ntains kiss high Heaven And the waves clasp one another; No sister-flower would be forgiven If it disdained its brother; And the sunlight clasps the earth, And the moonbeams kiss the sea What are all these kissings worth If thou kiss not me?

泉入河流 河流入海 天堂吹来的风 总伴着甜甜的情意 世间万物皆成双成对 奉神旨意 一个魂灵必与 另一魂灵相融 为什么 我和你， 不能如此？

看！高山吻了天空 浪花耳鬓厮磨 花间女儿不重情义 招来世人埋怨 阳光将大地紧拥怀中 月光轻柔地吻着层层浪波 但——我爱的人啊， 若你不愿吻在我唇上， 那美妙的一切 又与我何干？
