来到今天
Here we are today
离别又靠近
Parting and yet drawing near
流泪是你一张面
Tears are but your face
何苦当天
Why suffering on that day
留我身边
Keep me by your side
陪伴度过风雨天
Together we'll brave the stormy days
痴痴缠缠反复的恋爱已极倦
This endless, tangled love has grown so weary
难道欢欣感觉是最短
Could joy truly be the briefest of feels?
分分离离所得的一切是怀缅
What we gain from endless separation is mere nostalgia
难道爱是最终换来伤痛每一天
Is love ultimately just a trade for pain each day?
只要爱的真
As long as love is real,
纵使离别天边海角仍然心贴近
Even if parting is at the ends of the earth, our hearts remain close.
明白爱是永远一人
Understanding that love lasts forever for one,
明白爱是永不遗憾
Understanding that love brings no regrets.
请你再抱紧
Please hold me tight once more,
爱是宁愿沧桑改变仍然真心
Love prefers to embrace the changes of time, yet remains sincere.
明白偶遇也都是缘分
Understanding that every encounter is a fateful bond,
来到今天
Arriving at today,
离别又靠近
Parting brings us closer again,
流泪是你一张面
Tears reflect your face.
何苦当天
Why endure the day,
留我身边
keeping me close by,
陪伴度过风雨天
to weather the storms together,
痴痴缠缠反复的恋爱已极倦
this love entangled, cycling back, I'm so worn out.
难道欢欣感觉是最短
Is joy and thrill the shortest of all?
分分离离所得的一切是怀缅
What we gain from partings is but memories,
难道爱是最终换来伤痛每一天
Is love destined to bring pain each day?
只要爱的真
As long as love is true,
纵使离别天边海角仍然心贴近
even if we part at the world’s end, our hearts stay near.

Understanding love is forever one.
