lyrics

青春 隨風散去 珠淚當作是胭脂
紅顏 笑阮薄命格 假愛當作是真情
Dream faded away, like dust in the wind
Tears roll down, lingering on her hands
A beauty with a miserable fate
shall know betrayal will appear again

可笑 錯將僥倖當癡情
Shall know misfortune will never end!

聽風的聲哮袂離
離枝花蕊無人疼痛
哮阮孤單 醉夢夢醒無一暗
隨梳妝抹粉笑迎人
Like a delicate flower shivering in the dark,
the passing wind tears her heart apart
Like a delicate flower blossoming in the dark,
she buries all the sadness under her makeup

飄落在繁華 白蓮亦不值
煙花哪堪露水寒
Withered flowers, falling petals,
together they whisper an elegy for her pure soul

（新聞廣播）
日前大稻埕藝旦間傳出自殺事件，知名藝旦吊脰自殺，過身前留下一首詩，詩中「天涯地角無知音」一句，使人動容。
詩界紛紛寫詩悼念佳人，其中「從容就死儼如歸，早覺煙花夢已非」道出對伊人的感念及呵咾。
(Radio broadcasting)
Today, a famous geisha was found to hang herself at her residence. She left a letter to disclose the real life of geisha. The misery and grief were far beyond people’s imagination. Some poets wrote memorial essays for the unfortunate young lady, and ……

穿好阮紅衫 抹面梳頭鬃
白綾一尺 過樑 走阮 眠夢
飄落在繁華 白蓮亦不值
煙花哪堪露水寒
Dressed in red, with beautifully combed hair,
she ceased all the sufferings without being hesitant
Withered flowers, falling petals,
together they whisper an elegy for her pure soul

聽風的聲哮袂離
離枝花蕊無人疼痛
哮阮孤單 醉夢夢醒無一暗
隨梳妝抹粉笑迎人
Like a delicate flower shivering in the dark,
the passing wind tears her heart apart
Like a delicate flower blossoming in the dark,
she buries all the sadness under her makeup

身在煙花萬般不由人
找無真情真意通寄望
花落蓮萎落土隨人
看破 薄命 一逝
White petals drift down in silence,
settling on her pretty body in red dress
A miserable life that perished tonight
becomes a beautiful memory in people’s mind
