或许音乐太过煽情
Perhaps the music is too stirring,
街道太冷清 发现你美得孤寂
The streets are too quiet, I find your beauty lonely.
不知道你为谁伤心
I don't know who you're sad for.
想你一定爱得任性
I imagine you must love with abandon.
或许空气太过冰冷
Perhaps the air is too cold,
不论多靠近 看不清就像个谜
No matter how close, I can't see clearly; it's like a riddle.
如何温暖你的眼睛?
How can I warm your gaze?
我已经不能够确定
I can no longer be certain.
背弃自己保留的心情
Abandoning the feelings I’ve held onto,
爱缓缓地降临 付出不必太小心
Love descends slowly; giving doesn’t need to be cautious.
下一个决定 哪怕爱得任性
The next decision, even if love is willful,
不要约定更不要说明
No promises, and definitely no explanations.
就算是个梦境也要把真心给你
Even if it's just a dream, my heart is yours.
夜变得透明 让我爱得任性
The night turns transparent, letting me love with abandon.
或许空气太过冰冷
Perhaps the air is too cold,
不论多靠近 看不清就像个谜
No matter how close we are, it's still a mystery.
如何温暖你的眼睛?
How do I warm your eyes?
我已经不能够确定
I can no longer be certain.
背弃自己保留的心情
Abandon the feelings I've held onto,
爱缓缓地降临 付出不必太小心
Love descends gently, giving without caution.
下一个决定 哪怕爱得任性
The next decision, even if love is reckless,
不要约定更不要说明
No promises, and certainly no explanations.
就算是个梦境也要把真心给你
Even if it's just a dream, I will give you my heart.
夜变得透明 让我爱得任性
The night becomes transparent, letting me love with abandon.
背弃自己保留的心情
Abandoning the feelings I've held onto.
爱缓缓地降临 付出不必太小心
Love gradually descends, no need to be overly cautious.
下一个决定 哪怕爱得任性
The next decision, even if love is reckless,
不要约定更不要说明
No promises, and certainly no explanations.
就算是个梦境也要把真心给你
Even if it's just a dream, I will give you my heart.
夜变得透明 让我爱得任性
The night becomes transparent, letting me love with abandon.
