When those red berries come in spring, they flush on your southern branches.
People who want to miss them collect more, and Mix red beans have attracted people's attention.
Red beans are produced in the south. They are strong, bright red and round, as crystal clear as coral. Southerners often use them as decorations. Legend has it that there was a woman in ancient times, because her husband died by the side and cried under the tree and turned into red beans, so people called her "Xiangsisi". It is often used to describe lovesickness in Tang poetry.
Well, look at Faye Wong's Red Bean written by Lin:
I haven't felt the climate of snowflakes in full bloom yet.
When we tremble together, we will know more about gentleness.
I didn't walk hand in hand with you through the deserted sand dunes.
Maybe learn to cherish eternity from now on.
Sometimes, sometimes I believe that everything has an end.
Sometimes nothing lasts forever, and we get together and leave.
But sometimes I prefer to stay and not let go.
When the scenery is clear, maybe you will accompany me to see the flowing water.
I didn't boil the red beans into a lingering wound for you.
Then sharing it together will make you understand the sadness of acacia more.
I haven't felt the tenderness of waking up.
Maybe by my side, you pursue the freedom of loneliness.
Sometimes, sometimes I believe that everything has an end.
Sometimes nothing lasts forever, and we get together and leave.
But sometimes I prefer to stay and not let go.
When the scenery is clear, maybe you will accompany me to see the flowing water.

This is my understanding after listening and reading:
These two people may have made a lot of agreements: maybe holding snow together, maybe trudging hand in hand, maybe sharing the same bed, maybe lingering forever. Both of them don't like loneliness, but one of them loves freedom more, so they broke up ~
Of course, what I learned after leaving is to cherish! Cherish what? Cherish the tenderness that makes you miss each other. But often acacia is bitter, lonely and sad, so sometimes, for example, in the dead of night, when your heart can't let go of eternity, you are tortured by acacia in the distance and your fate comes to an end ~
That is, as the saying goes, I can't let go ~
Nostalgia, singing, people are gone, and you are still immersed in the desire to remember. It turns out that what is truly immortal is your own red bean-like acacia ~
Sing about the future, maybe one day people will come back after vicissitudes. Did you still believe in eternity at that time?
This is my personal understanding. I think the melody is good. Faye Wong interprets the lyrics very well. It's really sad but Lin is really experienced ~
Also checked some information:
"Acacia" is not limited to the scope of love between men and women, but also includes friends. For example, Su Li's poem "It is difficult for pedestrians to stay for a long time, and each has its own words of lovesickness" is an example. The title of this poem is "A Gift from the River to Li Guinian", which shows that this poem expresses the feelings of caring for friends.
