Lyrics and translation 費玉清 - 千裡之外

千裡之外

屋簷如懸崖 風鈴如滄海 我等燕歸來
時間被安排 演一場意外 妳悄然走開

故事在城外 濃霧散不開 看不清對白
妳聽不出來 風聲不存在 是我在感慨

夢醒來 是誰在窗台 把結局打開
那薄如蟬翼的未來 經不起誰來拆

我送妳離開 千里之外 妳無聲黑白
沉默年代 或許不該 太遙遠的相愛

我送妳離開 天涯之外 妳是否還在
琴聲何來 生死難猜 用一生 去等待

一身琉璃白 透明著塵埃 妳無瑕的愛
妳從雨中來 詩化了悲哀 我淋濕現在

芙蓉水面採 船行影猶在 妳卻不回來
被歲月覆蓋 妳說的花開 過去成空白

夢醒來 是誰在窗台 把結局打開
那薄如蟬翼的未來 經不起誰來拆

我送妳離開 千里之外 妳無聲黑白
沉默年代 或許不該 太遙遠的相愛

我送妳離開 天涯之外 妳是否還在
琴聲何來 生死難猜 用一生

我送妳離開 千里之外 妳無聲黑白
沉默年代 或許不該 太遙遠的相愛

我送妳離開 天涯之外 妳是否還在
琴聲何來 生死難猜 用一生 去等待

A Thousand Miles Away

The eaves are like a cliff, the wind chimes like the sea, we wait for the swallows to return
Time is arranged to play an accident, you quietly walk away

The story is outside the city, the fog cannot disperse, the dialogue cannot be seen clearly
You cannot hear the wind, it doesn't exist, it is my regret

When I wake up from the dream, who is on the windowsill, opening the ending
The future as thin as cicada wings, cannot withstand anyone dismantling it

I sent you away, a thousand miles away, you are silent, black and white
In the silent years, perhaps it should not be so, a love that is too distant

I sent you away, beyond the horizon, are you still there
Where did the sound of the qin come from, life and death are hard to guess, using a lifetime to wait

A body of pure white jade, transparent with dust, your flawless love
You came from the rain, turning sorrow into poetry, and I am drenched in the present

Picking on the lotus water surface, the boat's shadow is still there, but you do not come back
Covered by the years, the flowers you said would bloom, the past has become a blank

When I wake up from the dream, who is on the windowsill, opening the ending
The future as thin as cicada wings, cannot withstand anyone dismantling it

I sent you away, a thousand miles away, you are silent, black and white
In the silent years, perhaps it should not be so, a love that is too distant

I sent you away, beyond the horizon, are you still there
Where did the sound of the qin come from, life and death are hard to guess, using a lifetime

I sent you away, a thousand miles away, you are silent, black and white
In the silent years, perhaps it should not be so, a love that is too distant

I sent you away, beyond the horizon, are you still there
Where did the sound of the qin come from, life and death are hard to guess, using a lifetime to wait
