咖啡 再续杯 回想 这一切好多
Coffee, another cup, recalling all these moments
的细节 譬如妳嘟嘴 微笑的离别
The little details, like your pout and the smile of goodbye
窗外 的世界 霓虹 在交会
The world outside, neon lights intertwining
缤纷 整条街 我安静了解 没妳的感觉
Colorful, the whole street, I quietly understand the feeling without you
纸鹤 妳温柔对折 如爵士乐般随性的快乐
Paper cranes, you gently fold them, joy flowing like jazz, carefree
此刻 水清澈 远方的麦田金黄色
At this moment, the water is clear, fields of wheat golden afar
千纸鹤 故事还温热 随性的 我们唱起歌
A thousand paper cranes, the story still warm, we sing spontaneously
我走过 牧笛声轻吹著 那爱情走到这 微笑不争了
I walk past, the soft sound of shepherd flutes, love has come to this point, smiles no longer striving
Oh 山水泼墨的感觉 一页 彩蝶前世的感觉
Oh, the feeling of ink-washed mountains and waters, a page from the previous life of butterflies
一页 红尘几世的轮回 再写 今生缘份还是倾斜
A page of earthly cycles through many lifetimes, rewriting this life’s fate still tilts
时间 若倒退 再次 给机会
Time, if it could turn back, would give us another chance.
理由 怎么给 妳一句不爱了 以为就解决
How could I tell you that I no longer love you, thinking it would solve everything?
空了 的香水 干掉 的玫瑰
The empty perfume, the withered rose.
问了 一整夜 妳慵懒撒野 说解释很累
I asked all night, you lazily ran wild, saying explaining is tiring.
纸鹤 妳温柔对折 如爵士乐般随性的快乐
The paper crane, you gently fold it, like jazz, carefree joy.
或许 让妳离去 只是换个方式 爱妳
Perhaps letting you go is just another way of loving you.
千纸鹤 故事还温热 随性的 我们唱起歌
A thousand paper cranes, the story still warm, we casually sing.
我走过 牧笛声轻吹著 那爱情走到这 微笑不争了
I walked past, the shepherd's flute softly playing, that love has come to this, smiles no longer competing.
Oh 山水泼墨的感觉 一页 彩蝶前世的感觉
Oh, the feeling of ink splashed mountains and water, a page, the feeling of butterflies from past lives.
一页 红尘几世的轮回 再写 今生缘份还是倾斜
A page, the cycles of several lifetimes in the mortal world, rewriting that in this life, fate still tilts.
妳的美游走在两个世代
Your beauty wanders between two generations
两个不同美学那种年代在不在
Do those two different aesthetics even exist?
两种不同期待 我终于明白
Two kinds of expectations, I finally understand
妳爱不爱都意外 不应该等待等
Whether you love or not comes as a surprise, we shouldn't wait
妳不爱 就是离开 就是不回来
If you don't love, then just leave, and never return
台阶上整遍青苔蔓延到了斑驳的古墙
On the steps, green moss spreads to the weathered old wall
太阳西晒 妳在等水面上的芙蓉花开
The sun sets in the west, you're waiting for the lotus to bloom on the water
而我偏爱我们就处在这安静的状态
And I prefer that we remain in this quiet state
千纸鹤 故事还温热(纸鹤 一千次快乐)
A thousand paper cranes, the story is still warm (paper cranes, a thousand times happiness)
千纸鹤 是妳给的(纸鹤 一千次快乐 还爱著)
A thousand paper cranes, it's a gift from you (paper cranes, a thousand times happiness, still in love)
妳做了选择爱情停格 我也决定割舍千纸鹤
You chose to pause love, and I decided to let go of a thousand paper cranes.
故事还温热 随性的 我们唱起歌(千纸鹤)我走过 牧笛声轻吹著 那爱情走到这 微笑不争了(唱一千次的歌 凌空 飞过 的快乐)
The story is still warm, casual as we sing (a thousand paper cranes) as I walk by, the sound of the pastoral flute gently blowing, that love has come this far, smiles no longer competing (singing a song a thousand times, joy flying through the air).
Oh 山水泼墨的感觉 一页 彩蝶前世的感觉
Oh, the feeling of ink splashed across mountains and rivers, a page, the sensation of colorful butterflies from a past life.
一页 红尘几世的轮回 再写 今生缘份还是倾斜
A page, the cycles of many lifetimes in the mortal realm, rewriting, this life's fate still tilted.
