蔡琴 – 被遗忘的时光 Forgotten time
Cai Qin (Tsai Chin) – Bei yi wang de shi guang

是谁在敲打我窗
shi shui zai qiao da wo chuang
Who is knocking on my window

是谁在撩动琴弦
shi shui zai liao dong qin xian
Who is strumming the strings

那一段被遗忘的时光
na yi duan bei yi wang de shi guang
That one period of forgotten time

渐渐地回升出我心坎
jian jian di hui sheng chu wo xin kan
Slowly rises up from my heart

是谁在敲打我窗
shi shui zai qiao da wo chuang
Who is knocking my window

是谁在撩动琴弦
shi shui zai liao dong qin xian
Who is strumming the strings

记忆中那欢乐的情景
ji yi zhong na huan le de qing jing
The joyful scenes of memories

慢慢的浮现在我的脑海
man man de fu xian zai wo de nao hai
Slowly flow up to the sea of my brain

那缓缓飘落的小雨
na huan huan piao luo de xiao yu
That lightly dripping little rains

不停的打在我窗
bu ting de da zai wo chuang
non-stoppingly hit on my window

只有那沈默不语的我
zhi you na shen mo bu yu de wo
Only that silent, non-talking myself

不时的回想过去
bu shi de hui xiang guo qu
can’t stop remembering the past

Translated by Shu
