明月光为何又照地堂?
Why does the bright moonlight shine again on the ground?
宁愿在公园躲藏 不想喝汤
I would rather hide in the park than drink soup.
任由目光留在漫画一角
Letting my gaze linger in a corner of the comic.
为何望母亲一眼就如罚留堂?
Why does a glance at my mother feel like detention?
孩童只盼望欢乐 大人只知道寄望
Children only wish for joy, while adults only know to hope.
为何都不大懂得努力体恤对方?
Why don't we all understand the effort to empathize with one another?
大门外有蟋蟀 回响却如同幻觉
Outside the big gate, a cricket chirps, yet the echo feels like a dream.
Shall we talk, shall we talk
Shall we talk, shall we talk
就当重新手拖手去上学堂
Let's pretend to hand in hand go back to school.
陪我讲 陪我讲出我们最后何以生疏
Stay with me, stay with me, and tell me why we grew distant in the end.
谁怕讲? 谁会可悲得过孤独探戈?
Who’s afraid to speak? Who can be more pitiful than a lonely tango?
难得可以同座 何以要忌讳赤裸?
It's rare to share a seat, so why shy away from being bare?
如果心声真有疗效 谁怕暴露更多? 你别怕我
If heartfelt words truly heal, who fears revealing more? Don't be afraid of me.
荧幕发光 无论什么都看
The screen shines bright, watching everything unfold.
情人在分手边缘 只敢喝汤
Lovers on the edge of parting, only daring to sip the broth.
若沉默似金 还谈什么恋爱?
If silence is golden, what’s there left to say about love?
宁愿在发声机器面前笑著忙
I’d rather laugh and stay busy in front of the speaking machine.
成人只寄望收获 情人只听见承诺
Adults only hope for harvest, lovers only hear promises.
为何都不大懂得努力珍惜对方?
Why does everyone struggle to truly cherish one another?
螳螂面对蟋蟀 回响也如同幻觉
The mantis faces the cricket, echoes feel just like an illusion.
Shall we talk, shall we talk
Shall we talk, shall we talk
就算牙关开始打震 别说谎
Even if teeth start to tremble, don’t lie
陪我讲 陪我讲出我们最后何以生疏
Stay with me, stay with me, tell me how we ended up so distanced
谁怕讲? 谁会可悲得过孤独探戈?
Who’s afraid to speak? Who’s sadder than a lonely tango?
难得可以同座 何以要忌讳赤裸?
What a rare chance to sit together, why should we shy away from being bare?
如果心声真有疗效 谁怕暴露更多?
If heartfelt words truly heal, who fears revealing more?
陪我讲 陪我亲身正视眼泪谁跌得多
Stay with me, let me face the tears, who has fallen harder?
无法讲 除非彼此已失去了能力触摸
Can’t express, unless we've lost the ability to touch each other
铃声可以宁静 难过却避不过
The ringtone can be calm, but sorrow can't be avoided
如果沉默太沉重 别要轻轻带过
If silence is too heavy, don’t just brush it away lightly
明月光为何未照地堂?
Why hasn't the bright moonlight illuminated the ground?
情人在分手边缘 只敢喝汤
Lovers on the brink of parting, only daring to sip broth.
And shall we talk 斜阳白赶一趟
And shall we talk as the setting sun rushes by?
沉默令我听得见叶儿声声降
Silence lets me hear the leaves falling one by one.
