Always Friends
记得当时蓝色的天
Remember those skies of blue back then
我们永远活在春天
We will forever live in springtime
一起跟青春相恋
Let's fall in love with youth together.
背叛许多无聊诺言
Betraying many dull promises
拉开了时间的窗帘
Draw back the curtains of time
你在我回忆里留言
You left a message in my memories
怀念倒不如相见
It's better to meet than to just reminisce.
你的眼睛是否晴天
Are your eyes as clear as a sunny day?
曾经多少眼泪路过我们的笑脸
How many tears have passed by our smiling faces?
曾经多少缘分滑过我们的指尖
How many fates have slipped through our fingers?
曾经多少咖啡征服我们的失眠
How many coffees conquered our sleepless nights?
人生到底有没有改变
Has life truly changed at all?
你的呼吸我能听见
I can hear your breath so near.
Always friends Closest friends
Oldest friends Best friends
谁预见 会遇见 我们会投缘
Who could foresee this encounter, how we hit it off?
无条件 无期限 这关系多悬
Unconditional, limitless, this bond hangs so tenuously.
再善变 再蜕变 都不变 Always friends
No matter how much we change or evolve, we're still Always friends.
你掌心中的生命线
The lifeline in the palm of your hand.
经历过怎样的流年
What kind of fleeting years have we endured
留下了什么标点
What punctuation has been left behind
证明往事并不如烟
Proving that the past is not just smoke
回到了快乐一瞬间
Returning to a moment of pure joy
照片中自由的画面
Scenes of freedom captured in photos
雨点总是那么甜
Raindrops are always so sweet
也许从前只能怀念
Perhaps in the past, we could only reminisce
Always friends Closest friends
Oldest friends Best friends
谁预见 会遇见 我们会投缘
Who foresaw that we would meet and click so well
无条件 无期限 这关系多悬
Unconditional, no deadlines, this relationship is so precarious,
再善变 再蜕变 都不变 Always friends
No matter how much we change, or transform, we still remain Always friends.
多少梦想落入地平线
How many dreams have fallen beyond the horizon?
才发现脆弱的心灵比身体疲倦
Only to find that a fragile heart tires more than the body.
你的一言一语就像一张明信片
Every word you say is like a postcard.
一点温暖 一起分享 回到单纯的原点
A little warmth, we share it together, returning to the purest starting point.
Always friends Closest friends
Oldest friends Best friends
谁预见 会遇见 我们会 投缘
Who could foresee that we would meet, and find a connection,
无条件 无期限 这关系 多悬
Unconditional, no deadlines, this relationship is so precarious.
再善变 再蜕变 都不变 Always friends
Ever changing, ever evolving, yet always friends
Always friends Closest friends
Oldest friends Best friends
谁预见 会遇见 我们会 投缘
Who could foresee, we'd meet and click so easily
无条件 无期限 这关系 多悬
Unconditional, timeless, this bond is quite a treasure
再善变 再蜕变 都不变 Always friends
Ever changing, ever evolving, yet always friends
