原谅我这一首 不为谁而作的歌
Forgive me this song, not made for anyone in mind.
感觉上仿佛窗外的夜色 oh
It feels like the night outside, oh.
曾经有那一刻 回头竟然认不得
There was a moment when I turned back, and couldn't recognize myself.
需要 从记忆 再摸索 的人
Needed to explore again from memory, to find my way.
和他们 关心的
And those places they care about,
的地方和那些 走过的 请等一等
And the paths we've walked—please wait a while.
梦为努力浇了水 爱在背后往前推
Dreams watered by effort, love pushing me forward from behind.
当我抬起头儿才发觉 我是不是忘了谁
When I raised my head, I realized I might have forgotten someone.
累到整夜不能睡 夜色哪里都是美
So tired that I can't sleep all night; the night is beautiful everywhere.
一定有个人 他 躲过 避过 闪过 瞒过 他是谁
There must be someone he hides from, evades, slips by, keeps secret—who is he?
他是谁 ooh-ooh
Who is he? ooh-ooh
原谅我这一首 不为谁而作的歌
Forgive me this song, not made for anyone in particular
感觉上仿佛窗外的夜色 oh
Feels like the night outside, oh
曾经有那一刻 回头竟然认不得
There was a moment when I turned back, and I couldn't recognize it
需要 从记忆 再摸索 的人
The ones who need to feel their way through memories
和他们 关心的
And the places they care about
的地方和那些 走过的 yeah
And those paths we’ve walked, yeah
梦为努力浇了水 爱在背后往前推
Dreams watered by efforts, love pushes forward from behind
当我抬起头儿才发觉 我是不是忘了谁
When I lift my head, I realize, have I forgotten someone?
累到整夜不能睡 夜色哪里都是美
So tired I can't sleep all night, the night is beautiful everywhere
一定有个人 他 躲过 避过 闪过 瞒过 他是谁
There must be someone, who has dodged and evaded, who are they?
他是谁 ooh
Who are they, ooh?
也许在真实 面对自己才 不顾一切
Perhaps in reality, facing oneself means throwing caution to the wind.
去探究当初我害怕面对
To explore what I once feared to confront.
梦为努力浇了水 爱在背后往前推
Dreams watered by effort, love pushing from behind.
当我抬起头儿才发觉 我是不是忘了谁
When I lift my head, I realize, have I forgotten someone?
累到整夜不能睡 夜色哪里都是美
Tired to the point of sleepless nights, the night is beautiful everywhere.
一定有个她 躲过 避过 闪过 瞒过 他是谁
There must be someone, who has dodged and evaded, who are they?
他是谁
Who are they?
他是谁
Who are they?
