何必
Why Bother

羅寗作曲、作詞、編曲、演唱
Composition, lyrics, arrangement, and singing by Michelle Ning Lo

山峰後紅日歸隱
亭臺下魚龍悲鳴
松林中醉翁暢飲
都在敷衍著逃避

飄似白雪的柳絮
花中隱者的黃菊
芬芳滿枝的茉莉
怎麼美得生悲情

一失足成千古印
深深烙印入我心
他撥弄無弦的琴
我　聆聽弦外之音

若能日日觀月明
何必費心撈月影
何必　瞞騙著后羿
若是嬋娟共千里
何必遵照三人行
何必　唱江東悲曲
我　何必

The red sun retreats behind the mountains
The whales’ sad song echoes under the pavilion
The drunkard downs his wine in the depths of the pine forest
They are all searching for ways to escape

The leaves of the weeping willow dance like snow
The yellow chrysanthemum flower cherishes its loneliness
The jasmine flowers decorate the branches
They are all beautiful, yet depressing

One mistake scars forever
Burning a mark onto my heart
Her fingers stroke a string-less lute
I listen to its silent tune

If it’s possible to gaze at the moon every day
Why bother capturing its reflection in the water?
Why bother hiding the truth from Yi?
If it’s possible to be with someone for ever and ever
Why bother searching for a better person?
Why bother lamenting what’s past?
Why do I bother?
