如今是我 痴人在说梦
Now it's me, a fool, speaking dreams
那都是我 作了太多梦
That all was me, dreaming too many dreams
回忆是我 所有过的最美丽的痛
Memories are my most beautiful pain of all
但青春 是河流
But youth is like a flowing river
你还爱我 梦是这时候
You still love me, dreams come at this moment
你爱过我 爱是旧时候
You loved me, love was from the old days
你还是我 在清醒时不愿醒的梦
You are still me, unwilling to wake from the dream while awake
但思念 已寒冬
But longing has turned to winter's chill
时间将恨全部都带走
Time takes away all hate
就带不走无心犯的错
Yet it can't erase the unintentional mistakes
伤是永不见底 填不满的洞
Wounds that never reach the bottom, an unfillable void,
时间将恨全部都带走
Time takes all the hatred away,
就带不走无心犯的错
But it can't erase the careless mistakes,
那些永不见底 填不满的洞
Those endless pits that stay unfilled,
是折磨
Are tormenting.
