多么想 用说话留住你
How I wish to keep you with words,
心中想说 一生之中都只爱你
In my heart, I want to say, I'll only love you all my life.
为何换了对不起
Why did it turn into an apology?
今天分手像我完全负你
Today, breaking up feels like I'm completely failing you.
这伤痛盼望轻微
This pain, I hope it fades away.
望你渐忘记
I hope you gradually forget.
我 每日也想著你
I think of you every day.
靠在这街中等你
Leaning in this street, waiting for you.
遥远张望 随你悲喜
Gazing afar, following your joys and sorrows.
视线人浪中找你
Searching for you in the crowd's gaze.
行近 我又怕惊动你
As I approach, I fear to disturb you once more
我又怕心难死
I also dread a heart that can't die
立定决心以后分离
Resolving to part ways after this
一生里头 谁是我的心中最美
In this life, who is the fairest in my heart?
往日的你
The you of days gone by
今天分手像我完全负你
Today's breakup feels like I bear the blame entirely
这伤痛盼望轻微
I hope this pain will gently fade away
望你渐忘记
Hoping you gradually forget
我 每日也想著你
I think of you every single day
靠在这街中等你
Leaning here on the street, waiting for you
遥远张望 随你悲喜
Gazing far away, sharing your joys and sorrows,
视线人浪中找你
In the sea of people, I search for you,
行近 我又怕惊动你
As I draw near, I fear to startle you,
我又怕心难死
I fear my heart won't survive,
立定决心以后分离
Resolute, I decide to part ways from now on,
一生里头 谁是我的心中最美
In this lifetime, who is the most beautiful in my heart?
往日的你
The you of days gone by
