The River of No Return

Mm, if you listen,you can hear it call, “Wailerie”
There is a river called the river of no return
Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free
Love is a traveler, on the river of no return
Swept on forever to be lost in the stormy sea

Wailerie, I can hear the river call

No return, no return, no return, wailare
I can hear my lover call, come to me
I lost my love on the river
And forever my heart will yearn¹
Gone, gone forever down the river of no return
Wailerie, wailerie, he'll never return to me

(No return, no return, no return)

歌词大意：

如果你聆听，你会听见这条河在呼唤，Wailerie 有一条河叫不归河它有时安详平稳，有时狂野奔放在不归河上，爱就象一名游子永远顺着水流冲击而下，迷失在波涛汹涌的海上我听见河水呼唤着的声音，Wailerie 不回来，不回来…Wailerie 我听见我的情人在呼唤，回到我身边吧在河上，我失去了我的爱我的心永远思念他往事成空，大江东去 Wailerie，Wailerie，他将不再回到我身边.
