[Peggy Lee - Chinese Love Poems: Going Rowing / Like the Moon / The Music lyrics]
In order to go rowing in our boat
We have waited for the setting of the sun
A slight breeze ripples the blue
Surface and stirs the waterlilies
Along the banks, where the cherry
Blossoms fall like rain
We catch a glimpse of strolling lovers
My courteous friends prepare cooling drinks
The beautiful young girls breathe the
Perfume of the white glycine
I watch a cloud sailing over us
Soon the rain
And I shall compose some vеrses
On the inconstancy of happiness
Likе the moon in the blue heavens
I am alone in my room
I have put out the light and I am weeping
I weep because you are so far away
And because you will never know
How much I love you the musicians have gone
The lilacs, which they placed in
The vases of jade, bend toward the loots and
Seem to listen still
We have waited for the setting of the sun
A slight breeze ripples the blue
Surface and stirs the waterlilies
Along the banks, where the cherry
Blossoms fall like rain
We catch a glimpse of strolling lovers
My courteous friends prepare cooling drinks
The beautiful young girls breathe the
Perfume of the white glycine
I watch a cloud sailing over us
Soon the rain
And I shall compose some vеrses
On the inconstancy of happiness
Likе the moon in the blue heavens
I am alone in my room
I have put out the light and I am weeping
I weep because you are so far away
And because you will never know
How much I love you the musicians have gone
The lilacs, which they placed in
The vases of jade, bend toward the loots and
Seem to listen still
