I also discovered a playlist of 20 songs by the same production crew for the solar terms (the 4 last ones are yet to turn up), but haven't had the chance to listen to them. Here.
Or to translate the exact same sentence, quoted three times in a row, differently each time. I am reminded of the time I asked it to translate a snippet with the name 宋岚 Song Lan repeated three times in a row. The sentence was probably even “宋岚，宋岚，宋岚。。。” ... which Google translated as "Song Yun, Song Chan, Song Hao..."
Also, the translation bothered me enough that I did a quick and dirty TL myself. If nothing else, it's at least differently wrong? One thought of you and I, and In vain I hate to part forever in dreams Burned to ash and buried the willow
Oh, the verdant branches Wilted out of lack of time for them It's the price of the answer for the riddle of the harvest
Twilight glistens above A distant traveler sets out and puts a hand on the heart in concern, oh, under the bridge
The previous incarnation was late to come (a brief encounter) Engraved in the hollow of the palm (the next life will remember) From your misted eyes falls a single drop of ink If Buddha said (be carefree) Relinquish your attachments (without each other we're colorless) How can I not be startled by the great waves and go along?
One thought of you and I, and I hate the short life, always a prisoner of the sea of bitterness The new disciple leaves, falling flowers reflected in the river Yearn uselessly, just laugh at the mountains' oath of old Say, how can I search?
Plant ten thousand lotus flowers They germinate at the heart of all living things Wait for the ten thousand answers of the world of mortals
Prayer beads fall into the sands of time Wait and give up performing mercy
