Teresa Teng's chorus lyrics

On the Water's Edge

Lyrics: Qiong Yao Composer: Lin Jiaqing

Sung by Teresa Teng

The green grass is lush, the white mist is misty,

There's a beautiful woman who lives on the water's edge.

The green grass is lush, the white mist is misty,

There is a beautiful woman, living by the water.

I would like to swim against the current,

and snuggle beside her.

But there is a dangerous beach ahead,

and the road is long and long.

I would go downstream,

and find my way to her.

But I see a vague resemblance,

she is in the center of the water.

I would swim against the current,

and whisper to her.

But there is a dangerous shoal ahead,

and the road is twisting and turning.

I would like to go downstream,

to find her footprints.

But I saw her standing in the water, as if she were still there.

Green grass, white mist,

there is a beautiful woman, in the water.
