English Title: Autumn Still Lives On
Traslated By: Gigi
Oh, Autumn! I heard that you have passed on
Oh, Autumn! Are you still alive, or have you passed away?
Are you still alive? Are you still alive? Or have you died?
Autumn, please speak, please speak, just a few words
That Autumn lives on forever across the rivers and mountains
Autumn’s lake, where the moon gazes at the water, still shines
Please don’t say, please don’t say that Autumn is dead!
No, Autumn lives on, you live on, forever and ever
Lost within Autumn’s garden, where golden leaves scatter about
Lost within Autumn’s forest, where the deers look on with grief
Autumn’s figure of the past still hasn’t faded, still hasn’t faded
How can words express, how can words express
This grief, this misery, of waiting, when will it end?
Oh, Autumn, I loved your figure during that memorable year
Even if Autumn departs, the moon will continue to wait for you
Please don’t say, please don’t say that Autumn is dead!
No, Autumn lives on to continue casting her shadow on this world.
Translator’s Notes: This song contains a pun that isn’t very obvious in the English traslation. The word “thu” means “autumn” and it is also a common first name for women. So the author is referring to the autumn season but also to this woman named Thu.
