就在那一刻想去接近你
In that moment, I longed to be close to you
你的声音幽幽地透过寂寞从某异地
Your voice softly drifts through the loneliness from afar
愿让我隔于空气吻着你
I wish to kiss you through the air
更想清楚可见你 细雨夜静时满心欢喜
Even more, I want to clearly see you, my heart full of joy on a quiet rainy night
挂念时候合上我双眼 如蜜饯声音去又返
When I miss you, I close my eyes, as sweet sounds come and go
让思念摸索你 面容像已清减
Let my longing seek you, your face seems to have faded
从未心意冷 每想到你易添梦幻
My heart has never grown cold, every thought of you brings dreams anew
化身你面前心寄盼 这感觉为何更浪漫
Transforming before you, my heart holds hope, why does this feeling feel so romantic?
在我生死之间
Between my life and death
是你吗 是爱吗
Is it you? Is it love?
是你出于真心日日夜夜仿佛漆黑中说话
It's you who, with sincere heart, speaks in the dark day and night.
若有一天真的可以相见 定会终此一生不忘记
If one day we can truly meet, I will forever remember this life.
难道这个世界剩余下今天的真爱吗
Could this world still hold true love for today?
愿让我隔于空气吻着你
Let me kiss you through the air.
更想清楚可见你 细雨夜静时满心欢喜
I long to see you clearly, filled with joy on a quiet, rainy night.
挂念时候合上我双眼 如蜜饯声音去又返
When I miss you, I close my eyes, as sweet sounds come and go.
让思念摸索你 面容像已清减
Let my longing feel for you, your face seems to have faded away.
从未心意冷 每想到你易添梦幻
My heart has never grown cold; thinking of you brings dreams anew.
化身你面前心寄盼 这感觉为何更浪漫
Transforming before you, my heart yearns, why does this feeling feel more romantic?
在我生死之间
Between my life and death.
是你吗 是爱吗
Is it you? Is it love?
是你出于真心日日夜夜仿佛漆黑中说话
Is it you speaking from the heart, day and night, as if in the dark?
梦里飘飘忽忽一个影子 在我思海之中不退下
In dreams, a shadow floats softly, not fading from the sea of my thoughts.
是你吗 是爱吗
Is it you? Is it love?
是你出于真心日日夜夜仿佛漆黑中说话
Is it you speaking from the heart, day and night, as if in the dark?
像那一颗星星海角天边 让我仿佛之间可望见
Like a star at the edge of the sea and sky, making me feel it’s within reach.
留下这句这句说话 而非一般的对话
Leaving these words behind, not just ordinary dialogue.
明白我已欠你太多吗
Do you understand I owe you so much?
是你吗 是爱吗
Is it you? Is it love?
是你出于真心日日夜夜仿佛漆黑中说话
Is it you speaking from the heart, day and night, as if in the dark?
若有一天真的可以相见 定会终此一生不忘记
If one day we can truly meet, I will never forget it for the rest of my life.
难道这个世界剩余下今天的真爱吗
Is there really true love left in this world today?
