爱上了 看见你 如何不懂谦卑?
Fell in love, seeing you, how can I not understand humility?
去讲心中理想 不会俗气
To speak of dreams within my heart is never cliché.
犹如看得见晨曦 才能欢天喜地
Just like seeing the dawn, only then can I rejoice.
抱着你 我每次回来多少惊喜
Holding you, each time I return brings so much surprise.
也许一生太短 陪着你
Maybe a lifetime is too short to stay by your side.
情感有若行李 仍然沉重待我整理
Emotions like luggage, still heavy, waiting for me to sort.
天气不似预期 但要走 总要飞
The weather is not as expected, but when it's time to go, I must soar.
道别不可再等你 不管有没有机
Goodbyes can't wait for you anymore, regardless of chance.
给我体贴入微 但你手 如明日便要远离
Show me tenderness in detail, but your hands seem to part tomorrow.
愿你可以留下共我曾愉快的忆记
I hope you can stay with me, sharing our joyful memories.
当世事再没完美 可远在岁月如歌中找你
In a world where nothing is perfect anymore, I can still find you in the melody of time.
再见了 背向你 眉头多少伤悲
Goodbye now, turning away from you, how much sorrow in my frown.
也许不必再讲所有道理
Maybe there's no need to speak all the truths.
何时放松我自己才能花天酒地?
When can I let go of myself and indulge in the joys of life?
抱着你 我说过如何一起高飞
Holding you close, I once spoke of flying high together.
这天只想带走 还是你
This day, I just want to take away, still you.
如重温往日游记 但会否疲倦了嬉戏? Yeah
As if reliving past adventures, but will the joy become tiresome? Yeah.
Mhm 天气不似如期 但要走 总要飞
Mhm, the weather isn't as expected, but to leave, I must soar.
道别不可再等你 不管有没有机
A farewell cannot wait for you, regardless of whether there's a chance.
给我体贴入微 但你手 如明日便要远离
Give me your tender care, but your hands, as if they must part tomorrow.
愿你可以留下共我曾愉快的忆记
May you linger and share the joyful memories we've made
当世事再没完美 可远在岁月如歌中找你
When the world is devoid of perfection, I can still find you in the melody of time
