Chinese text

青鳥，你在那裏？你在那裏？
找尋你已無蹤跡，已無蹤跡。
走盡了遍山遍野。
猶聞呻吟嘆息。

青鳥，你在那裏，你在那裏？
找尋你已無蹤跡，已無蹤跡。
仰望那日月星辰，
但見烽火連天地。

青鳥，你在那裏？

塵世多災，苦難危急。
憐我眾生喜樂悲愁靈無寄，靈無寄。
憐我眾生喜樂悲愁靈無寄，靈無寄。

青鳥，你在那裏？你在那裏？
找尋你已無蹤跡，已無蹤跡。
果然你曾降臨，
何苦今相離棄。

青鳥，你在那裏？

English text

Blue Bird where are you? where are you?
I sought you, but found no trace, but found no trace.
To the ends of the earth I walked
but still heard the groans and the pain.

Blue Bird, where are you, where are you?
I sought you, but found no trace, but found no trace.
I looked up at the sun, moon and stars,
But still saw flames 'twixt heav'n and earth.

Blue Bird, where are you?

Troubles destroy, suff'ring is rife.
Pity the sorrower, happy ones, my empty soul, my empty soul.
Pity the sorrower, happy ones, my empty soul, my empty soul.

Blue Bird, where are you? where are you?
I sought you, but found no trace, but found no trace.
You have been surely,
Then why forsake us today?

Blue Bird where are you?
(Paraphrase)
