(男)为何思想昨天 仍然心中眷恋
Why do I linger on yesterday, with my heart still yearning?
时候换过了 但情未了 仍似永远未完
Time has changed, but feelings linger on, still as if forever unfinished.
(合)为何跟你结识 如苦苦的压迫
Why did we meet, like a bitter oppression?
曾热烈爱过 亦平淡过 长途有你共我
Once we loved with passion, then quietly too, a long journey with me and you.
(男)但我相信 爱是燃尽所有
But I believe love burns through everything
就算今生不可永久
Even if this life can't last forever
(合)若你需要 我愿陪在咫尺
If you need me, I’m willing to stay by your side.
(男)但我知道情缘尽了
But I know that our love has come to an end.
(女)从未信相恋到白头
Never believed in love that lasts till old age.
没有永远的伴侣
There are no eternal partners
(合)若爱要牺牲 也要甘心
(Both) If love requires sacrifice, let it be willingly
无人能妄说自由
No one can carelessly speak of freedom
(男)为何思想昨天 (女)相信可永久
(Male) Why dwell on yesterday? (Female) Believing it can last forever
(男)仍然在心中眷恋 (女)只有情义
(Male) Still cherishing it in my heart (Female) Only the bonds of love
(男)曾浪漫爱过 也有风波
(Male) Once loved romantically, weathered storms too
(男)长途有你共我 (女)长留你我心窝
(Male) Long journeys with you and me (Female) Always keeping you in my heart
(男)没有 (女)没有
(Male) Not at all (Female) Not at all
(男)亏欠 (女)相欠
(Male) Owes a debt (Female) We’re indebted to each other
(合)爱是原谅宽恕
(Both) Love is about forgiveness and grace
(男)就算所爱不可结果 (女)永不说为何当初
(Male) Even if love cannot bear fruit, (Female) never asking why it was at first.
(男)愿我所爱 (女)但我所爱
(Male) I wish for my love, (Female) but it's the love I hold.
(男)如梦想中所爱 (女)却己不再似梦里所爱对待我
(Male) Like the love in dreams, (Female) yet you no longer treat me as in those dreams.
(男)或许你心从未属我
(Male) Perhaps your heart never belonged to me.
(合)茫茫心境似水 柔情不可再追
(Together) In this vast heartscape like water, tender feelings can't be chased again.
时候换过了 热情未退 谁是最爱伴侣
Time has changed, passion remains, who is the cherished partner?
你的心可会知 我的心未可制止
Can your heart know, my heart can't help but yearn?
沉默地叹气 未忘掉你 却一生都想你
Silently sighing, unable to forget you, yet a lifetime of longing for you.
(女)无论在那里 愿仍可以 会一生记念你
(Female) No matter where you are, I wish to always remember you.
(男)无论在那里
(Male) No matter where you are.
(合)愿仍可以 会一生挂念你
I hope I can cherish you all my life.
