Who Knows How Many Blossoms Have Fallen

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

In spring, the bedclothes are so hard to leave

I sleep on, until the sun climbs above the treetops

It was the birds that woke me

Not an alarm clock, not my worries

One call, then another

Near and far high and low, just the right clamor

[Pre-Chorus]

Dreams have pressed the pillow askew

Even in the dream, wind and rain seemed to toss and sway

[Chorus]

春眠不觉晓，处处闻啼鸟 — Sleeping in spring, I miss the dawn, birdsong sounds everywhere

夜来风雨声，花落知多少 — Last night came the sound of wind and rain，who knows how many blossoms fell

A bird on a branch, calling again and again

Outside the quilt, peeking this way and that

I remember last night, how the wind and rain raged

I ache for the flowers, yet am too lazy to rise and look

[Verse 2]

Half asleep in the middle of the night

Wind and rain, racing across the roof

I turn over and go back to sleep

I think, let them make noise, sleep matters most

And just like that, I fell asleep

I have no idea when the wind stopped

[Pre-Chorus]

Now it is broad daylight

The birds are still singing, I linger in bed, unwilling to rise early

[Chorus]

春眠不觉晓，处处闻啼鸟 — Sleeping in spring, I miss the dawn, birdsong sounds everywhere

夜来风雨声，花落知多少 — Last night came the sound of wind and rain，who knows how many blossoms fell

A bird on a branch, calling again and again

Outside the quilt, peeking this way and that

I remember last night, how the wind and rain raged

I ache for the flowers, yet am too lazy to rise and look

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

I think of the flowers in the courtyard

After enduring the night, I wonder how badly they fared

That apricot tree in the corner by the wall

Those that bloomed most thickly, were the first to fade

My heart aches for a little while

Roll over, and sleep to my heart's content

[Bridge]

At last, I am willing to get out of bed

I open the door, the whole courtyard is hushed

Fallen blossoms carpet the ground

Too many have fallen to count, yet I cannot bear to sweep them away

But there are still so many new flower buds

New shoots emerge, not a moment late

Spring has left no debt unpaid

As some flowers fade, others keep budding

[Verse 4]

I bring over a little stool and sit down

To the sound of birdsong, I slowly chew my breakfast

The flowers that fell in the night

Melt into the soil，to nourish new seedlings

What spring has taught me

The old blossoms fall, the new ones are lovelier

[Final Chorus]

春眠不觉晓，处处闻啼鸟 — Sleeping in spring, I miss the dawn, birdsong sounds everywhere

夜来风雨声，花落知多少 — Last night came the sound of wind and rain，who knows how many blossoms fell

A bird on a branch, calling again and again

Outside the quilt, peeking this way and that

I remember last night, how the wind and rain raged

I ache for the flowers, yet am too lazy to rise and look

[Outro]

The birds are still calling

Waking from spring slumber, another new morning
