How many times the sunset turns red

时光留不住 春去已无踪 潮来又潮往 聚散苦匆匆

Time can’t be retained; spring has gone without trace; tide comes and tide goes; joining and parting all are bitterly hurried

往事不能忘 浮萍各西东 青山依旧在 几度夕阳红
wang3 shi4 bu4 neng2 wang4, fu2 ping1 ge4 xi1 dong1, qing1 shan1 yi1 jiu4 zai4, ji3 du4 xi4 yang2 hong2
The past can’t be forgotten; each duckweed flows to its western or eastern direction; the blue mountain exists like old days; how many times the sunset turns red?

且拭今宵泪 留与明夜风 风儿携我梦 天涯绕无穷
qie3 shi4 jin1 xiao1 lei4, liu2 yu3 ming2 ye4 feng1, feng1 er5 xie1 wo3 meng4, tian1 ya2 rao4 wu2 qiong2
For now, wipe out tonight’s tears; leave those to tomorrow night’s wind; wind brings my dream; it surrounds the edge of the sky without ending

朝朝共暮暮 相思古今同 青山依旧在 几度夕阳红
chao1 chao1 gong4 mu4 mu4, xiang1 si1 gu3 jin1 tong2, qing1 shan1 yi1 jiu4 zai4, ji3 du4 xi4 yang2 hong2
Dawns together with evening twilight, the longing is the same now as ancient time; blue mountain still remains like old days; how many times the sunset turns red?

Translated by Shu
