Tự Tâm [English Translation]
[Intro]
When can I blot out the memory of a person
Prostrate with yearning tears flowing
When will I be released from torment in love
Keep to a self-pitying me
[Pre-Chorus]
If love prevails
The hearts will find their way back
Shriveled up after many a moon
Endless wait in vain
[Chorus 1]
Put my heart and soul into loving you, to reap nothing but wounds
Trials and tribulations turn me grey
Put my heart and soul into loving you, to finally find myself forsaken
Here on my own in deep anguish
Tell myself to banish all feelings of love
But the heart wants what it wants
Not once have I been truly loved
Tell myself to banish all feelings of love
Still hoping against hope
A pipe dream in a mist of tears
[Breakdown]
Wait no more, their affections now meant for another
[Pre-Chorus]
If love prevails
The hearts will find their way back
Shriveled up after many a moon
Endless wait in vain
[Chorus 1]
Put my heart and soul into loving you, to reap nothing but wounds
Trials and tribulations turn me grey
Put my heart and soul into loving you, to finally find myself forsaken
Here on my own in deep anguish
Tell myself to banish all feelings of love
But the heart wants what it wants
Not once have I been truly loved
Tell myself to banish all feelings of love
Still hoping against hope
A pipe dream in a mist of tears
[Bridge]
Shattered into pieces
The wind has whisked away our promise
Boat gliding
Rounding up fragments of the waning moon
[Chorus 2]
Why does love come to be unfulfilled
Cannot withstand the test of time
Every meeting led to a parting
All that's left is regret
The hurt one remaining is none other than me
Tell myself to banish all feelings of love
But the heart wants what it wants
Not once have I been truly loved
Tell myself to banish all feelings of love
Still hoping against hope
A pipe dream in a mist of tears
When can I blot out the memory of a person
Prostrate with yearning tears flowing
When will I be released from torment in love
Keep to a self-pitying me
[Pre-Chorus]
If love prevails
The hearts will find their way back
Shriveled up after many a moon
Endless wait in vain
[Chorus 1]
Put my heart and soul into loving you, to reap nothing but wounds
Trials and tribulations turn me grey
Put my heart and soul into loving you, to finally find myself forsaken
Here on my own in deep anguish
Tell myself to banish all feelings of love
But the heart wants what it wants
Not once have I been truly loved
Tell myself to banish all feelings of love
Still hoping against hope
A pipe dream in a mist of tears
[Breakdown]
Wait no more, their affections now meant for another
