Hey, 到底要多少时间
Hey, how much time does it take
才能真的互相了解
To truly understand each other?
Oh Hey, 到底要多少思念
Oh Hey, how much longing is needed
才能抓住你的视线
To catch your gaze?
Hey, 我就在你的身边
Hey, I am right by your side,
却又隔一光年
Yet it's a lightyear away.
究竟只差一瞬间或永远
Is it just a moment apart or an eternity?
爱是两个人的原野
Love is a field for two,
可我一个人狩猎
But I'm hunting all alone.
什么过眼
What is fleeting?
在你再消失以前
Before you disappear once more
你给我多少时间
How much time will you give me?
Hey, 爱就在你的身边
Hey, love is right beside you
可是你看不见
But you can't see it
究竟要走到海角或天边
How far must we reach, to the ends of the sea or sky
才是两个人的终点
Before it becomes our endpoint
可我一个人搁浅
Yet here I am, stranded alone
什么云烟
What are the clouds and mist?
我给你一场爱恋
I give you a love affair
你到底给我多少时间 Hey
How much time will you really give me? Hey
Hey, 到底要多少时间
Hey, how much time do we need?
才能真的互相了解
Before we truly understand each other.
Oh Hey, 到底要多少思念
Oh Hey, how much longing must there be?
才能抓住你的视线
To finally catch your gaze.
Hey, 我就在你的身边
Hey, I'm right by your side,
却又隔一光年
Yet separated by a light year.
究竟只差一瞬间或永远
Is it just a moment or an eternity?
爱是两个人的原野
Love is a wilderness for two,
可我一个人狩猎
But I'm hunting all alone.
什么过眼
What passes by in a blink?
在你再消失以前
Before you vanish once more
你给我多少时间
How much time can you give me
Hey, 爱就在你的身边
Hey, love is right beside you
可是你看不见
But you can't see it
究竟要走到海角或天边
Do we really need to reach the ends of the earth or sky
才是两个人的终点
For us to find our destination
可我一个人搁浅
But I'm stranded all alone
什么云烟
What fleeting moments
我给你一场爱恋
I offer you a love affair
你到底给我多少时间 Hey
How much time do you truly give me, Hey
