梦内倾心一吻就算心动
In dreams, a heartfelt kiss feels like a spark of love,
现实可惜不配与你相拥
But alas, reality doesn't deserve your embrace.
沉溺于一刻的接触
Lost in a moment of touch,
哪管即将结束 已经满足
Who cares if it's about to end, I'm already content.
夜半再相见 迷雾里缱绻
Meeting again at midnight, entwined in the mist,
长夜梦中有过动魄迷人片段
Long nights filled with mesmerizing moments in dreams,
没法再相见 一醒了完全逆转
No chance to meet again, waking up reverses it all,
就似梦里面炽热爱海变冰川
Like a passionate sea in a dream turns into a glacier,
沉睡中的主角怎会怕寂寞?
How can the sleeping protagonist ever fear loneliness?
童话中的主角100年躺卧
The main character in a fairytale lies dormant for a hundred years.
埋在心底的爱慕能否跟你透露?
Can the admiration buried deep in my heart be revealed to you?
期待你只是虚无
Hoping you're nothing but an illusion
梦内相拥一刹就算感动
In dreams, embracing for a moment feels like a thrill
现实可惜经已结霜冰封
But reality, alas, has already frosted and frozen
谁奢想一生都抱紧?
Who could ever wish for a lifetime of tight embraces?
至少一刻快感亦当缘份
At least a moment of pleasure can be called fate
夜半再相见 迷雾里缱绻
Meeting again at midnight, entwined in the mist
长夜梦中有过动魄迷人片段
Through the long night, fragments of passion in dreams
没法再相见 一醒了完全逆转
Unable to meet again, once awake it all reverses
就似梦里面炽热爱海变冰川
Just like in dreams, a fervent sea of love turns to ice
沉睡中的主角怎会怕寂寞?
How could the protagonist in slumber fear loneliness?
童话中的主角100年躺卧
In the fairytale, the main character lies for a hundred years
埋在心底的爱慕 如果跟你透露
The affection buried deep in my heart, if I were to share it with you
其实也只是虚无
Is actually just emptiness
如现实中只可以独个妄想不休止
As in reality, I can only endlessly daydream alone
宁愿继续沉睡 甜梦里永远一对
I'd rather continue to sleep, forever a pair in sweet dreams
不管它真真假假
No matter if it's real or not
梦中的主角怎会怕寂寞?
How could the protagonist in dreams fear loneliness?
童话中的主角100年躺卧
In the fairytale, the main character lies for a hundred years
埋在心底的爱慕能否跟你透露?
Can the affection buried deep in my heart be revealed to you?
期待你同样倾慕
Hoping you feel the same yearning
沉睡中的主角怎会怕寂寞?
How can the sleeping protagonist fear loneliness?
无奈苏醒的我100年凄楚 yeah-yeah
Awakening helplessly, I feel sorrow after a century, yeah-yeah
谁愿一生只有恨? 能否给我安枕?
Who would wish to live a life filled with hate? Can you grant me peaceful sleep?
谁令我一直空等?
Who has kept me waiting in vain?
Ho-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh, ooh-hoo
