我们之间没有延伸的关系
There's no extended relationship between us
没有相互占有的权利
No rights to possess each other
只在黎明混着夜色时
Only in the dawn mixed with the night
才有浅浅重叠的片刻
Do we have those fleeting overlapping moments
白天和黑夜只交替没交换
Day and night alternate but never exchange
无法想像对方的世界
Unable to imagine each other's worlds
我们仍坚持各自等在原地
We still insist on waiting in our spots
把彼此站成两个世界
Making us two worlds standing apart
你永远不懂我伤悲
You will never understand my sorrow
像白天不懂夜的黑
Just like day cannot comprehend the darkness of night
像永恒燃烧的太阳
Like an eternal sun that burns bright
不懂那月亮的盈缺
Not understanding the moon's phases, its changes
你永远不懂我伤悲
You'll never know the depths of my sorrow
像白天不懂夜的黑
Like the day that can't grasp the night's dark
不懂那星星为何会坠跌
Not knowing why the stars fall from the sky
白天和黑夜只交替没交换
Day and night just cycle, never exchanging
无法想像对方的世界
Unable to envision each other's worlds
我们仍坚持各自等在原地
We still hold our ground, waiting at our places
把彼此站成两个世界
Making us two worlds standing apart
你永远不懂我伤悲
You'll never know the depths of my sorrow
像白天不懂夜的黑
Like the day doesn't understand the night's darkness
像永恒燃烧的太阳
Like the eternally burning sun
不懂那月亮的盈缺
Unaware of the moon's phases
你永远不懂我伤悲
You'll never understand my sorrow
像白天不懂夜的黑
Like the day doesn't understand the night's darkness
不懂那星星为何会坠跌
Unaware of why the stars fall
你永远不懂我伤悲
You'll never understand my sorrow
像白天不懂夜的黑
Like the day doesn't understand the night's darkness
像永恒燃烧的太阳
Like the eternally burning sun
不懂那月亮的盈缺
Unaware of the moon's phases
你永远不懂我伤悲
You will never understand my sorrow
像白天不懂夜的黑
Like the day cannot grasp the night's darkness
不懂那星星为何会坠跌
Not knowing why the stars fall from grace
不懂我伤悲
Not understanding my sorrow
就好像白天不懂夜的黑
It's just like the day cannot grasp the night's darkness
