这时天空要下雨 我们笑得很勉强
The sky is about to rain, our smiles are forced.
无言以对的路上 没有太多惆怅
On this silent road, there's not much sorrow.
像是最后的游荡 把淋湿的风欣赏 遗忘最初的信仰 看清你的模样
Like a final wander, admiring the drenched wind, forgetting our original faith, seeing your true self.
爱就爱 不要逞强 不过是 美梦一场
Love is love, don't pretend to be strong, it's just a beautiful dream.
太多的星光都和你分享 给自己留一个晚上
So many stars are shared with you, leaving a night for myself.
没有爱 又会怎样 谁都要 孤独收场
Without love, what will happen? Everyone must end up lonely.
我最后一次站在你的身旁 藏起天使的翅膀
One last time I stand by your side, hiding the angel's wings.
我不是你的天使 我不懂你的天堂 当月光变成你的目光 我不看你的过往
I'm not your angel, I don't understand your paradise. When the moonlight turns into your gaze, I don't look at your past.
这时天空要下雨 我们笑得很勉强
The sky is about to rain, our smiles are forced.
无言以对的路上 没有太多惆怅
On this silent road, there's not much sorrow.
像是最后的游荡 把淋湿的风欣赏 遗忘最初的信仰 看清你的模样
Like the final wandering, I enjoy the wet breeze, forgetting the faith of the beginning, seeing clearly your form.
爱就爱 不要逞强 不过是 美梦一场
Love is love, no need to pretend, it’s just a beautiful dream.
太多的星光都和你分享 给自己留一个晚上
Too many starlights to share with you, leaving a night for myself.
没有爱 又会怎样 谁都要 孤独收场
Without love, what would happen? Everyone ends up in lonely farewells.
我最后一次站在你的身旁 藏起天使的翅膀
This is my last time standing by your side, hiding away the angel's wings.
我不是你的天使 我不懂你的天堂 当月光变成你的目光 我不看你的过往
I am not your angel, I don’t understand your paradise, when the moonlight turns into your gaze, I no longer look at your past.
我不是你的天使 也不懂你的天堂 当月光变成你的目光 我不看你的过往
I am not your angel, nor do I know your paradise, when the moonlight becomes your gaze, I don't see your past.
