孤单的人孤单一个
A lonely person is all alone,
感觉不到夜美好
Feeling the night’s beauty has flown.
而远我去的令我心烦燥
And yet, what troubles me from afar,
这个世界不好
This world is not as it should be,
令你令我多苦恼
Bringing you and me so much misery.
美梦完了这时还有爱慕
The sweet dream has ended, but still there’s affection,
孤单的人孤单一个
A lonely person is all alone,
失去感觉是最好
Losing the feeling is the best way to go.
何以再见总易惹起烦恼
Why does saying goodbye always stir up woe?
盼你永远都好
Wishing you always find joy in the flow.
在你梦中轻鼓舞
In your dreams, softly I dance
我像迷失不懂你预告
I wander lost, not grasping your sign
一时情
A fleeting feeling
不能明
Can't be clear
谁知道得不到那些是最好
Who knows what is best, if not attained
一时情
A fleeting feeling
不能停
Can't hold back
许多一生一世等不到
Many lifelong waits never arrive
像某些
Like some
孤单的人孤单一个
Lonely souls left in solitude
等这感觉是最好
Waiting for this feeling is the best
而你我与他在世间无数
And you, me, and him in this world, countless
过去永远都好
The past is always good
又等另一些苦恼
Yet waiting for other troubles
这是人生终于会遇到
This is life, we will eventually encounter
instrumental
一时情
A fleeting emotion
不能明
Cannot be clear
谁知道得不到那些是最好
Who knows that what we can't have is the best
一时情
A fleeting emotion
不能停
Can't stop,
许多一生一世等不到
Many a lifetime waits for what never comes,
像某些
Like certain,
孤单的人孤单一个
Lonely souls standing all alone,
等这感觉是最好
Waiting for a feeling that's just right,
而你我与他在世间无数
While you, I, and he are countless in this world,
过去永远都好
The past will always be fine,
又等另一些苦恼
Yet we wait for more hidden sorrows,
这是人生终于会遇到
This is life, where we finally meet,
(孤单的人孤单一个)
(Lonely souls standing all alone)
(等这感觉是最好)
(Waiting for this feeling is the best)
(而你我与他在世间无数)
(And you, me, and him in this world countless)
过去永远都好
The past is always good
又等另一些苦恼
Once again waiting for more troubles
这是人生终于会遇到
This is life, we will eventually meet
莫再悲
No more sadness
这个世界不好
This world isn’t kind
像有许多不知道
As if there are so many unknowns
你愿付出得不到回报
You’re willing to give without reward
