戲一折 水袖起落
In a drama, costumes fluttering

唱悲歡唱離合 無關我
The joys and sorrows in the drama have nothing to do with me

扇開合 鑼鼓響又默
The fan opens and closes, the drum rang and stopped

戲中情戲外人 憑誰說
Who is going to comment the feelings in the drama and the audience outside the drama?

慣將喜怒哀樂都融入粉墨
I am used to hiding my emotions under the powder

陳詞唱穿又如何
The old lines sang countless times, but what about it?

白骨青灰皆我
Even if I die, my body is defeated, but that is me

亂世浮萍忍看烽火燃山河
In this troubled world, humble, I have to bear to watch the motherland is aggressed.

位卑未敢忘憂國
Although I am insignificant, I still can’t easily forget the misfortune of my motherland.

哪怕無人知我
Even if no one knows me.

台下人走過 不見舊顏色
People come and go under the stage, but can't see the familiar faces.

臺上人唱著 心碎離別歌
The people on the stage sang heartbreaking songs for the farewell.

情字難落墨
Patriotic feelings are difficult to write with paper and pen
她唱須以血來和
She can only swear by bloody lyrics

戲幕起 戲幕落 誰是客
The drama begins and ends, but who is the guest

啊
Ah

戲一折 水袖起落
In a drama，Drama costumes fluttering

唱悲歡唱離合 無關我
The joys and sorrows in the drama have nothing to do with me

扇開合 鑼鼓響又默
The fan opens and closes, the drum rang and stopped

戲中情戲外人 憑誰說
Who is going to comment the feelings in the drama and the audience outside the drama?

戲幕起 戲幕落 誰是客
The drama begins and ends, but who is the guest

你方唱罷我登場
You ended the show and I went on

莫嘲風月戲 莫笑人荒唐
Don't laugh at the drama is careless about the world and people’s numb

也曾問青黃
They also care about the world

也曾鏗鏘唱興亡
They also sang for the rise and fall of the country

道無情 道有情 怎思量
How to consider this world is ruthless or affectionate？

道無情 道有情 費思量
It’s too confusing to consider whether this world is ruthless or affectionate
