谁让寂寞无言飘过
Who let the silence drift by in its wordless way
时光偷窥我俩的奈何
Time steals a glance at our helplessness today
人如离别 此刻怨言若太多
As people part, this moment feels heavy to say
如追悔 心中也自觉很傻
In regret, I know in my heart I seem foolish this way
蓝色街灯徐徐引退
Blue streetlights slowly begin to fade away
能否推开你我的眼泪
Can we push through the tears that we've cried in dismay?
离别重聚 多少次离合告吹
Departures and reunions, how many times love didn't stay
遗失的一些再没法面对
Lost pieces that we can never face again, I pray
微蓝在眼里凝聚 占据夜幕呆望
A soft blue gathers in my eyes, in the night it holds sway
车将远去 爱亦去
The car drives away, and love drifts away
街灯都苦笑 去掩盖心碎
The streetlights smile bitterly, hiding shattered hearts
重逢后再度离别 惯了又是离别
After reuniting, we part again, accustomed to farewells once more
车将远去 爱亦去
The car drifts away, love departs as well
将哭声辗碎 像爱情没法追
Cries are crushed like love that cannot be chased
蓝色街灯 映不出的痛楚
Blue streetlights can't reflect the pain
流浪风里 反复低唱这首歌
In the wandering wind, I sing this song again and again
蓝色街灯 路已渐变孤寂
Blue streetlights, the road is slowly turning lonely
明日倘会 伤心失意 可挂念我
If tomorrow brings sadness and regret, please remember me
蓝色街灯徐徐引退
Blue streetlights gradually retreat
能否推开你我的眼泪
Can we push away the tears of you and me?
离别重聚 多少次离合告吹
Parting and reuniting, how many times have we failed?
遗失的一些再没法面对
Some things lost can no longer be faced.
微蓝在眼里凝聚 占据夜幕呆望
A faint blue gathers in my eyes, filling the night with a blank stare.
车将远去 爱亦去
The car will drive away, love will too.
街灯都苦笑 去掩盖心碎
The streetlights bitterly smile, trying to hide the heartbreak.
重逢后再度离别 惯了又是离别
Reunion leads to parting once more, I'm accustomed to this goodbye.
车将远去 爱亦去
The car will drive away, love will too.
将哭声辗碎 像爱情没法追
Crushing the cries, like love that can't be chased.
蓝色街灯 映不出的痛楚
Blue streetlights can't reflect the pain.
流浪风里 反复低唱这首歌
In the drifting wind, I endlessly sing this song.
蓝色街灯 路已渐变孤寂
The blue streetlight, the road's grown lonely and dim
明日倘会 伤心失意 可挂念我
If tomorrow should bring, heartache and despair, think of me then
蓝色街灯 映不出的痛楚
The blue streetlight, can't reflect the pain within
流浪风里 反复低唱这首歌
In the wandering wind, I sing this song again
蓝色街灯 路已渐变孤寂
The blue streetlight, the road's grown lonely and dim
明日倘会 伤心失意 可挂念我
If tomorrow should bring, heartache and despair, think of me then
