'North of Longing' (Lyrics written for 'A Thousand Miles Away')

Bamboo leaves like jade,\ White clouds like flowers,\ I am as if intoxicated.\ The story retreats,\ The plot has withered,\ Your face is completely changed.\ Butterflies fall into deep sleep,\ Memories bring remorse again,\ Past grievances arise.\ The sky waits to be pure black,\ If you still do not return,\ With whom shall I fly in pairs?\ Heart covered in gray, the scene is defiled,\ Who has dirtied whom?\ Cowardice is the truest title,\ Shedding too much falsehood.\ I call you to return,\ To the north of longing,\ You choke back tears.\ Deep lake waters,\ Submerge the precious,\ Prosperity buried deeply in sorrow.\ I call you to return,\ To the north of despair,\ Are you pursuing?\ Time is without blame,\ Seasons accompany,\ Glass falls, still swinging.\ Autumn wind comes again,\ Overturns bitterness,\ Maple frost stains decay.\ You return late,\ Stunning as a rose,\ I laugh while shedding tears.\ Opening eyes to dispel hangover,\ Small village bathed in twilight,\ Ordinary winds scatter robes.\ Waiting is too weary,\ Green waves reflect the utmost beauty,\ By the Yaochi, in pairs.\ Heart covered in gray, the scene is defiled,\ Who has dirtied whom?\ Cowardice is the truest title,\ Shedding too much falsehood.\ I call you to return,\ To the north of longing,\ You choke back tears.\ Deep lake waters,\ Submerge the precious,\ Prosperity buried deeply in sorrow.\ I call you to return,\ To the north of despair,\ Are you pursuing?\ Time is without blame,\ Seasons accompany,\ Glass falls, still swinging…
