Love is like a river

七堇年

Love is like a river

the longest of life.

Running deep and still in my solitude soul.

How many mountains and valleys should it pass by

To find a right place to stay and to fill?

Like the adventurers in a desert of despair

I'd wind up a thousand miles

Just to embrace the reflection of an unknown smile.

Ups and downs

twists and swirls

The stories of my river are anything but special.

Every kiss withered with ripples of joy and tides of sorrow.

Now it is running into you

my darling

May it hereafter

flow deep

still and slow.

Thus I'll perhaps sift out more lines of gold

Yet none of them could compare to you

My dear lonely boat.
