[Intro]
江月在水
The moon rests on the river

水月無聲
River and moon, both wordless

[Verse 1]
風過汀蘆
Wind moves through the reeds by the shore

白露微凝
White dew gathers in the hush

一痕橋影
The bridge leaves just a trace

半入空明半個天空
Half in the lucid water, half in the open sky

我未開門
I have not opened the door

也未掩燈
Nor have I dimmed the light

只聽遠水
I only listen to the distant water

流向更深
Running into deeper dark

[Verse 2]
月照孤舟
Moonlight falls upon a lonely boat

舟行極輕
It drifts so softly through the night

不向人問
It asks nothing of anyone

只向波心
Only follows the heart of the waves

有些舊意
Some old feelings

到此微明
Grow faintly clear here at last

若說太早
If spoken too soon

反失其真
They lose what made them true

[Chorus]
不必說盡
There is no need to say it all

江月自會應人
The moon and river will answer for us

一窗微火
A small light by the window

臨水長明
Still burns beside the water

若有歸舟
If a returning boat should appear

便向此岸輕停
Let it come and rest upon this shore

我把未說完的心事
The words I never found a way to finish

留與夜深
I leave them to the deep of night

[Bridge] [橋樑]
山色如昔
The hills remain as they once were

夜氣初沉
Night settles in, slow and deep

人間聚散
All our meetings and partings

都入波紋
Dissolve into the rings of water

你若未至
If you do not come

我亦不問
I will not ask why

只將此心
I will only keep this heart

慢慢養溫
And warm it, little by little

[Final Chorus]
不必說盡
There is no need to say it all

江月自會應人
The moon and river will answer for us

一窗微火
A small light by the window

臨水長明
Still burns beside the water

若有歸舟
If a returning boat should appear

便向此岸輕停
Let it come and rest upon this shore

我把未說完的心事
The words I never found a way to finish

留與夜深
I leave them to the deep of night

[Outro] [結尾]
月不言
The moon says nothing

水不言
The water says nothing

風過竹外
Wind moves beyond the bamboo

夜色如銀
And night turns silver

舟若來時
If the boat returns one day

燈仍未隱
The lamp will still be there燈還是會存在的

江心一片清輝
A sheet of clear light on the river

可照故人
Enough to shine upon an old beloved soul
