也不知在黑暗中究竟沉睡了多久
Not knowing how long I've been asleep in the dark,
也不知要有多难才能睁开双眼
Not knowing how hard it will be to open my eyes.
我从远方赶来恰巧你们也在
I rushed from afar, and coincidentally, you were here, too.
痴迷流连人间我为她而狂野
Obsession lingers in this world; I go wild for her.
我是这耀眼的瞬间
I am this dazzling moment,
是划过天边的刹那火焰
A fleeting flame that streaks across the sky.
我为你来看我不顾一切
I came to see you, disregarding everything else.
我将熄灭永不能再回来
I will extinguish, never able to return.
我在这里啊 就在这里啊
I am here, yes, right here,
惊鸿一般短暂 象夏花一样绚烂
As short-lived as a startling swan, as splendid as summer flowers.
这是一个多美丽又遗憾的世界
What a beautiful yet regretful world this is,
我们就这样抱著笑著还流著泪
We hold each other, smiling while shedding tears,
我从远方赶来赴你一面之约
I rushed from afar to meet you for this moment,
痴迷流连人间我为她而狂野
Obsessed and lingering in this realm, I go wild for her,
我是这耀眼的瞬间
I am this dazzling instant,
是划过天边的刹那火焰
Like the fleeting flame that cuts across the sky,
我为你来看我不顾一切
I came for you, disregarding everything,
我将熄灭永不能再回来
I will extinguish, never to return,
我在这里啊 就在这里啊
I am here, oh, right here,
惊鸿一般短暂 象夏花一样绚烂
Brief like a startled swan, brilliant like summer blooms.
我是这耀眼的瞬间
I am this dazzling moment
是划过天边的刹那火焰
A fleeting flame that crosses the sky
我为你来看我不顾一切
I came for you, disregarding everything
我将熄灭永不能再回来
I will extinguish, never to return
不虚此行啊 不虚此行啊
This journey is not in vain, oh, not in vain
惊鸿一般短暂 开放在你眼前
Like a startled swan, so brief, blooming before your eyes
我是这耀眼的瞬间
I am this dazzling moment
是划过天边的刹那火焰
A fleeting flame that crosses the sky
我为你来看我不顾一切
I came for you, disregarding everything
我将熄灭永不能再回来
I will extinguish, never to return
一路春光啊 一路荆棘啊
A journey of springtime, ah, a path of thorns, ah
惊鸿一般短暂 象夏花一样绚烂
As fleeting as a startled swan, dazzling like summer's bloom
这是一个不能停留太久的世界
This is a world where we cannot linger for too long
