Three Wishes 三愿 (San Yuan) English Lyrics Translation - Married Thrice to Salted Fish (MTSF) Audio Drama, Season 2 Theme Song

IT'S HERE. AND...I'm crying...actually crying lol (ever since I tried to translate it). The previous song was beautiful and carried the jolliness of our salted fish...but this song is dripping with the sorrow of our Qingyu. Read the lyrics and you'll see :'( I can't be more grateful that Bian Jiang studios picked up this masterpiece of a novel and made this master masterpiece of an audio drama (with only the best of CVs), and chose the right people to make the masterful master masterpieces of audio drama theme songs...might as well change the title of this series to Married Thrice to Salted G.O.A.T (greatest of all time) now?!?! In any case, sorry for rambling - I'll waste no time and drop the  Chinese/Pinyin/English lyrics under the cut!
