and in chinese is already meaningless.

the square of Prague
The coloured glass painting is reflecting on the keyboard, decorating the
Goethe-styled church.
Who, who, who is playing on it, once, twice, wander around, sorrow
In the direction of the music, I hear a rose (the Chinese word of rose is
a very antique one) attached to a painting of the 18th century.
Standing aside, silently enjoying the music, thinking about your romance,
looking, no matter how long I look, it's still the same.
a a fu shou a a fu shou yap so so sorry so so so
Moderato Andantino Portmento Fortissimo
The thief steals it, the priest says "No". After I wake up, nothing has
been left.
When it's dawn, I'm just standing at the square of Praque. In the pool of
wishes, I wished a wish.
The crowd of doves, the setting sun at their back, the picture is too beautiful
I don't dare to look.
The empty passage of the square of Prague, I'm dancing on it alone, turn
on my own axis.
Not far away, your melody is enchanting, without me you are really unsure
At the square of Prague.
a a fu shou a a fu shou yap so so sorry so so so
Moderato Andantino Portmento Fortissimo
In the pool of wishes, I wished a wish.
Standing aside, silently enjoying the music, thinking about your romance,
looking, no matter how long I look, it's still the same.
a a fu shou a a fu shou yap so so sorry so so so
Moderato Andantino Portmento Fortissimo
The crowded theatre on the square of Prague.
Moderato Andantino Portmento Fortissimo
one silent alley, one cafe
The thief steals it, the priest says "No". After I wake up, nothing has
been left.
I'm paying the bills, you are cooking soups
Standing aside, silently enjoying the music, thinking about your romance,
looking, no matter
That's the end of the story.
a a fu shou a a fu shou yap so so sorry so so so |
So, I did my best in translating this song. Well, the sentence structure is very illogical so I just translated his sentences, but I don't know what he thought while saying these sentences.
