I think I was searching for treasures or stones

予所求兮，

in the clearest of pools

于清潦兮，

when your face…

灿若琼瑶，

君之颜兮。

when your face,

like the moon in a well

君之颜兮，

where I might wish…

若明月兮。

井中之月，

might well wish

乱我心兮。

for the iced fire of your kiss;

only on water my lips, where your face…

乱我心兮，

念君唇兮。

where your face was reflected, lovely,

如冰如火，

not really there when I turned

唯波痕兮。

to look behind at the emptying air…

唯波痕兮，

the emptying air.

君不在兮。

回望高天，

空且远兮，

远且空兮。
