早午餐 越吃越昏沉
Brunch makes me more and more drowsy,
咖啡提不了神 留我满嘴的苦涩
Coffee can’t revive me, leaving me with a bitter mouthful.
低头等车厢再开门
Bowing my head, I wait for the train doors to open,
站著同几个人 曾经我们两个人
Standing here with a few others, once we stood as just two.
这个过份认真的人生 怀念曾经多天真
This overly serious life makes me long for the days of innocence,
习惯了分分合合
I've gotten used to breaking up and making up.
每次唱生日快乐 旧愿望还没发生
Every time we sing happy birthday, old wishes remain unfulfilled,
又得想几个新的
Now I need to think of a few new ones,
回忆只剩下局部
Memories are left in fragments,
就算再和你倒带人生 能失而复得
Even if I could rewind my life with you, it wouldn’t come back.
那时环游世界的梦也不再做了
Back then, the dream of traveling the world is no longer pursued.
只要依靠著
As long as I lean on you.
晚餐还是一个人
Dinner is still just for one.
你曾经坐在这微笑著热汤给我喝
You once sat here, smiling, letting me sip your hot soup.
想到就很快乐 我真的知足 够了
Thinking of it brings me joy, I'm truly content, it's enough.
想念不小心跳针了 别担心了 都过去了
Missing you has become a broken record, but don’t worry, it’s all in the past.
低头等车厢再开门
I bow my head, waiting for the compartment door to open.
站著同几个人 曾经我们两个人
Standing among a few, it used to be just the two of us.
这个过份认真的人生 怀念曾经多天真
This overly serious life makes me long for our innocent days.
习惯了分分合合
I've gotten used to the ups and downs.
每次唱生日快乐 旧愿望还没发生
Every time I sing 'Happy Birthday', old wishes remain unfulfilled
想不到什么新的该值得
I can't think of anything new that's worth it
回忆只剩下局部
Memories have become mere fragments
就算再和你倒带人生 能失而复得
Even if I rewind life with you, what can be lost can never be regained
那时环游世界的梦也不再做了
That dream of traveling the world is not one I have anymore
只要依靠著
As long as I lean on
晚餐还是一个人
Dinner is still a solitary affair
你曾经坐在这第几餐我都不记得
I can't remember which meal you sat with me at
想到就很快乐 我真的知足 够了
Thinking of you brings such joy, I'm truly content, that's enough
偶而想起你 自言自语 点点滴滴
Occasionally I think of you, talking to myself, piece by piece
幸福是个秘密 享受却不知情
Happiness is a secret, enjoyed yet unaware.
谁夜里重播的旧黑白片 想起是我什么人生箴言?
Who plays old black-and-white films at night, what life's advice do they remind me of?
我都感激 已经很随心 已经很随心
I am grateful, already going with the flow, already going with the flow.
回忆只剩下局部
Memories are left only in fragments.
就算再和你倒带人生 能失而复得
Even if I rewind life with you, can I find what was lost?
那时环游世界的梦如果再做了
If the dream of traveling the world could be dreamt again,
有没有可能?
Is it even possible?
晚餐还是一个人
Dinner is still a solitary affair.
你曾经坐在这另一份碗盘是你的
You once sat here, this other plate was yours.
想到就很快乐 我真的知足 够了
Just thinking of it brings me joy, I truly feel fulfilled, it's enough.
想念不小心跳针了 别担心了 都过去了
Missing you, I accidentally repeated my heart, don't worry, it's all in the past.
时间不小心停格了 别在意了 会过去的
Time has inadvertently come to a standstill, don't mind it, it will pass.
