左思右想
Thinking left and right
词: Michael 曲: GaryChaseNathanWang
Lyrics: Michael, Music: GaryChaseNathanWang
像河流恋着海洋爱着你
Like rivers in love with the ocean, loving you
我好想变成小船划向你
Oh, how I wish to become a small boat rowing towards you
你的心隔着海洋看不清
Your heart is obscured by the ocean, hard to see
会不会相隔两地太久变成陌生人
Will being apart for too long turn us into strangers?
我的泪弯弯曲曲流成河
My tears, winding and winding, flow into a river
我只能站在岸边没主张
I can only stand on the shore with no stand
左思右想 思量又思量
Thinking left and right, pondering and reflecting
爱你爱得好忙 回忆点点滴滴
Loving you keeps me so busy, remembering every little thing
徘荡我心房 苦苦纠缠
Wandering in my heart, entangled with pain,
左思右想 衡量又衡量
Thinking left and right, weighing it again and again.
爱要多少才好 不知未来多长
How much love is enough, unsure how long the future runs,
你又怎么想 梦在对岸不愿放
What do you think? Dreams across the river, unwilling to let go.
像河流恋着海洋爱着你
Like a river in love with the ocean, loving you,
我好想变成小船划向你
I really want to become a little boat, paddling towards you.
你的心隔着海洋看不清
Your heart, separated by the ocean, remains unclear.
会不会相隔两地太久变成陌生人
Could it be that if we are apart for too long, we turn into strangers?
我的泪弯弯曲曲流成河
My tears flow, winding and curving into a river,
我只能站在岸边没主张
I can only stand by the shore, without resolution.
左思右想 思量又思量
Thinking left and right, I ponder again and again,
爱你爱得好忙 回忆点点滴滴
Loving you keeps me so busy, memories in little drops,
徘荡我心房 苦苦纠缠
Wandering in my heart, entangled in pain,
左思右想 衡量又衡量
Thinking left and right, weighing it all once more,
爱要多少才好 不知未来多长
How much love is enough? I don't know how long the future lasts,
你又怎么想 梦在对岸不愿放
What do you think? Dreams on the other shore, unwilling to let go,
左思又右想 忘了天亮
Thinking left and right, I forgot the dawn,
爱让我勇敢 想念你让我坚强
Love makes me brave, missing you makes me strong,
左思右想 思量又思量
Thinking left and right, I ponder again and again,
爱你爱得好忙 回忆点点滴滴
Loving you keeps me so busy, memories in little drops,
徘荡我心房 苦苦纠缠
Wandering in my heart, tangled in pain,
左思右想 衡量又衡量
Thinking left and right, weighing it again and again.
爱要多少才好 不知未来多长
How much love is enough? Uncertain about the length of tomorrow,
你又怎么想 梦在对岸不愿放
What do you think? Dreams on the shore, unwilling to let go.
左思右想 思量又思量
Thinking left and right, pondering it once more,
爱你爱得好忙 回忆点点滴滴
Loving you keeps me so busy, memories drop by drop.
徘荡我心房 苦苦纠缠
Wandering in my heart, tangled in pain,
左思右想 衡量又衡量
Thinking left and right, weighing it again and again.
爱要多少才好 不知未来多长
How much love is enough? Uncertain about the length of tomorrow.
