How the Tide Rushes In

How the tide rushes in and covers footprints in the sand
海潮汹涌啊 带走沙滩上的脚印
As my hope’s erased and carried out of my hands
我的希望啊 也如流沙一去不回
How the tides ebb and flow as driftwood tossed upon the shore
潮起潮落啊 把浮木冲向上岸边
and my heart’s cast aside and lost evermore
永远失去啊 我的心被无情丢弃
Yet though the ocean with waves unending
海浪汹涌啊 好像永远没有尽头
Covers the earth yet, is there loss after all
笼罩大地啊 是谁家欢喜谁家愁
For what adrifts from one place is with the tide to another brought
潮汐变化啊 漫无目的漂泊不定
And there’s not lost beyond recall which cannot be found if sought
无法挽回的 是没有失去的东西
Yet though the ocean with waves unending
海浪汹涌啊 好像永远没有尽头
Covers the earth yet, is there loss after all
笼罩大地啊 是谁家欢喜谁家愁
For what adrifts from one place is with the tide to another brought
潮汐变化啊 漫无目的漂泊不定
And there’s not lost beyond recall which cannot be found if sought
无法挽回的 是没有失去的东西
