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.
