说再见后第一夜我辗转在床上难眠
After saying goodbye, the first night I toss and turn in bed, unable to sleep
闭上双眼全是妳泪盈盈双眼
With my eyes closed, all I see is you, tears glistening in your eyes
从来不舍妳流泪
I could never bear to see you cry
只愿给妳最美一切
All I wish is to give you the most beautiful everything
却在最后惹妳这么伤悲
Yet in the end, I caused you this deep sorrow
也许是相爱的时光太美
Perhaps the time we loved was just too beautiful
妳我才会如此眷恋
That's why we hold on to each other so dearly
也许是割舍的苦痛太深切
Maybe the pain of letting go runs too deep
让我无法忘记
Leaving me unable to forget
那夜与妳分手依依情节
That night when we parted, the lingering emotions remain
说再见以前 谁都怕流泪
Before saying goodbye, everyone dreads the tears
好让彼此能够好好记忆著彼此的脸
So we can remember each other's faces well
说再见以后 亲吻著妳的泪
After saying goodbye, kissing away your tears
只想要妳清楚知道我心中所有祝福
I just want you to clearly know all my blessings inside
说再见以前
Before saying goodbye
说再见后第一夜我辗转在床上难眠
The first night after goodbye, I toss and turn in bed, unable to sleep
闭上双眼全是妳泪盈盈双眼
With my eyes closed, all I see are your teary eyes
从来不舍妳流泪
I've never wanted to see you cry
只愿给妳最美一切
I only wish to give you the most beautiful of everything
却在最后惹妳这么伤悲
Yet in the end, I caused you so much sorrow
也许是相爱的时光太美
Perhaps the time we loved was too beautiful
妳我才会如此眷恋
That's why we hold onto it so dearly
也许是割舍的苦痛太深切
Maybe the pain of letting go is too profound
让我无法忘记
Leaving me unable to forget
那夜与妳分手依依情节
That night we parted with lingering emotions
说再见以前 谁都怕流泪
Before saying goodbye, we all feared the tears
好让彼此能够好好记忆著彼此的脸
So we could remember each other's faces well
说再见以后 亲吻著妳的泪
After saying goodbye, kissing your tears
只想要妳清楚知道我心中所有祝福
I just want you to clearly know all the blessings in my heart
说再见以前
Before saying goodbye
说再见以前 谁都怕流泪
Before we say goodbye, no one wants to shed a tear
好让彼此能够好好记忆著彼此的脸
So we can truly remember each other's face
说再见以后 亲吻著妳的泪
After we say goodbye, kissing away your tears
只想要妳清楚知道我心中所有祝福
I just want you to know all the blessings in my heart
说再见以前
Before we say goodbye
