Lyrics: James J.S. Wang
Composer: He Chen Gang.
Lead singer: Nicky Wu and Yang Caini.
Go to the front silently and share a glass of water with you.
There is deep meaning in the Qing dynasty, and it is drunk from the bottom of my heart.
No matter career or fate, don't talk about butterfly dreams.
Give you back this life and the past.
Both of them have passed away through the ages.
Butterfly lovers is the theme song of the film butterfly lovers directed by Tsui Hark 1994 and starring Nicky Wu and Yang Caini. Nicky Wu personally played, as well as the chorus version of Nicky Wu and Yang Caini (the chorus version is included in Yang Caini's solo album "Forget Me").
