南辕北辙
Going south when I'm headed north
回忆著 泛黄的 皱折 是什么
Remembering the faded, crumpled past, what is it?
交错的 每一格 转折 为什么
Every intersecting turn, each twist, why is it?
轻轻的 悄悄的 哼著 哼成歌
Softly, quietly, humming, turning it into a song
她很快乐
She is so happy
说著他 忧愁的 眼角 都笑了
Talking about him, the corners of her sorrowful eyes have smiled
她和他 完美的 婚礼 落幕了
Her and his perfect wedding has drawn to a close
我跟她 虚构的 故事 结束了
The fictional story between her and me has ended
不懂的未雨绸缪
Not understanding the need to prepare for rainy days
习惯了无处可躲
Getting used to having nowhere to hide
床头灯照亮眼前的 寂寞
The lamp by the bed illuminates the loneliness before me,
最好是我们都忘了
It’s best if we both forget,
最好是我们不记得
It’s best if we don’t remember,
嘘寒问暖中藏著 生疏的温柔
In the whispers of concern hides an unfamiliar tenderness.
听了我多不舍
Hearing it, I can’t bear to let go,
最好是我们都忘了
It’s best if we both forget,
最好是我们都不记得
It’s best if we don’t remember,
钢琴键还跳动著 黑白的余温
The piano keys still dance with the lingering warmth of black and white,
残留著妳的指纹 又如何
Left with your fingerprints, so what?
期待什么
What are we hoping for?
这首歌 唱进了 心坎 所以呢
This song has sung into the heart, so
妳和他 分享著 同个 姓氏了
You and he share the same last name now
看到照片里 可爱的 小孩 两岁了
Seeing the cute child in the photo, two years old
没关系了
It's okay now
遗失的 如今能 坦然 说出口
What was lost can now be spoken of calmly
曾经爱过的 笑得 深刻 就够了
Once loved, the memories smile deeply, that's enough
但脑海里 的画面 删不了
But the images in my mind can't be erased
怎么也 淡不掉颜色
No matter how hard I try, the colors won't fade
一个人辗转反侧
Tossing and turning all alone
这结局多欢乐
How joyful this ending is
没妳的空床一点都 不 寂寞
An empty bed without you is not lonely at all,
最好是我们都忘了
It’s best if we both forget,
最好是我们不记得
It’s best if we remember nothing,
嘘寒问暖中藏著 生疏的温柔
In the warmth of caring lies a strange tenderness,
听了我多不舍
Hearing it, I can't help but feel sad,
最好是我们都忘了
It’s best if we both forget,
最好是我们都不记得
It’s best if we remember nothing,
钢琴键还跳动著 黑白的余温
The piano keys still pulse with lingering warmth of black and white,
残留著妳的指纹 又如何
What does it matter if your fingerprints remain,
最好是昨天都忘了
It’s best if we forget all about yesterday.
最好是明天都不记得
It's best if tomorrow is forgotten entirely.
平行时空重叠了 却没交集了
Parallel worlds have overlapped, yet there's no intersection.
我还能做什么
What more can I do?
也许是妳真的忘了
Maybe you truly have forgotten.
也许是我记性太好了
Maybe my memory is just too sharp.
该说的我说完了 听听就算了
I've said what I needed to say, just listening is enough.
关上灯该睡了 晚安了
Turn off the lights, it's time to sleep, goodnight.
