[verse]
Raise my cup and ask the sky
Where the palace stands so high
Wanna ride the wind and fly
But afraid of heights so sly
[pre-chorus]
Drunk I dance with shadows play
Moon can't beat the earth's display
Through red windows moonlight streams
Keeps me up with endless dreams
[chorus]
Why must parting come with moon
Joy and grief will fade so soon
Moon will wax and wane its tune
Perfection's never in boon
Wish my loved ones safe from gloom
Though we're far we share this moon
Basking in its silver bloom
[verse]
Toast the moon with all my heart
Jade towers where night won't part
Wanna fly where dreams may start
But the cold makes fears restart
[pre-chorus]
Drunk I see two shadows blend
Earth beats moon where scents extend
Moonlight climbs the carved wall tall
With my thoughts till dawn does call
[chorus]
Why must parting come with moon
Joy and grief will fade so soon
Moon will wax and wane its tune
Perfection's never in boon
Wish my loved ones safe from gloom
Though we're far we share this moon
Basking in its silver bloom
[verse]
The wind and rain worry about the flowers
After the wind and rain, the flowers are hard to keep
I advise you not to be intoxicated in the flower tower
The flowers fade, and spring and autumn return; flowers fade, and we grow old
[pre-chorus]
Drink a few cups while you're in high spirits
Explore the streams and mountains for leisurely enjoyment
[chorus]
With wine, I feel free
With flowers, I'm still elegant; Without flowers, I'm still elegant; Why bother asking about spring and autumn
[verse]
The wind and rain worry about the flowers
After the wind and rain, flowers are hard to find
I advise you to cherish your youthful adventures
Flowers fall several times in autumn; Flowers fall, and we grow old
[pre-chorus]
Drink a few cups while you're in high spirits
Explore the mountains and rivers for peace of mind
[chorus]
With wine, I feel free
With flowers, I'm still elegant; Without flowers, I'm still elegant; Why bother asking about spring and autumn
[Verse]
The wind and rain worry for the flowers, making them even more sorrowful.
When the wind and rain stop, the flowers will fade.
I urge you not to be stingy about getting drunk in front of the flowers.
This year the flowers fade, next year the tears.
[Prechorus]
Don't let your hair grow gray.
[Chorus]
The flowers fade gracefully, spring passes.
The flowers bloom the same, but people are different.
Year after year, amidst the wind and rain, the flowers fade gracefully.
[Verse 2]
A couple of cups of wine to enjoy.
Select the beauty of the streams and mountains, and pursue your travels.
As long as there's wine, I'm free.
Let go of worldly affairs.
[Prechorus]
Don't let your hair grow gray.
[Chorus]
The flowers fade gracefully, spring passes.
The flowers bloom the same, but people are different.
Year after year, amidst the wind and rain, the flowers fade gracefully.
[Verse]
The wind and rain worry for the flowers, making them even more sorrowful.
When the wind and rain stop, the flowers will fade.
I urge you not to be stingy about getting drunk in front of the flowers.
This year the flowers fade, next year the tears.
[Prechorus]
Don't let your hair grow gray.
[Chorus]
The flowers fade gracefully, spring passes.
The flowers bloom the same, but people are different.
Year after year, amidst the wind and rain, the flowers fade gracefully.
[Verse 2]
A couple of cups of wine to enjoy.
Select the beauty of the streams and mountains, and pursue your travels.

[Chorus]
The flowers fade gracefully, spring passes.
The flowers bloom the same, but people are different.
Year after year, amidst the wind and rain, the flowers fade gracefully.
