乌溜溜的黑眼珠 和你的笑脸
Your dark, glistening eyes and your smiling face,
怎么也难忘记你 容颜的转变
I find it hard to forget the changes in your visage.
轻飘飘的旧时光 就这么溜走
The light and fleeting old times just slip away,
转头回去看看时 已匆匆数年
Turning back to look, years have already rushed by.
苍茫茫的天涯路 是你的飘泊
On the vast and desolate road, you wander far and wide,
寻寻觅觅长相守 是我的脚步
Searching endlessly for a lasting bond, that’s my stride.
黑漆漆的孤枕边 是你的温柔
Beside the dark and lonely pillow, lies your tender warmth,
醒来时的清晨里 是我的哀愁
In the awakenings of morning, rests my deep sorrow.
或许明日太阳西下倦鸟已归时
Perhaps tomorrow, when the sun sets and the weary birds return,
你将已经踏上旧时的归途
You will have already embarked on your journey back home.
人生难得再次寻觅相知的伴侣
In life, it's rare to find a kindred spirit once more.
生命终究难舍蓝蓝的白云天
Ultimately, it's hard to part with the blue sky and white clouds.
轰隆隆的雷雨声 在我的窗前
The rumbling of thunderstorm echoes outside my window.
怎么也难忘记你 离去的转变
No matter what, I can't forget the change when you left.
孤单单的身影后 寂寥的心情
Behind the lonely figure, a heart full of solitude remains.
永远无怨的是我的双眼
My eyes forever harbor no regrets.
苍茫茫的天涯路 是你的飘泊
On the vast and endless road, it's your wandering path.
寻寻觅觅长相守 是我的脚步
In search of a lasting companionship, that's my journey.
黑漆漆的孤枕边 是你的温柔
By the darkened lonely pillow, your tenderness lingers.
醒来时的清晨里 是我的哀愁
In the morning when I wake, my sorrow unfolds.
或许明日太阳西下倦鸟已归时
Perhaps tomorrow when the sun sets, the weary birds will return home
你将已经踏上旧时的归途
You will have already set foot on the old path home
人生难得再次寻觅相知的伴侣
Life rarely offers a chance to seek a companion once more
生命终究难舍蓝蓝的白云天
In the end, it's hard to part with the blue sky and white clouds
轰隆隆的雷雨声 在我的窗前
The rumbling sound of thunderstorm is right outside my window
怎么也难忘记你 离去的转变
No matter what, I can't forget you and the changes that followed your departure
孤单单的身影后 寂寥的心情
Behind the lonely figure lies a heart full of solitude
永远无怨的是我的双眼
Forever uncomplaining are my eyes
永远无怨的是我的双眼
Forever uncomplaining are my eyes
