假如把犯得起的错
If I can afford to make mistakes,
能错的都错过
Then let all the chances slip away,
应该还来得及去悔过
I should still have time to regret it,
假如没把一切说破
If all secrets were left unsaid,
那一场小风波
That little storm we faced,
将一笑带过
Could simply be brushed aside with a smile.
在感情面前 讲什么自我
In the face of love, what's with the self-righteous talk?
要得过且过 才好过
Sometimes just getting by is enough to get through,
全都怪我
It's all my fault,
不该沉默时沉默
Shouldn't have stayed silent when I should've spoken up.
该勇敢时软弱
When I should be brave, I turn weak
如果不是我
If it weren't for me
误会自己洒脱 让我们难过
Misunderstanding myself, carefree, makes us sad
可当初的你 和现在的我 假如重来过
What if the you back then and the me now could start over
倘若那天
If only that day
把该说的话好好说
We could say what needed to be said
该体谅的不执著
And let go of the things we should understand
如果那天我 不受情绪挑拨
If that day I hadn't let emotions provoke me
你会怎么做
What would you have done
那么多如果 可能如果我
So many 'ifs', perhaps if I
可惜没如果 只剩下结果
It's a pity there are no 'ifs', only the outcome remains.
如果早点了解 那率性的你
If I had understood earlier, the you who was so carefree.
或者晚一点 遇上成熟的我
Or if I had met the mature version of myself a bit later.
不过
But,
全都怪我
It's all my fault.
不该沉默时沉默
I shouldn't have been silent when I needed to speak.
该勇敢时软弱
I faltered when I should have been brave.
如果不是我
If it weren't for me,
误会自己洒脱 让我们难过
Misunderstanding my own ease, it made us sad.
可当初的你 和现在的我 假如重来过
But the you back then and the me now, if only we could start over.
倘若那天
If that day
把该说的话好好说 该体谅的不执著
We spoke our truths and let go of what wasn't understood
如果那天我
If that day I
不受情绪挑拨 你会怎么做
Wasn't provoked by emotions, what would you do?
那么多如果 可能如果我
So many 'ifs', maybe if I
可惜没如果 没有你和我
But sadly there are no 'ifs', no you and me
都怪我
It's all my fault
不该沉默时沉默 该勇敢时软弱
I shouldn't have stayed silent when I should have spoken, I shouldn't have been weak when I should have been brave
如果不是我 误会自己洒脱 让我们难过
If it weren't for me, misunderstanding myself so freely, making us sad
可当初的你 和现在的我 假如重来过
But the you from back then and the me of now, if we could start over
倘若那天
If that day comes
把该说的话好好说 该体谅的不执著
We'd speak our minds clearly, letting go of stubbornness
如果那天我 不受情绪挑拨
If that day I wouldn’t be swayed by emotions
你会怎么做
What would you do?
那么多如果 可能如果我
So many possibilities, what if I...
可惜没如果 只剩下结果
But sadly, there are no possibilities left, just the outcome
可惜没如果
But sadly, there are no possibilities
