我从来没有想到过
I never thought about it
离别的滋味这样凄凉
The taste of parting feels this desolate
这一刻忽然间我感觉
In this moment, suddenly I feel
好象一只迷途羔羊
Like a lost little lamb
不知道应该回头
I don’t know whether to turn back
还是在这里等候
Or to wait here for you
在不知不觉中泪已成行
Unknowingly, tears have begun to flow
如果早知道是这样
If I had known it would be like this
我不会答应你离开我身旁
I wouldn't have agreed to let you leave my side
我说过我不会哭
I said I wouldn't cry
我说过为你祝福
I said I've blessed you
这时候我已经没有主张
At this moment, I have no more opinions
虽然我知道在离别的时候
Though I know that during farewells
不免儿女情长
Emotions are bound to run deep
到今天才知道说一声再见
Only today did I realize saying goodbye
需要多么坚强
Requires such strength
我想要忍住眼泪
I want to hold back my tears
却不能忍住悲伤
But I can't hold back the sorrow
在不知不觉中泪已成行
Unknowingly, tears have already begun to flow
我从来没有想到过
I never expected this
离别的滋味这样凄凉
The taste of parting feels so forlorn,
这一刻忽然间我感觉
At this moment, I suddenly sense,
好象一只迷途羔羊
Like a lost lamb adrift,
不知道应该回头
Unsure whether to turn back,
还是在这里等候
Or to stay here, waiting still.
在不知不觉中泪已成行
Unknowingly, tears have started to flow.
如果早知道是这样
If I had known it would be like this,
我不会答应你离开我身旁
I wouldn't have agreed to let you leave my side.
我说过我不会哭
I once said I wouldn't cry,
我说过为你祝福
I once said I would bless you.
这时候我已经没有主张
At this moment, I've lost my resolve
虽然我知道在离别的时候
Though I know that at parting
不免儿女情长
Sentiment inevitably lingers on
到今天才知道说一声再见
Only today do I realize that saying goodbye
需要多么坚强
Requires such strength
我想要忍住眼泪
I want to hold back my tears
却不能忍住悲伤
Yet I can't suppress the sadness
在不知不觉中泪已成行
Unknowingly, tears have begun to flow
在不知不觉中泪已成行
Unknowingly, tears have begun to flow
