Anh Biết Em Đi Chẳng Trở Về lyrics (English Translation)

(Verse 1)
I know you’re gone and won’t come back,
Thousands of miles of willows hidden in mist’s black.
Don’t look back at me anymore,
I know you’re gone and won’t return.

(Chorus)
Not because of you, not because of you,
Autumn flowers wither on the steps, their time through.
Love blooms in the morning, fades in the afternoon light,
Not because of you, not because of you.

(Verse 2)
By the old pine tree, I accidentally wrote,
Our love was tender, passionate, afloat.
Now I must erase the oath we swore,
By the old pine tree, I wrote once more.

(Instrumental Bridge)

(Verse 3)
How I miss the incense, cursed and old,
The lute that failed the love song’s fold.
Heaven’s silk holds no affection deep,
How I miss the incense’s cursed keep.

(Bridge)
The lake is dry, stars dim, mountains melt away,
How can such love hold so much sway?
Don’t be angry at love that fades with grace,
The pond is shallow, stars are dim, the mountain leaves no trace.

(Verse 4)
I know you’re gone and won’t return,
Thousands of miles of willows in mist adjourn.
Don’t look back at me ever again,
I know you’re gone and won’t return.

(Instrumental Bridge)

(Verse 5)
How I miss the incense, cursed and deep,
The old lute failed, love’s thread can’t keep.
Heaven’s silk holds no tender embrace,
How I miss the incense, in this space.

(Outro)
The pond is dry, stars blurred, mountains melt too,
How can that love hold so much, so true?
Don’t be angry at the love that’s fading now,
The pond is dry, stars blurred, the mountain takes its bow.
