When will you come back?

"Gone back", says last time's song, and today, we ask when this will happen: 何日君再来 | Hérì jūn zài lái (What day will you come back?) is today's song. I met it sometime between Christmas 2012 and March 2013 [except not, I have a Youtube save of this, well actually two, from 12/9/12, in Firefox session 38, where 37 is from 10/9, and then a Google and a Youtube save from Session 52 8/10, 51 being from 7/10, then it reappears, with a YT save and a corrected Google translation save, on 10/3 in session 118, 117 being from 5/3], and translated it into English on Dec 2 2017 in the evening, with a small addition ("a few times") on Jan 8 2018 around 22. [An addition that was removed before this post, possibly because I didn't like it.]. While recording this translation, on 1/2/25, I made the following tweaks:
  • Please eat some starters -> Please have some starters (19:25);
  • After you leave tonight -> Once you leave tonight (19:36:[20,26]);
  • As I hug you tight -> As I hold you tight (19:42:13).
I may or may not eventually remake this translation.
While saving posts, l. 1 of this in a Hakka version sounded familiar [by which I presume I sang it as "Ho fa m siong khoi" or something like that], so I asked Anton Xie, and yep, he'd made a Hakka version and posted it on Hakka Verse on Jun 18 2016. I added it to this post the following day around 17:44. Though it did have 无 where I'd sung 毋. Actually, sometime before 19, I noticed a missing part in that version, the "speak again" one, and translated it myself. Oh, he just told me he scrapped the version and just made a new one. Well, I already put the rubies on, so I'll keep both and use tabs. Let's go!

好花不常开
好景不常在
愁堆解笑眉
泪洒相思带
今宵离别后
何日君再来

喝完了这杯
请进点小菜
人生难得几回醉
不欢更何待
(来来来
喝完了这杯
再说吧)
今宵离别后
何日君再来

停唱阳关叠
重擎白玉杯
慇勤频致语
牢牢抚君怀
今宵离别后
何日君再来

喝完了这杯
请进点小菜
人生难得几回醉
不欢更何待
哎
再喝一杯
干了吧
今宵离别后
何日君再来

Pretty flowers are rare,
Beautiful sceneries are rare,
Sorrows melt my smile
As I cry and pine.
Once you leave tonight,
When will you come back?

When you're done drinking,
Please have some starters.
In life it's rare to get drunk
Why are you still not happy?
(Come come come,
After drinking that glass,
Speak again.)
Once you leave tonight,
When will you come back?

Stop a-singing that song,
Lift your cup again,
Keep on speaking, please,
As I hold you tight.
Once you leave tonight,
When will you come back?

When you're done drinking,
Please have some starters.
In life it's rare to get drunk
Why are you still not happy?
(Ah!
Drink another glass!
Cheers to you!)
Once you leave tonight,
When will you come back?

靓美花无不恬总开
绝美景无不恬总在
愁趜担心换笑眉
目汁眼泪心焦相思来
今暗晚分开过
几时汝你正才来

食吃过里这一杯
喊定购成一些盘小菜
人生做得能够醉多轮次
毋不兴毋不做得能够
(来来来!
食吃了里这一杯
