“Autumn Cicadas” – Lyrics by Li Ziheng, Music by Li Ziheng. Listen as I call the spring waters cold; watch as I turn the green leaves yellow. Who says that autumn brings only sorrow? The misty waters and forests are so serene. Flowers fall, red flowers fall… The maples turn red; the geese spread their wings and fly. I wear thin clothes through the harsh winter. It’s still autumn, after all. Spring has gone, summer is gone too. Autumn deepens, then winter arrives, and the beautiful scenery disappears. Don’t let good spring pass away in haste. Don’t let good spring pass away in haste. Listen as I call the spring waters cold; watch as I turn the green leaves yellow. Who says that autumn brings only sorrow? The misty waters and forests are so serene. Flowers fall, red flowers fall… The maples turn red; the geese spread their wings and fly. I wear thin clothes through the harsh winter. It’s still autumn, after all. Spring has gone, summer is gone too. Autumn deepens, then winter arrives, and the beautiful scenery disappears. Don’t let good spring pass away in haste. Don’t let good spring pass away in haste
