A fine drizzle, thread by thread, drifts onto the willow branches
My heart cannot let go; I shed silent tears
Longing flows with the stream, whilst the evening breeze blows through the little tower
Fallen blossoms drift with the current; the past cannot be reclaimed
Drip, drip, drip, drip
The rain beats upon the banana leaves until dawn
Thread by thread, thread by thread,
The more I long for you, the harder it is to wake.
The wind is gentle, the rain is gentle,
To whom can I confide this deep affection?
I can only blame the depth of my love and the brevity of our fate; all that remains is a sigh.
The moonlight is cold and desolate; I cannot sleep through the long night.
I shall never see you again; all that remains is the hem of your old garment.
Drip, drip, drip, drip
