一朵云能载多少思念的寄托
A single cloud can carry how many longings and hopes
在忽然相遇街头
On a street where we suddenly meet
当我们擦身而过 那短短一秒钟
When we brushed past each other in that fleeting second
都明白 什么都变了
We both understand, everything has changed
一转身谁能把感慨抛在脑后
In a turn of a moment, who can cast aside their feelings?
在事过境迁以后
After the past has drifted away
这段情就算曾经 刻骨且铭心过
This love, though once felt deep and unforgettable
过去了 又改变什么
Has passed, but what has really changed?
地球它又 公转 几周了
The Earth has orbited round again and again
我不难过了 甚至真心希望你能幸福
I'm not sad anymore, in fact, I truly hope you find happiness
当我了解 你只活在 记忆里头
When I realized you only live in memories,
我不恨你了 甚至原谅你的残忍理由
I no longer hate you, even forgiving your cruel reasons.
当我了解不爱了连 回忆都是负荷
When I understood that not loving means even memories are a burden,
一转身谁能把感慨抛在脑后
With a turn of the body, who can cast aside their sighs?
在事过境迁以后
After the events have passed,
这段情就算曾经 刻骨且铭心过
This love, even if it once was deeply engraved,
过去了 又改变什么
Has faded away, what has changed?
浓情爱恋 都已陌生了 嗯～
All that deep love has grown unfamiliar, hmm~
我不难过了 甚至真心希望你能幸福
I'm not sad anymore, in fact, I truly wish you happiness.
当我了解 你只活在 记忆里头
When I realized you only live in memories,
我不恨你了 甚至原谅你的残忍理由
I don't hate you anymore, I even forgive your cruel reasons.
当我了解不爱了连 回忆都是负荷
When I understand that no longer loving means even memories weigh me down.
我不难过了 甚至真心希望你能幸福
I'm not sad anymore, I even sincerely wish you happiness.
当我了解 你只活在 记忆里头
When I realize you only exist in the depths of my memories.
我不恨你了 甚至感谢这样不期而遇
I don't hate you anymore, I even thank this unexpected encounter.
当我从你眼中发现 已是陌生人了
When I discover in your eyes, we have become strangers.
我已是 陌生人了 嗯～
I have become a stranger, hmm~
