都市里的诱惑太多
The temptations in the city are far too many,
总有难免脆弱的时候
There are always moments when we lose our strength.
也哭也笑也曾温柔
We’ve cried and laughed, once known tenderness,
谁又能爱谁最久
Who can truly love the longest?
爱总是没有把握
Love is always beyond our grasp.
能燃烧到最后
Can it burn brightly till the very end?
也收留了更多寂寞
Yet it has sheltered more loneliness,
善变的人 善变的心 在乎什么
Fickle hearts, fickle souls, what do they care for?
善变的夜 善变的梦 是否不怕有错
Fickle nights, fickle dreams, do they fear being wrong?
善变的人 善变的心 追求什么
Fickle hearts, fickle souls, what do they pursue?
善变的夜 善变的梦 总是难以捉摸
The fickle night, the fleeting dream, always so hard to grasp
都市里的诱惑太多
The temptations of the city are far too many
总有难免脆弱的时候
There are times when we can't help but feel fragile
也哭也笑也曾温柔
Crying and laughing, we've known tenderness too
谁又能爱谁最久
Who can truly love anyone the longest?
爱总是没有把握
Love always seems so uncertain
能燃烧到最后
Can it burn bright until the end?
也收留了更多寂寞
And shelters even more loneliness
善变的人 善变的心 在乎什么
Fickle person, changing heart, what do you truly care for?
善变的夜 善变的梦 是否不怕有错
The fickle night, the fleeting dream, are you afraid of being wrong?
善变的人 善变的心 追求什么
A fickle person, a fickle heart, what do they chase?
善变的夜 善变的梦 总是难以捉摸
A capricious night, a fleeting dream, always hard to grasp.
善变的人 善变的心 在乎什么
A changeable soul, a restless heart, what do they care for?
善变的夜 善变的梦 是否不怕有错
In a fickle night, a changing dream, are they unafraid to be wrong?
善变的人 善变的心 追求什么
A fickle person, a fickle heart, what do they chase?
善变的夜 善变的梦 总是难以捉摸
A capricious night, a fleeting dream, always hard to grasp.
