妹 善 於 修女
You, Innocent Like a Nun

濛雨 中 送 妹，言語 已 無味，如 煙雨 霏霏，故 得 咱倆 配？ In the drizzling rain, I send my sister away; words have lost their taste. Like the misty rain, why are we still not together?

我 巧手 無聊，捋 妹 背 長髮。咱倆 茶館 坐，有緣 而 無份。 My playful fingers are idle, combing my sister’s long hair. We sit in the teahouse, fated yet unfulfilled.

妹 心靈 無愧，堂皇 十字架，而 我 懺悔 中，為何 仍 荒唐。 My sister’s pure soul, dignified like a cross; while I repent, how come I still lost?

濛雨 中 送妹，言語 已 無味。 濛雨 中 送妹，交歡 而 生疏… In the drizzling rain, I send my sister away; words have lost their taste. In the drizzling rain, we are together but grow distant…

妹 修女 善良，我 四季 病重，我 顆心 裂痕，我 妹 啊，阿妹! My virtuous sister, I’m wounded through all seasons; my heart is gravely ill. Oh, my sister!

我 要 妹 祈禱，祈禱 我 無神， 挽救 妳 儍瓜，我 妹 啊，阿妹! I ask my sister to pray, to forgive my godless soul, come save me, your foolish love!

濛雨 中 送 妹，像 舊車 溜陡。濛雨 中 送 妹，塵泥 噴 妳 髮。 In the drizzling rain, like an old car gliding down a steep slope. Walking you in the drizzling rain, mud splashes on your hair.

濛雨 中 送 妹，我的 小妹 啊，情緣 已 過去，遐心 必 有否？ In the drizzling rain, my little sister, has our destined bond faded? Will our hearts ever reunite?

妹 肩膀 淋雨，淚雨 乾 又 濕， 如 幽情 離去，雨淋 修女 心。 Your shoulders drenched in rain, tears drying and wetting again. As rain soaks through the heart of a nun, our deep emotion drifts away.

啦，啦，啦，啦… La, la, la, la…
啦，啦，啦，啦… La, la, la, la…
