也许你为了抹走荒原的灰尘
Perhaps you're trying to wipe away the dust of the wilderness,
也许我为了霓红的眼神
Perhaps I seek the radiant gaze of neon lights.
反正来到了围城 反正事情总要发生
Anyway, we've arrived at the walled city; things are bound to happen.
关上门 只有我们
Close the door, it's just us inside.
就趁一夜比一生更容易诚恳
Let's seize the night; it's easier to be sincere than a lifetime.
就让谁对谁都不该残忍
Let no one be cruel to anyone else.
反正所有的陌生 都在渴望一盏灯
After all, all the strangers long for a guiding light.
关上门 只有我们
Close the door, it's just us inside.
就当梦想总会成真 残缺也总会完整
Let's believe that dreams will surely come true; imperfections will find their wholeness.
只觉得 我和你曾经永恒
I just feel that you and I once shared eternity.
不记得 有没有问
I can’t recall if I ever asked
只记得 我和你一样认真
I only remember how serious we were, both you and I
不能倾城 只能销魂
Can't conquer the city, only can lose myself in you
没有别人 我只有爱人
No one else, just my lover by my side
就算到明天你会统统不承认
Even if by tomorrow you deny it all
至少现在你叫我很虔诚
At least for now, you call me with such sincerity
难道所有的爱恨 都在等待一个人
Is it that all love and hate are just waiting for one person?
关上门 只有我们
Close the door, it’s just the two of us
就当梦想总会成真 残缺也总会完整
Let’s pretend that dreams will always come true, that the incomplete will be whole
只觉得 我和你曾经永恒
I just feel that you and I once shared eternity
不记得 有没有问
Can't remember if I asked
只记得 我和你一样认真
Just remember that I took it as seriously as you did
不能倾城 只能销魂
Can't conquer the world, only captivate the soul
没有别人 我只有爱人
No one else, I only have you, my love
谁认得 海誓山盟
Who recognizes the vows of eternity?
只认得 你送我一条皱纹
Only recognize that you gifted me a wrinkle
不能倾城 只能销魂
Can't conquer the world, only captivate the soul
没有别人 我只有爱人
No one else, I only have you, my love
你没有完成 我只有可能
You didn't finish, I only have possibility
你没有别人 我只有爱人
You have no one else, I only have you, my love
（啦啦啦啦啦 啦啦啦啦啦）
La la la la la, la la la la la
（啦啦啦啦啦 啦啦啦啦啦）
La la la la la, la la la la la
