夜来香 [Yè lái xiāng] [English translation]

The southern wind blowing is so cool and refreshing

The nightingale howls and sings

Under the moonlight all the flowers fall asleep

There is only the Chinese violet 1

Revealing its sweet fragrance

I love the expanse of this dim night scene

As well as the nightingale singing its song

But I love the ordinary flowers' dreams even more 2

Embracing the Chinese violet

Kissing the Chinese violet

Chinese violet

I sing this song for you

Chinese violet

You are always on my mind

Ahh...

I sing this song for you

You are always on my mind

I love the expanse of this dim night scene

As well as the nightingale singing its song

But I love the ordinary flowers' dreams 2

Kissing the Chinese
