还没好好的感受雪花绽放的气候
I haven't truly felt the climate where snowflakes bloom,
我们一起颤抖会更明白什么是温柔
When we shiver together, we'll understand what tenderness means,
还没跟你牵著手走过荒芜的沙丘
I haven't held your hand, walking through the barren dunes,
可能从此以后学会珍惜天长和地久
Perhaps from now on I'll learn to cherish the lasting moments,
有时候 有时候 我会相信一切有尽头
Sometimes, sometimes, I believe that everything has an end,
相聚离开都有时候 没有什么会永垂不朽
Reunions and farewells happen at times, nothing lasts forever,
可是我有时候宁愿选择留恋不放手
But sometimes I’d rather choose to linger and not let go,
等到风景都看透 也许你会陪我看细水长流
When the scenery is all seen, maybe you'll accompany me to watch the gentle flow,
还没为你把红豆熬成缠绵的伤口
I haven't stewed red beans into a bittersweet wound for you,
然后一起分享会更明白相思的哀愁
And then sharing together makes us better understand the sorrow of longing.
还没好好的感受 醒著亲吻的温柔
Still haven't truly felt the gentle kisses of waking dreams,
可能在我左右 你才追求孤独的自由
Maybe only when I'm by your side, do you seek the lonely freedom.
有时候 有时候 我会相信一切有尽头
Sometimes, sometimes, I believe all things have an end.
相聚离开都有时候 没有什么会永垂不朽
Gathering and parting have their times, nothing lasts forever.
可是我有时候宁愿选择留恋不放手
But sometimes I’d rather choose to hold on and not let go.
等到风景都看透 也许你会陪我看细水长流
When I’ve seen through all the scenery, maybe you’ll watch the slow streams with me.
有时候 有时候 我会相信一切有尽头
Sometimes, sometimes, I believe all things have an end.
相聚离开都有时候 没有什么会永垂不朽
Gathering and parting have their times, nothing lasts forever.
可是我有时候宁愿选择留恋不放手
But sometimes I’d rather choose to hold on and not let go.
等到风景都看透 也许你会陪我看细水长流
When I’ve seen through all the scenery, maybe you’ll watch the slow streams with me.
