闻说你时常在下午来这里寄信件
I heard you often come here in the afternoon to send letters
逢礼拜留连艺术展 还是未间断
Lingering at art exhibitions on Sundays, it hasn't stopped yet
何以我来回巡逻遍 仍然和你擦肩
Why do I patrol back and forth, still brushing past you?
还仍然在各自宇宙错过了春天
We still miss the spring in our own separate universes
只差一点点即可以再会面
Just lacking a little bit to meet again
可惜偏偏刚刚擦过
But unfortunately, we just brushed past each other
十面埋伏过孤单感更赤裸
Surrounded on all sides, loneliness feels even more exposed
总差一点点先可以再会面
Always just a little short of meeting again
仿佛应该一早见过
It's as if we should have met long ago
但直行直过 只差一个眼波
But just walking straight through, we were a mere glance apart
将彼此错过
Missing each other inevitably,
迟两秒搭上地下铁 能与你碰上么?
Two seconds late for the subway, will I run into you?
如提前十步入电梯 谁又被错过?
Like stepping into the elevator ten steps early, who else gets left behind?
和某某从来未预约 为何能见更多?
Never scheduled with someone, yet we meet even more often.
全城来撞你 但最后处处有险阻
The whole city crashes into you, but everywhere lies a hidden danger.
只差一点点即可以再会面
Just a tiny bit more, and we could meet again.
可惜偏偏刚刚擦过
Sadly, we just brushed past each other.
十面埋伏过孤单感更赤裸
Caught in the ambush of loneliness, it feels even more exposed.
总差一点点先可以再会面
Always a little bit short before we can reunite.
仿佛应该一早见过
As if we should have crossed paths long ago.
但直行直过 只等一个眼波
But I just move straight on, waiting for a glance.
轨迹改变 角度交错
Trajectories change, angles intertwine.
寂寞城市又再探戈
Lonely city dances the tango once more.
天空闪过灿烂花火
The sky flashes with brilliant fireworks.
和你不再为爱奔波
No longer do we rush for love together.
总差一点点先可以再会面
Always just a bit short of our reunion.
悔不当初轻轻放过
Regretting not letting go gently back then.
现在惩罚我分手分错了么?
Now am I punished for the wrong breakup?
分开一千天 天天盼再会面
Separated for a thousand days, yearning for a reunion each day.
只怕使你先找到我
Only afraid you might find me first.
但直行直过 天都帮你去躲
But just keep going, and the sky will help you hide
躲开不见我
Avoid seeing me
Hoo-ooh, no, oh
Hmm-mm-mm-mm. hoo-ooh
