歌词
绿草苍苍 白雾茫茫
有位佳人 在水一方
我愿逆流而上 依偎在她身旁
无奈前有险滩 道路又远又长
我愿顺流而下 找寻她的方向
却见依稀仿佛 她在水的中央
绿草萋萋 白雾迷离
有位佳人 靠水而居
我愿逆流而上 与她轻言细语
无奈前有险滩 道路曲折无已
我愿顺流而下 找寻她的踪迹
却见仿佛依稀 她在水中伫立
Lyrics
Green, green the reed,
Dew and frost gleam.
Where’s she I need?
Beyond the stream.
White, white the reed,
Dew not yet dried.
Where’s she I need?
On the other side.
Upstream I go,
The way is long.
Downstream I go,
She’s there among.
