千里之外 lyrics with English translation

屋簷如悬崖 风铃如沧海 我等燕归来

The eaves like a cliff, wind chimes like the sea, I await the return of the swallows.

时间被安排演一场意外 你悄然走开

Time choreographed an unexpected play, and you quietly walked away.

故事在城外 浓雾散不开 看不清对白

The story lies beyond the city, thick fog lingers, obscuring dialogues.

你听不出来 风声不存在 是我在感慨

You can't hear it, the sound of the wind doesn't exist; it's just my deep sighs.

梦醒来 是谁在窗台把结局打开?

Awaking from dreams, who opens the ending on the windowsill?

那薄如蝉翼的未来 经不起谁来拆

That future as thin as a cicada's wing can't withstand anyone's dismantling.

我送你离开千里之外 你无声黑白

I send you away a thousand miles, you remain in silent black and white.

沉默年代 或许不该太遥远的相爱

In this silent era, perhaps loving shouldn't be too far apart.

我送你离开天涯之外 你是否还在?

I send you away beyond the ends of the earth, are you still there?

琴声何来? 生死难猜 用一生去等待

Where does the music come from? Life and death are hard to guess, a lifetime spent waiting.

一身琉璃白 透明著尘埃 你无瑕的爱

A body of translucent white, shimmering with dust, your flawless love.

你从雨中来 诗化了悲哀 我淋湿现在

You came from the rain, turning sorrow into poetry, I’m drenched in the present.

芙蓉水面采 船行影犹在 你却不回来

Lotus flowers bloom on the water's surface, the boat's shadow still remains, yet you won’t return.

被岁月覆盖 你说的花开 过去成空白

Covered by the years, the flowers you spoke of have faded into blankness.

梦醒来 是谁在窗台把结局打开?

When the dream awakens, who opens the ending at the window?

那薄如蝉翼的未来 经不起谁来拆

That future as thin as a cicada's wing, can’t withstand anyone's unraveling.

我送你离开千里之外 你无声黑白

I send you away, a thousand miles apart, in silence, black and white.

沉默年代 或许不该太遥远的相爱

In these quiet years, perhaps love should not be too distant.

我送你离开天涯之外 你是否还在?

I send you away from the ends of the earth, are you still there?

琴声何来? 生死难猜 用一生

Where does the sound of the zither come from? Life and death are hard to guess, using a lifetime.

我送你离开千里之外 你无声黑白

I send you off a thousand miles away, you're silently in black and white.

沉默年代 或许不该太遥远的相爱

In this silent era, perhaps we shouldn't love from too far away.

我送你离开天涯之外 你是否还在?

I send you off beyond the ends of the earth, are you still there?

琴声何来? 生死难猜 用一生去等待

Where does the sound of the qin come from? Life and death are hard to guess, using a lifetime to wait.
