晴天 肆无忌惮的光线
On a sunny day, unrestrained light shines bright
差些要模糊的脸 笑的很清浅
A face almost blurred, yet smiling so lightly
转眼 说不出声的语言
In a flash, unspoken words take flight
由生到死的缠绵 藏进心里面
The entanglements from life to death hide deep inside
总是在 临走前拍了相片
Always taking photos right before we depart
就留下证据在无法毁灭
Leaving behind evidence that can't be torn apart
总是在忘记前变得明显
Always becoming clear just before we forget
就刻下回忆再无法退却
Carving memories that we can't regret
也许谁遇见 也许谁又不见
Perhaps someone meets, perhaps someone fades away
留下更多疑点惊慌后突然想念
Leaving more questions, in panic I long for the day
也许谁失约 也许谁失眠
Maybe someone broke their promise, maybe someone can't sleep
曾经都搁浅 忽然又鲜艳
Once, everything ran aground, suddenly vibrant again
晴天 肆无忌惮的光线
On a sunny day, the light shines unrestrained
差些要模糊的脸 笑的很清浅
Almost blurring faces, smiling so lightly
转眼 说不出声的语言
In the blink of an eye, unspoken words linger
由生到死的缠绵 藏进心里面
The entwining from life to death hides within the heart
也许谁遇见 也许谁又不见
Maybe someone met again, maybe someone is lost once more
留下更多疑点惊慌后突然想念
Leaving behind more questions, panic leads to sudden yearning
也许谁失约 也许谁失眠 曾经都搁浅
Maybe someone broke their promise, maybe someone can't sleep, once everything ran aground
忽然又出现 又晕眩
Suddenly reappearing, feeling dizzy again
黑白的 泛黄的 还是鲜艳
Black and white, faded or still vibrant,
也许谁改变 也许谁没变
Maybe someone has changed, maybe someone hasn't,
杂乱的滋味 走过了沉淀
A chaotic flavor has walked through the depths,
也许谁表演 也许谁看片
Maybe someone performed, maybe someone just watched,
剧中的情节 都津津有味
The scenes in the play are all deeply intriguing,
事过境迁 沧海桑田
Time has passed, the world has transformed,
贪得无厌 彩色相片
Greedy for more, a colorful photograph.
