雨后的长街 相同的地点
The long street after the rain, the same old place
玻璃窗面前 重叠我今天的脸
In front of the glass window, my face from today reflected
你不给诺言 也不说抱歉
You give no promises, nor do you say you're sorry
预知的风险 我却陷在那里面
Knowing the risks, yet I'm still trapped within
那一天 扣著指尖 不问什么 我就相信 我们会永远
On that day, with fingers intertwined, I asked no questions, I just believed we'd last forever
那一年 没有宣言 但抱著你 我曾拥抱全世界
That year, no declarations, yet holding you, I felt like I embraced the whole world
哭过了笑过了的瞬间 爱只是暂借来的时间
Moments of crying and laughing, love was just borrowed time
坚持过谅解过却瓦解 混合著心酸 点点
Holding on to understanding, yet it crumbled, mixed with bittersweet feelings, a little here and there
还有 阳光的温暖 爱一个人的酸甜
And there's the warmth of the sunshine, the sweet and sour of loving someone
等待久了点 来不及实现
Waiting just a bit too long, running out of time to make it real
失守的从前 所有情节都改编
The past that was lost, every scene rewritten,
你慵懒的肩 我学会拒绝
Your lazy shoulders, I've learned to refuse,
当昨天的泪 蒸发成我的蓝天
When yesterday's tears evaporate into my blue sky,
那一天 扣著指尖 不问什么 我就相信 我们会永远
On that day, fingertips intertwined, without asking, I just believed we’d last forever.
那一年 没有宣言 但抱著你 我曾拥抱全世界
That year, no declarations made, but holding you, I embraced the whole world.
哭过了笑过了的瞬间 爱只是暂借来的时间
In moments of crying and laughing, love is just borrowed time.
坚持过谅解过却瓦解 混合著心酸 点点
Persisted through understanding, yet it crumbled, mixed with bittersweetness, bit by bit.
还有 阳光的温暖 爱一个人的酸甜
And still, the warmth of sunlight, the sweet and sour of loving someone.
哭过了笑过了的瞬间 爱只是暂借来的时间
In moments of crying and laughing, love is just borrowed time.
坚持过谅解过却瓦解 我们都不能幸免 各有各新的起点
Persisted through understanding, yet it crumbled, neither of us could escape, each starts anew.
哭过了笑过了的瞬间 爱只是暂借来的时间
In moments of tears and laughter, love is just borrowed time.
坚持过谅解过却瓦解 混合著心酸 点点
We've held on, we've understood, yet it falls apart, mixed with bittersweet echoes.
还有 阳光的温暖 爱一个人的酸甜
And there's the warmth of sunshine, the sweet and sour of loving someone.
