忍不住化身一条固执的鱼
I can't help but turn into a stubborn fish
逆著洋流独自游到底
Swimming against the current all alone till the end
年少时候虔诚发过的誓
The vows I made in my youth with such sincerity
沉默地沉没在深海里
Silently sinking into the deep sea
重温几次 结局还是 失去你
Revisiting a few times, the outcome remains losing you
我被爱判处终身孤寂
I've been sentenced to a life of solitude by love
不还手 不放手
Not fighting back, not letting go
笔下画不完的圆
An endless circle my pen cannot complete
心间填不满的缘 是你
The bond my heart cannot fill is you
为何爱判处众生孤寂
Why is love sentencing all beings to solitude?
挣不脱 逃不过
Unable to escape, can't break free
眉头解不开的结
The knot in my brow remains tied tight
命中解不开的劫 是你
The fate I can't untangle is you
啊 失去你
Ah, losing you
啊 我失去你
Ah, I've lost you
忍不住化身一条固执的鱼
Can't help but turn into a stubborn fish
逆著洋流独自游到底
Swimming against the current all alone till the end
年少时候虔诚发过的誓
The vow I made sincerely in my youth
沉默地沉没在深海里
Silently sinking into the deep sea
周而复始 结局还是 失去你
Time goes round and round, the ending remains losing you
我被爱判处终身孤寂
I am sentenced to lifelong solitude by love
不还手 不放手
Not fighting back, not letting go
笔下画不完的圆
Infinite circles that can't be drawn with a pen
心间填不满的缘 是你
A fate in my heart that can't be filled, it's you
为何爱判处众生孤寂
Why does love condemn all beings to loneliness?
挣不脱 逃不过
Can't break free, can't escape
眉头解不开的结
A knot in my brow that won't untie
命中解不开的劫 是你
A calamity in my life that cannot be resolved, it's you
啊 失去你
Ah, losing you
啊 我失去你
Ah, I lost you
