你是否天使
Are you an angel?
你是否天使 在尘俗 玩游日子
Are you an angel in this mundane world, playing through the days?
你是否天使 荡来梦一次
Are you an angel, drifting into my dreams once more?
你目光可以 令长夜寂寥静止
Your gaze can stop the long, lonely night in its tracks.
年月已无憾 是你的飘至
The years hold no regrets, for it’s your presence here.
你若非天使 为何又 夜来愿到此
If you're not an angel, then why do you wish to come every night?
我内心本已 没存在诗意
My heart, once lacking in poetic grace,
你若非天使 怎么 每一次
If you’re not an angel, then why each time,
为我的失意 洒泪一次
Do you shed tears for my failures?
纯真不可创伤的心意
A heart so pure, undamaged by pain.
人海中怎去找这真挚 共我奔驰
In the sea of people, how do I find this sincerity to run with me?
感激一生都可以
Grateful for a lifetime, that I can take you in.
吻着你这面容 岁月尽仍未动移
Kissing your face, through the years it still remains unchanged.
我绝非天使 在尘俗 漫长日子
I am by no means an angel, in this mundane and lengthy life.
冷落于都市 没存在诗意
Feeling lonely in the city, devoid of poetic essence.
你若非天使 怎么每一次
If you’re not an angel, then why is it every time?
你若非天使 为何又 夜来愿到此
If you’re not an angel, then why do you willingly come here at night?
我内心本已 没存在诗意
My heart has long been without any poetic essence.
你若非天使 怎么 每一次
If you’re not an angel, then how is it every single time?
为我的失意 洒泪一次
Shedding tears once for my misfortunes.
纯真不可创伤的心意
A heart that remains untouched in its innocence,
人海中怎去找这真挚 共我奔驰
In a sea of people, how do I find this sincerity to run with me?
感激一生都可以
Gratitude can last a lifetime,
吻着你这面容 岁月尽仍未动移
Kissing your face, time stands still, unchanged.
我绝非天使 在尘俗 漫长日子
I am no angel, just a long day in the mundane,
冷落于都市 没存在诗意
Left cold in the city, devoid of poetry,
你若非天使 怎么每一次
If you are not an angel, then how come every time...
