  1. 不知黑暗究竟沉睡多久

    Not knowing how long I've been asleep in the dark,

  2. 不知要有才能睁开双眼

    Not knowing how hard it will be to open my eyes.

  3. 远方赶来恰巧你们也在

    I rushed from afar, and coincidentally, you were here, too.

  4. 痴迷人间狂野

    Obsession lingers in this world; I go wild for her.

  5. 我是耀眼瞬间

    I am this dazzling moment,

  6. 天边刹那火焰

    A fleeting flame that streaks across the sky.

  7. 来看不顾一切

    I came to see you, disregarding everything else.

  8. 熄灭不能再回来

    I will extinguish, never able to return.

  9. 我在这里 就在这里

    I am here, yes, right here,

  10. 惊鸿一般短暂 一样

    As short-lived as a startling swan, as splendid as summer flowers.

  11. 一个美丽遗憾世界

    What a beautiful yet regretful world this is,

  12. 我们这样抱著笑著流著

    We hold each other, smiling while shedding tears,

  13. 远方赶来一面

    I rushed from afar to meet you for this moment,

  14. 痴迷人间狂野

    Obsessed and lingering in this realm, I go wild for her,

  15. 我是耀眼瞬间

    I am this dazzling instant,

  16. 天边刹那火焰

    Like the fleeting flame that cuts across the sky,

  17. 来看不顾一切

    I came for you, disregarding everything,

  18. 熄灭不能再回来

    I will extinguish, never to return,

  19. 我在这里 就在这里

    I am here, oh, right here,

  20. 惊鸿一般短暂 一样

    Brief like a startled swan, brilliant like summer blooms.

  21. 我是耀眼瞬间

    I am this dazzling moment

  22. 天边刹那火焰

    A fleeting flame that crosses the sky

  23. 来看不顾一切

    I came for you, disregarding everything

  24. 熄灭不能再回来

    I will extinguish, never to return

  25. 不虚此行 不虚此行

    This journey is not in vain, oh, not in vain

  26. 惊鸿一般短暂 开放眼前

    Like a startled swan, so brief, blooming before your eyes

  27. 我是耀眼瞬间

    I am this dazzling moment

  28. 天边刹那火焰

    A fleeting flame that crosses the sky

  29. 来看不顾一切

    I came for you, disregarding everything

  30. 熄灭不能再回来

    I will extinguish, never to return

  31. 一路春光 一路荆棘

    A journey of springtime, ah, a path of thorns, ah

  32. 惊鸿一般短暂 一样

    As fleeting as a startled swan, dazzling like summer's bloom

  33. 一个不能停留世界

    This is a world where we cannot linger for too long
