Hey 一个女孩 为了恋爱 一生的命运从此改
Hey, a girl, for the sake of love, her fate forever changed from this day on.
这是意外 不算意外 没有应该不应该
This is an accident, but not really an accident; nothing should or shouldn't be.
*世上 每天有不同的可惜
*In this world, every day brings its own regrets.
她总选择微笑多于哭泣
She always chooses to smile more than to weep.
总要面对不要想著 放弃
You must face it, don't think about giving up.
生命还没结束自然就有它的目的
Life isn't over yet; naturally, it has its own purpose.
难道不是爱 这是爱 不变的爱
Isn't this love? This is love, an everlasting love.
她的每一步 比常人走得快
Every step she takes is swifter than others.
可以是无奈 可以是 无比精彩
It can be helpless, or it can be incredibly glorious.
爸爸走了妈妈不弃小孩
Dad has left, but Mom will not abandon the child.
她沉默 她认错 她错过钟声的生活
She is silent, she admits her fault, her life missed the tolling bell.
可诗篇里 也没有人 世情能看破
But in the verses, there is no one, who can see through love's entanglements.
爱情只深夜一现过 最后又结了果
Love only appeared in the deep of night, and then bore its fruit.
Repeat *
A young girl only seventeen, young like the evergreens,
Lookin' at life like a portal for the immortal
And life took a trip on her makin' her wife of a man
Who wasn't man enough just to hold her for life,
He left soon after the child was born with scorn
And she mourned everyday and every night
But with might and prayer and she found freedom,
Awareness and then she walked strong with her child in arm
难道不是爱 这是爱 不变的爱
Is it not love? This is love, unwavering love.
她的每一步 比常人走得快
Her every step is faster than the average person's.
可以是无奈 可以是 无比精彩
It could be helplessness, or it could be incredibly brilliant.
就算是安排 至少自己安排
Even if it's all planned, at least it's her own plan.
难道不是爱 这是爱 不变的爱
Is it not love? This is love, unwavering love.
她的每一步 比常人走得快
Her every step is faster than the average person's.
可以是无奈 可以是 无比精彩
It could be helplessness, or it could be incredibly brilliant.
就算是安排 至少自己安排
Even if it's all planned, at least it's her own plan.
难道不是爱 这是爱 不变的爱
Isn't this love? This is love, an unchanging love.
她的每一步 比常人走得快
With every step she takes, she moves faster than the rest.
可以是无奈 可以是 无比精彩
It could be helplessness, or it could be incredibly brilliant.
就算是安排 至少自己安排
Even if it's arranged, at least it's arranged by myself.
