时光是琥珀 泪一滴滴被反锁
Time is amber, tears locked drop by drop.
情书再不朽 也磨成沙漏
Love letters, though timeless, turn into sand.
青春的上游 白云飞走苍狗与海鸥
Upstream of youth, white clouds drift while dogs and seagulls roam.
闪过的念头 潺潺的溜走
Fleeting thoughts trickle away quietly.
命运好幽默 让爱的人都沉默
Fate is quite the joker, keeping lovers silent.
一整个宇宙换一颗红豆
A whole universe traded for a single red bean.
回忆如困兽 寂寞太久 而渐渐温柔
Memories, like trapped beasts, grow tender after loneliness lingers too long.
放开了拳头 反而更自由
Letting go of a fist brings an even greater freedom.
慢动作缱绻胶卷 重播默片
In slow motion, tangled film rewinds silent movies.
定格一瞬间
Freezing a moment in time.
我们在告别的演唱会
At our farewell concert,
说好不再见
We promised never to meet again.
你写给我 我的第一首歌
You wrote me my very first song.
你和我十指紧扣 默写前奏 可是那然后呢?
You and I, fingers tightly intertwined, silently writing the prelude, but what comes after?
还好我有我这一首情歌
Fortunately, I have this love song of mine.
轻轻的轻轻哼著 哭著笑著 我的天长地久
Softly, softly humming along, laughing and crying, my eternity.
命运好幽默 让爱的人都沉默
Fate has a sense of humor, making those in love fall silent.
一整个宇宙换一颗红豆
A whole universe for a single red bean.
回忆如困兽 寂寞太久 而渐渐温柔
Memories like trapped beasts, loneliness lasts too long, yet gradually becomes tender.
放开了拳头 反而更自由
Letting go of my fist, I find even more freedom.
长镜头越拉越远 越来越远
The long shot pulls away, further and further
事隔好几年
Years have passed
我们在怀念的演唱会
At the concert we reminisce
礼貌地吻别
We part with a polite kiss
你写给我 我的第一首歌
You wrote for me my very first song
你和我十指紧扣 默写前奏 可是那然后呢?
You and I, fingers tightly intertwined, silently drafting the intro, but then what?
还好我有我这一首情歌
Luckily, I have this love song of mine
轻轻的轻轻哼著 哭著笑著 我的天长地久
Gently humming along, crying and laughing, my eternal moment
陪我唱歌 清唱你的情歌
Sing with me, serenade your love song
舍不得短短副歌 心还热著 也该告一段落
Reluctant to let go of the short chorus, my heart still warm, it should come to a close
还好我有我下一首情歌
Luckily, I've got my next love song.
生命宛如静静的相拥的河 永远天长地久
Life is like a quietly embracing river, forever and ever.
