银白色月牙 映照着脚ㄚ
The silver crescent moon reflects upon my feet,
一吋吋 一遍遍 亲吻浪花
Inches and again, kissing the crashing waves,
泥沙挣扎 浸湿眼角
The mud and sand struggle, wetting the corners of my eyes,
刹那 和着眼泪 分不清呀
In an instant, along with the tears, it's hard to tell apart,
你给的说法 说走到分岔
The explanation you gave, spoke of diverging paths,
又无力 又疲倦 付出爱的代价
Weak and weary, paying the price of love,
无力自拔 心放不下
Powerless to pull away, my heart just won't let go,
勉强 爱的盈缺 变成时差
Reluctantly, the ebb and flow of love turns into a time lag,
爱情不只玫瑰花 还有不安的惩罚
Love isn't just roses; there are also restless punishments,
快乐呀 误解呀 随着时间都会增长
Joy and misunderstanding, both grow with time.
退潮的爱像刀疤 伤过给一个说法
The love that recedes is like a scar, leaving a story of its pain.
放了才能够快乐 让心好好休息一下
Only by letting go can we find happiness, allowing the heart to rest awhile.
握不住的他 放下也罢
If I can't hold onto him, then it's best to let him go.
你给的说法 说走到分岔
The explanation you gave says we've reached a fork in the road.
又无力 又疲倦 付出爱的代价
Feeling powerless and exhausted, I've paid the price for love.
无力自拔 心放不下
Struggling to break free, my heart just can't let go.
勉强 爱的盈缺 变成时差
Reluctant, the ups and downs of love have turned into a time difference.
爱情不只玫瑰花 还有不安的惩罚
Love is not just about roses but also the anxious penalties we face.
快乐呀 误解呀 随着时间都会增长
Oh joy, oh misunderstanding, both grow with the passage of time.
退潮的爱像刀疤 伤过给一个说法
The love that recedes is like a scar, leaving a story of its pain.
放了才能够快乐 让心好好休息一下
Only by letting go can one find joy, allowing the heart a moment's rest.
握不住的沙 放下也罢
The sand you can't hold, just let it fall.
爱情不只玫瑰花 还有不安的惩罚
Love is more than roses, it also bears the weight of restless retribution.
快乐呀 误解呀 随着时间都会增长
Joy, oh joy, and misunderstandings, both grow with time.
退潮的爱像刀疤 伤过给一个说法
Love that recedes leaves scars like a blade, causing pain that begs for answers.
放了才能够快乐 让心好好休息一下
Only by letting go can one find joy, allowing the heart a moment's rest.
放了才能够快乐 让心好好休息一下
Only by letting go can one find joy, allowing the heart a moment's rest.
握不住的沙 放下也罢
The sand you can't hold, just let it fall.
握不住的他 放下也罢
The one you can't hold, just let it go.
