Learn to sing JJ Lin’s ‘River South’ with bilingual lyrics

When it reaches here, the wind becomes sticky

风到这里就是粘（fēng dào zhè lǐ jiù shì nián）

Clinging to the nostalgia of travelers

粘住过客的思念（nián zhù guò kè de sī niàn ）

When it reaches here, the rain winds around to become a thread

雨到了这里缠成线（yǔ dào le zhè lǐ chán chéng xiàn ）

Winding around to connect us in this world

缠着我们流连人世间（chán zhe wǒ men liú lián rén shì jiān ）

You by my side is affinity

你在身边就是缘（nǐ zài shēn biān jiù shì yuán ）

Affinity written on a lucky stone

缘份写在三生石上面（yuán fèn xiě zài sān shēng shí shàng miàn ）

One ten thousandth of love is sweet

爱有万分之一甜（ài yǒu wàn fēn zhī yī tián ）

I would rather be buried right here

宁愿我就葬在这一天（níng yuàn wǒ jiù zàng zài zhè yī tiān）

Circles, circles, circles

圈圈圆圆圈圈（quān quān yuán yuán quān quān ）

Daily, yearly, daily

天天年年天天的我（tiān tiān nián nián tiān tiān de wǒ ）

I look at your face profoundly

深深看你的脸（shēn shēn kàn nǐ de liǎn ）

A face with the tenderness of anger

生气的温柔（shēng qì de wēn róu）

The tenderness of complaint

埋怨的温柔的脸（mán yuàn de wēn róu de liǎn ）

We didn't understand the torment of love and hate, worry and suffering

不懂爱恨情愁煎熬的我们（bù dǒng ài hèn qíng chóu jiān áo de wǒ men）

We thought being in love was like the gentle wind and rain

都以为相爱就像风云的善变（dōu yǐ wéi xiāng ài jiù xiàng fēng yún de shàn biàn）

Believing that love, one day, could hold up against eternity

相信爱一天抵过永远（xiāng xìn ài yī tiān dǐ guò yǒng yuǎn ）

Freezing this moment in time

在这一刹那冻结了时间（zài zhè yī shā nà dòng jié le shí jiān）

We didn’t understand how to show tenderness

不懂怎么表现温柔的我们（bù dǒng zěn me biǎo xiàn wēn róu de wǒ men ）

We thought that dying for love was an archaic rumor

还以为殉情只是古老的传言（hái yǐ wéi xùn qíng zhǐ shì gǔ lǎo de chuán yán ）

How painful is it to part from worries?

离愁能有多痛（lí chóu néng yǒu duō tòng ）

How thick are those pains?

痛有多浓（tòng yǒu duō nóng ）

When dreams are buried in the smoky rain of the river south

当梦被埋在江南烟雨中（dāng mèng bèi mái zài jiāng nán yān yǔ zhōng ）

Only then will the heartbroken understand

心碎了才懂（xīn suì le cái dǒng ）
