This is a poetic and introspective song about a solitary soul who has withdrawn from the world of love and human emotion. The narrator walks through blooming paths without looking back, choosing instead to drink moonlight and escape into dreams. When asked about love, they respond with silence, wine, and a detached smile. Rich in classical imagery—blossoms, rivers, wind, and shadow—the lyrics express a deep sense of emotional detachment, where love is seen as shallow, fate as broken, and life itself as nothing more than a dream. In the end, all that remains is the act of drinking the moon, over and over, trading every round for another illusion.

Lyrics:

桃花 铺滿路　我不曾回望

紅塵太玄　只適合遠賞

江月照我　獨影長

浮生若夢　不過一場空

你問我心動 否

我笑而不答舉杯對空

千里孤雲　不寄情真

你是人間煙火 花不落俗塵

而我　只飲月一輪又一輪

换来不过就是一场痛

北風萬里　不帶塵埃

一壺濁酒　笑紅顏哀

情字太淺　緣字太斷

山河可入畫　心門難解开

你問我可曾愛过

我只說　我醉在九霄云外

千里孤雲　不寄情真

你是人間煙火 花不落俗塵

而我　只飲月一輪又一輪

换来不过就是一场空

對影成三人　誰解我来意？

此生如夢　莫問來期

花開花落　緣起緣滅

我心無根　任風吹裂

千里孤雲　不寄情真

你是人間煙火 花不落俗塵

而我　只飲月一輪又一輪

换来不过就是一场梦

而我　只飲月

而我　只飲月一輪又一輪

换来不过就是一场空 一空看 別強問

呼呼呼

换来不过就是一场夢 一场空 一场夢

English Translation:

Peach blossoms cover the path, but I never looked back

The mortal world is too mysterious—meant to be admired from afar

The river moon shines on me, a lone figure casting a long shadow

Life is but a fleeting dream, an empty illusion

You ask if my heart was moved

I simply smile, raise my cup to the sky

A lone cloud drifting a thousand miles, carries no true love

You are the fireworks of the mortal world, untouched by dust and time

And I... I drink the moon, round after round

Only to trade it for yet another wound

The northern wind sweeps ten thousand miles, without a speck of dust

A pot of cloudy wine, laughing at beauty’s sorrow

The word “love” is too shallow, the word “fate” already broken

Mountains and rivers may enter a painting, but the heart remains locked

You ask if I’ve ever loved

I only say—I've been drunk beyond the clouds

A lone cloud drifting a thousand miles, carries no true love

You are the fireworks of the mortal world, untouched by dust and time

And I... I drink the moon, round after round

Only to trade it for yet another emptiness

Facing my reflection, we become three—

Who can understand my purpose for coming?

This life is but a dream—don’t ask about the future

Flowers bloom and fall, fate begins and ends

My heart is rootless, torn by the wind

A lone cloud drifting a thousand miles, carries no true love

You are the fireworks of the mortal world, untouched by dust and time

And I... I drink the moon, round after round

Only to trade it for yet another dream

And I... only drink the moon

And I... drink the moon, round after round

Only to trade it for another emptiness—see it clearly, don’t ask again

Hoo-hoo-hoo

Only to trade it for another dream—another emptiness, another dream
