Cute Chinese Song: Life is but a dream

【DAYS樂團】
Title: 今生如夢 Life is but a dream
Performed by: 雪霏嵐嵐
The language is Cantonese.

Despite the mostly upbeat, relaxing tune and cute animation, this song tells the story of love torn apart by an untimely death. The story goes that a small time performer in a cozy littlerestaurant becomes the love interest of a young military general. In time they became the happiest couple in the world, but as fate would have it, the young general becomes a casualty of war, while the young lady struggles to overcome the loss...

This song is understandably composed, designed, written, animated, or performed by non-fulltime professionals, made downloadable for free. As for the lyrics, I have provided my terrible translation below.

Lyrics:
__________

Tonight, the room grows restless
Lonely sighs, a half moon longs to be full
A lifetime is but too short
Looking up, I have lost count of it all

Life's end, it's lamentable
Memorials, lost in dismal dreams
All I ever had is gone
Our fate was in vain

Never again, regrets are hard to go
And fate is hard to grasp
Scraping my days away
Leaving nothing to remember by
*Jong Jau's trail
Gone astray in my own dream land

Tipsy life, seeking affection
With whom have I shared my stories?
Years of uncertainty
I have yet to see the world as it is
Like dreams those days are always out of reach

Anxiously, I wait
Sighing again, at a worrisome world
This life is perhaps too short
Turning back, you are too far away

Meeting and parting, sorrow and comfort
Alone, gazing into this evening rain
Remembering that special someone
Waiting all my life for this

Never again, regrets are hard to go
And fate is hard to grasp
Scraping my days away
Leaving nothing to remember by
*Jong Jau's trail
Gone astray in my own dream land

Tipsylife, seeking affection
With whom have I shared my stories?
Years of uncertainty
I have yet to count the worldly affairs
Like dreams those days are always out of reach

Those were the days as we held hands and play at old places
But that joy will never be the same again today
Remembering the place we first met
The days we spent together, please let me remember them forever

For the rest of this life, I won't forget the day we met
