一水隔天涯

原唱 韋秀嫻 1966 

作曲 于磷 填词 左凡 

 Mui oi gor ching chong. Gor oi mui fung ji 

妹愛哥情重 哥愛妹風姿 

I like your deep affection. You like my grace. 

 wei liu sum tao yuen, lin lei gek sheun ji 

爲了心頭願 連理結雙枝 

For the wish in the hearts, a couple very much in love should be married.

 ji si yat shui ga tin ai, but ji sheun weu chei hor si 

只是一水隔天涯 不知相會在何時 

Regretfully there is an ocean apart. Don't know when to meet again. 

 guan luan gkin wui moun, xing kok moun yi hey 

綣戀驚回夢 醒覺夢依稀 

Startled while I dreamed of tender love. While awake the dream is still vague. 

 doo yu chi ching hua, liu yi gai sheu si 

獨語癡情話 聊以寄相思 

I speak passionate words alone, to deliver my lovesickness. 

 ji wei yat shui ga tin ai, but ji sheun weu chei hor si 

只爲一水隔天涯 不知相會在何時 

Regretfully there is an ocean apart. Don't know when to meet again. 

 siu bie sheun fung dor won mei, cheun bie mo kay na bu bay 

小別相逢多韻味 長別無期那不悲 

Getting together after a short absence makes the hearts grow fonder. How can it not be sad with an indefinitely long break? 

wang yat fuan siu nan mong gay, nei but kui leun ghor but yi 

往日歡笑難忘記 你不歸來我不依 

Difficult to forget the past laughter. If you don't come back, I will not be pleased.

 yu gai kui leun yat, gor kue mei chi kui 

預計歸來日 哥卻末知歸 

Upon the expected return date, you however don't know when to return. 

 kou yur yin won cit, lo yin kok fung fei 

舊約煙雲逝 勞燕各分飛 

The previous agreement now disappears like mist. Tired birds fly in different directions. 

 ji hun yat shui ga tin ai, but ji sheun weu chei hor si 

只恨一水隔天涯 不知相會在何時 

Regretfully there is an ocean apart. Don't know when to meet again. 

 but ji sheun weu chei hor si 

不知相會在何時 

Don't know when to meet again.
