2002年的第一场雪 [2002 nián de dì yī chǎng xuě] [English translation]

The first snow of 2002

Came later than it did before

The public bus which stops at the Kunlun hotel 1

Carried away the last fallen autumn leaf

The first snow of 2002

Is the complex story from Wulumuqi that I cannot give up

You are like a fluttering butterfly

Fluttering about in the virgin snow like a flickering flame

I cannot forget the feeling of you in my arms

Warmer than the passion inside my heart

I forget the biting cold North wind outside the windows

As I bring forth familiar tender emotions

It is your red lips that I hold fast in my memory

It is your every care which makes me feel alive again

It is your ten thousand tender sentiments which melt the ice

It is your sweet speech and honeyed words which change the season
