窗外雨都停了 屋里灯还黑着
The rain outside has stopped, but the lights inside are still dark.
数着你的冷漠 把玩着寂寞
Counting your indifference, playing with loneliness.
电话还没拨已经口渴
The call hasn't been made, but I'm already thirsty.
为你熬的夜都冷了 数的羊都跑了
The nights I've stayed up for you have turned cold, and the sheep I've counted have all run away.
一个两个 嘲笑我
One or two, they laugh at me.
笑我耳朵失灵的
They laugh at my ears not hearing.
笑我放你走了走了走了 走了
They laugh at how I let you go, let you go, let you go, let you go.
路人穿街过河 好景只有片刻
Passersby cross the streets and rivers; good times last only a moment.
森林都会凋落 风吹走云朵
Even the forest withers away, the wind blows the clouds away.
你留给我的迷离扑朔
The confusion you left me is elusive and mysterious.
岁月风干我的执着 我还是把回忆紧握
Time has dried up my persistence, yet I still hold on to memories tightly.
太多都散落
So much has scattered.
散落太多好难过
It hurts so much that it has scattered too widely.
难过时你走了走了走了 走了
When I was sad, you walked away, walked away, walked away.
过了很久终于我愿抬头看
After a long time, I finally feel ready to look up.
你就在对岸走得好慢
You walk so slowly on the opposite shore.
任由我独自在 假寐与现实之间两难
I let myself linger in the struggle between pretending to sleep and reality.
过了很久终于我愿抬头看
After a long time, I finally feel ready to look up.
你就在对岸等我勇敢
You wait for me bravely on the opposite shore.
你还是我的我的我的 你看
You are still mine, mine, mine—look.
浪漫无处消磨 无聊伴着生活
Romance has nowhere to waste, boredom accompanies life
空荡荡的自我 莫名地焦灼
An empty self, inexplicably anxious
世界孤立我 任它奚落
The world isolates me, I let it mock
我只保持我的沉默
I just hold onto my silence
明白什么才是好的坯的 都散了
Understanding what's good and what's bad, all has scattered
散了太多无关的
Too many irrelevant things have drifted away
散了后我醒了醒了醒了 醒了
After the scattering, I've awakened, awakened, awakened, awakened
过了很久终于我愿抬头看
After a long time, finally I'm willing to look up
你就在对岸走得好慢
You walk so slowly across the riverbank
任由我独自在 假寐与现实之间两难
Letting me be alone in the struggle between pretense and reality
过了很久终于我愿抬头看
After a long time, I'm finally willing to look up
你就在对岸等我勇敢
You're just across the shore waiting for me to be brave
你还是我的我的我的 你看
You are still mine, mine, mine, just look
过了很久终于我愿抬头看
After a long time, I'm finally willing to look up
你就在对岸走得好慢
You're just across the shore walking so slowly
任由我独自在 假寐与现实之间两难
Allowing me to linger alone, caught between dreams and reality's dilemma
过了很久终于我愿抬头看
After a long time, I'm finally willing to look up
你就在对岸等我勇敢
You're just across the shore waiting for me to be brave
你还是我的我的我的 你看
You are still mine, mine, mine, just look
浪漫无处消磨 无聊伴着生活
Romance has nowhere to wear away, boredom accompanies life
空荡荡的自我 莫名地焦灼
An empty self, strangely anxious,
世界孤立我 任它奚落
The world isolates me, letting it mock.
我只保持我的沉默
I only keep my silence.
明白什么才是好的坯的 都散了
Understanding what is good and what is bad, they all scattered.
散了太多无关的
Too many unrelated things have dispersed.
散了后我醒了醒了醒了 醒了
After they scattered, I woke up, woke up, woke up, woke up.
