Journey of Love

When a gust of wind blows me like a floating cloud, being lonely, I have no choice but to go travel, carrying my beloved guitar and a yellow aster.

I want to go far far away to an unknown place. I want to walk for a long long distance to retrieve my dream of the past.

I pretend I don’t love you any more so that I can go travelling, carrying a sincere heart and a red rose.





Hi,



The above is a Chinese song popular dozens of years ago. I love it very much, and I tried to translate it into English in the above. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

Well, I don't know the Chinese, of course, so I can't check the translation, and I presume that you do not wish to retain the meter (since your English version has none), but I can fix the grammar/vocabulary choice: When a gust of wind blows me like a floating cloud , lonely, I have no choice but to travel, carrying my beloved guitar and a yellow aster. I want to go far , far away to an unknown place. I want to walk for a long, long distance to retrieve my dream from the past.
