The bell of the past tolled just before night,
往昔的钟声就在夜色来临之前敲响,
wǎng  xī  de  zhōng  shēng  jiù  zài  yè  sè  lái  lín  zhī  qián  qiāo  xiǎng,

How sad the sound is,
声音多么凄凉,
shēng  yīn  duō  me  qī  liáng ,
 
Whose heart let moonlight illuminate nowhere to hide,
谁的心让月色照亮无处躲藏, 
shuí  de  xīn  ràng  yuè  sè  zhào  liàng  wú  chù  duǒ  cáng,
 
I thought faintly of his home,
依稀想起他的家,
 yī  xī  xiǎng  qǐ  tā  de  jiā ,

Water in the Yellow River water in the Yangtze River,
黄河里的水 长江里的水,
huáng  hé  li  de  shuǐ , cháng  jiāng  li  de  shuǐ , 
 
Together at last,
最后在一起,  
zuì  hòu  zài  yī  qǐ ,
 
And you away and me here,
而远走的你和这里的我,
ér  yuǎn  zǒu  de  nǐ  hé  zhè  lǐ  de  wǒ,
  
Wait until the rivers and rivers slowly ,drain together
等到河水江水慢慢流干 在一起,
děng  dào  hé  shuǐ  jiāng  shuǐ  màn  mān  liú  gàn  zài  yī  qǐ ,
 
Half the moon is where the missing begins,
半个月亮就在思念开始的地方, 
bàn  gè  yuè  liang  jiù  zài  sī  niàn  kāi  shǐ  de  dì  fāng,

The shadow is so long,
影子那么长, 
yǐng  zi  nà  me  chang,

Whose heart let moonlight illuminate nowhere to hide.
谁的心让月色照亮无处躲藏。
shuí  de  xīn  ràng  yuè  sè  zhào  liàng  wú  chù  duǒ  cáng。
