你是个天生俊生 He is born a good looking man
曾占风流性 elegant and romantic
看他无情有情 I felt he do have affection on me
只见他笑脸儿来相问 and salute to me with a big smile
我也心里聪明 But just now I Played tricks with him
（适才呵）把脸儿假狠 pretending to look displeased
口儿里装做硬 and cold-shoulder him
我待要应承 I had the thought to respond to him
这羞惭怎应他那一声 but how bashful to do that
我见了他假惺惺 I was insincerely courteous at his presence
别了他常挂心 While I'm missing him so much at his absence
看这些花荫月影 The flower shadows in the moonlight
凄凄冷冷 are wretched in desolation
照他孤另 envelops him alone
照奴孤另 and me alone too
