刻在树上的字任风刮
Words carved on a tree, let the wind blow them away.
写著爱著一个人的故事
Telling the story of loving someone.
但是文字还是文字不算话
But words are still just words, they don't hold weight.
想送给妳的每一束花
Every bouquet I wanted to give to you.
想陪妳的黄昏和沙滩
I long to share the dusk and the beach with you.
随著时间枯萎 梦醒了才后悔
With time they wither, only regretting when dreams awaken.
我是一个没勇气的人
I am a person lacking courage.
带著小小年纪的天真
Carrying the innocence of such a young age.
想妳一定是不敢转身
I think you must be too afraid to turn around.
脸上微笑心舍不得
With a smile on my face, but my heart is unwilling.
我没有莎士比亚的天份
I don't have Shakespeare's gift,
写出我们的喜怒哀乐
To write out our joy and sorrow.
但在这一刻写了一个完结篇
But in this moment, I've penned an ending,
失去了妳
Having lost you.
刻在树上的字任风刮
The words carved in the tree are at the mercy of the wind,
写著爱著一个人的故事
Telling the tale of loving someone,
但是文字还是文字不算话 ooh-ooh
But words remain just words, they don't mean much. ooh-ooh
想送给妳的每一束花
Every bouquet I wished to give you,
想陪妳的黄昏和沙滩
The twilight and the beach I wanted to share with you,
随著时间枯萎 梦醒了才后悔
With time, they wilt; I regret waking from the dream.
我是一个没勇气的人
I am a person without courage
带著小小年纪的天真
Carrying the innocence of my young years
想妳一定是不敢转身
I guess you must feel too scared to turn away
脸上微笑心舍不得
A smile on my face, but my heart can't let go
我没有莎士比亚的天份
I don't have Shakespeare's talent
写出我们的喜怒哀乐
To write down our joys and sorrows
但在这一刻写了一个完结篇
Yet in this moment, I've penned a final chapter
失去了妳
Having lost you
我是一个没勇气的人
I am a person without courage
带著小小年纪的天真
Carrying the innocence of my young years
想妳一定是不敢转身
I must not dare to turn away from thoughts of you
脸上微笑心舍不得
With a smile on my face, my heart can't let go
我没有莎士比亚的天份
I don’t have Shakespeare's talent
写出我们的喜怒哀乐
To express our joys and sorrows
但在这一刻写了一个完结篇
Yet in this moment, I wrote a final chapter
失去了妳
Having lost you
Hoo-ho
