从皮包里抽出我们的照片
Taking our photo out from the bag
沙发要移到客厅的另一边
The sofa needs to be moved to the other side of the living room
晚饭后你可以多抽几口香烟
After dinner, you can indulge in a few more cigarettes
已经没什么人 会埋怨
There's hardly anyone left to complain
晴天阴天今天又是星期天
Sunny days, cloudy days, today is Sunday again
唯一的打算是醒得晚一些
The only plan is to wake up a bit later
反正我不知道怎样打发时间
Anyway, I don't know how to kill time
出门或不出门 没差别
Going out or staying in, it makes no difference
一个人 到底应该睡右边或左边
Alone, should I sleep on the right side or the left side
两个人 每一次争吵都值得纪念
Together, every argument is worth remembering
一个人 偶尔感到寂寞再所难免
Being alone, feeling lonely now and then is unavoidable.
你的气味 还留在枕头边
Your scent still lingers by the pillow's side.
一个人 我重新适应一切不方便
Being alone, I'm relearning how to navigate the inconveniences.
两个人 不一定就成全一个世界
Two people don’t necessarily make a whole world.
一个人 关灯看见记忆的横切面
Being alone, I turn off the lights and see the cross-section of memories.
没有光线 过去那些情节 更明显
Without light, the past scenes appear much clearer.
晴天阴天今天又是星期天
Sunny or cloudy, today it's Sunday once again.
唯一的打算是醒得晚一些
My only plan is to wake up a little later.
反正我不知道怎样打发时间
Regardless, I don’t know how to pass the time.
出门或不出门 没差别
Whether I go out or stay in, it makes no difference.
喔喔喔喔喔
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
一个人 到底应该睡右边或左边
When you're alone, should you sleep on the left or the right?
两个人 连一次争吵都值得纪念
With two, even a quarrel is worth remembering.
一个人 偶尔感到寂寞在所难免
Being alone, it's natural to sometimes feel lonely.
你的气味 还留在枕头边
Your scent still lingers by the pillow.
一个人 我重新适应一切不方便
Being alone, I readjust to all the inconveniences.
两个人 不一定就成全一个世界
Two together doesn’t necessarily complete a whole world.
一个人 关灯看见记忆的横切面
When I'm alone, I switch off the lights and see memories unfold.
没有光线 过去那些情节 更明显 呜
Without the light, the past scenes become clearer, ooh.
更明显 呜
Even clearer, ooh.
