何必

Why Bother

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?
