, my darling,
I return to our hometown to be reunited.
It's like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky,
My beautiful flower has wilted into a symbol of lovesickness.
Oh, she who is beautiful but unfortunate,
The tragedy of a woman's life.
