流动的蔚蓝
The flowing azure blue
分了一半
Divided in half
城的两端
At both ends of the city
白云好淡
The white clouds are so faint
河的左岸
On the left bank of the river
已回暖
Is already warming up
当季节偷偷交接
When the seasons sneakily change hands
任大街曲曲折折的重叠
Letting the winding streets overlap
也转不回昨天
Still can’t turn back to yesterday
阳光灿烂
The sunshine is radiant
但是黯蓝
But in the deep blue
在弥漫
It is spreading
时间的彼岸
On the other side of time
我们对看
We gaze at each other
被冲散
Scattered apart
当思念慢慢分裂
As longing slowly fractures
当世界依然绕回你的脸
While the world still circles back to your face
没有改变
Unchanged
我只有预感没答案
I only have a premonition, no answers
不管我们习不习惯
No matter if we get used to it or not
那些片段都不算
Those fragments don't count
可能往右转或左转
Could turn to the right or to the left
不管我们喜不喜欢
No matter if we like it or not
故事最后还不是都一样
In the end, the story's all the same
阳光灿烂
The sunshine is bright
但是黯蓝
Yet it's shadowed in blue
在弥漫
As it lingers
时间的彼岸
On the other side of time
我们对看
We share a gaze
被冲散
Only to be swept away
当思念慢慢分裂
When longing slowly splits apart
当世界依然绕回你的脸
As the world still revolves around your face
没有改变
Nothing has changed
我只有预感没答案
I only have a feeling, no answers
不管我们习不习惯
No matter if we adapt or not
那些片段都不算
Those fragments don't really count
可能往右转或左转
Could turn right or could turn left
不管我们喜不喜欢
No matter if we like it or not
故事最后还不是都一样
In the end, the story is still the same
我只有预感没答案
I only have a feeling, no answers
不管我们习不习惯
No matter if we're used to it or not,
那些好感都不算
Those feelings don’t count,
可能往右转或左转
We might turn right or left,
不管我们喜不喜欢
No matter if we like it or not,
会犯的错还不是都一样
The mistakes we make are still all the same.
