Autumn Lingers on the Fen River

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Drumbeats at the bow chase the sunset glow

White waves across the river lift a lively answer

Amid the loudest laughter, I turn my face away

I see a yellow leaf fall quietly

[Pre-Chorus]

How many vows have these mountains and rivers heard

Yet cannot keep anyone's youthful yesterdays

[Chorus]

Fen River，please flow a little slower

Let me look once more at autumn along the banks

Even the grandest reunion will come to an end

The deepest affection need not possess

Fen River，please flow a little slower

Give the tenderness of this journey a safe home

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]

The fragrance of sweet herbs still lingers on my fingertips

The one I long to see is now separated from me by different years

I have put my whole life into song

Yet there is still a greeting I do not know whom to sing to

[Pre-Chorus]

How many vows have these mountains and rivers heard

Yet cannot keep anyone's youthful yesterdays

[Chorus]

Fen River，please flow a little slower

Let me look once more at autumn along the banks

Even the grandest reunion will come to an end

The deepest affection need not possess

Fen River，please flow a little slower

Give the tenderness of this journey a safe home

[Bridge]

If time never turns back for anyone

Then cherish those still beside you now

When the bugle calls slowly recede into the distant sky

Let a word of everyday life reach dusk in my place

[Final Chorus]

Fen River，please flow a little slower

Let me look once more at autumn along the banks

Even the grandest reunion will come to an end

The deepest affection need not possess

Fen River，please flow a little slower

Give the tenderness of this journey a safe home

[Outro]

The oar gently crumples the reflections

I leave what I have not finished saying to the flowing water
