中文原文﹕
多情卻似總無情，
唯覺尊前笑不成。
蠟燭有心還惜別，
替人垂淚到天明。
英文翻譯 / English Translation﹕
However wholehearted I am, my heart would seem cold come parting time,
Fronted with a farewell drink I cannot even put on a smile.
Candles seem to sympathise with my reluctance to leave,
Whose wax drips my tears for me till dawn arrives.
