假如我是一朵雪花，
翩翩的在半空裏瀟灑，
我一定認清我的方向——
飛颺，飛颺，飛颺，——
這地面上有我的方向。

不去那冷寞的幽谷，
不去那淒清的山麓，
也不上荒街去惆悵——
飛颺，飛颺，飛颺，——
你看，我有我的方向！

在半空裏娟娟的飛舞，
認明了那清幽的住處，
等着她來花園裏探望——
飛颺，飛颺，飛颺，——
啊，她身上有硃砂梅的清香！

那時我憑藉我的身輕，
盈盈的，沾住了她的衣襟，
貼近她柔波似的心胸——
消溶，消溶，消溶——
溶入了她柔波似的心胸！

English translation by Claude (an AI)

If I were a snowflake
drifting freely in mid-air,
I would know my direction:
flying, flying, flying,
here on this earth is my direction.

Not to the cold, lonely valley,
not to the bleak foot of the hills,
nor down the empty street to brood:
flying, flying, flying,
you see, I have my direction.

Dancing gracefully in mid-air,
I would find that quiet, clear dwelling
and wait for her to come into the garden:
flying, flying, flying,
ah, the scent of red plum blossom about her.

Then, light as I am,
I would softly settle on the folds of her dress,
close to her heart, gentle as a wave:
melting, melting, melting,
melting into her heart, gentle as a wave.
