情像雨飘泊
Love drifts like the rain,
思忆翻起了风雨 雨丝中交织妳名字
Memories stir the storm, your name woven in the raindrops.
重重愁意 谁人能知 最爱那段旧故事
Heavy sorrows, who can truly know? It's the old stories I cherish most.
翻起一千串哭诉 如眼泪早淹盖长路
A thousand cries resurface, like tears drowning a long road.
能埋藏烦恼 当天的拥抱
Able to bury the worries, in that day's embrace.
＊情像雨飘泊 雨伞下
*Love drifts like the rain, beneath the umbrella.
求抵挡终此生的伤痛无奈与绝望
Seeking to withstand the pain, the helplessness and despair of this life.
行装中 背著求宽恕眼光
In my pack, I carry the plea for forgiveness in my gaze.
情像雨飘泊 两颗心灵风里跌荡
Love drifts like the rain, two hearts tossed about in the wind.
今生也极难重遇相爱渺茫
In this life, it's so hard to find love again, hope feels distant.
求苦雨夜洒 亲亲妳脸庞＊
In the pleading rain of the night, darling, your face glistens;
痴心翻起了风雨 那水珠惊醒了前事
My infatuation stirs up the storm, those droplets awaken the past;
幕幕如戏 前尘如飞 最爱那段旧故事
Scenes like a performance, previous lives like fleeting memories, I cherish that old tale the most.
担起此一晚风雨 靠紧些悲泣与长夜
Bearing this night of wind and rain, clinging to the sorrow and the long night;
能忘怀时间 心知再会难
To forget the passing time, knowing well that parting is hard.
