昏天又暗地 忍不住的流星
In the dim sky, a meteor can't help but weep,
躺不下被隐藏一颗死心
Lying down can't hide a heart that's grown cold,
苦苦的追寻 茫茫然失去
In a bitter search, lost in the vast unknown,
可爱的可恨的多可惜
So cute and so hateable, what a pity,
梦中的梦中 梦中人的梦中
In a dream within a dream, in the dreamer's dream,
梦不到被吹散 往事如风
Things that can't be dreamed are swept away, just like the past,
空空的天空 容不下笑容
An empty sky can’t hold a single smile,
伤神的伤人的太伤心
Heart-wrenching, hurtful, too much to bear,
何必想何必问何处是我家
Why bother thinking, why ask where is my home,
爱也罢恨也罢算了吧
Love or hate, let's just let it go,
问天涯 忘断了天涯
Asking the ends of the earth, lost from the ends of the earth
赢得了天下输了她
Won the world but lost her
挥别的种种 挥不去的种种
Waving goodbye to all sorts, yet can't shake off the kinds
挥不掉被淹没一往情深
Can't wash away the deep love that drowned me
忍已无可忍 恨不得别人
Endurance has reached its limit, wishing ill upon others
害人的迷人的痴情人
The charming, harmful lover who ensnares
也挣扎也牵挂也不是办法
Struggling and worrying, but it doesn’t solve anything
走也罢留也罢错了吗
Leave or stay, was it wrong?
今天涯 明天又天涯
Today it's the ends of the earth, tomorrow again the same
狠狠一巴掌忘了吧
With a fierce slap, forget it all
昏天又暗地 忍不住的流星
In the dim and shadowy night, the unstoppable shooting star.
躺不下被隐藏一颗死心
Lying down is impossible, hiding a heart turned to stone.
苦苦的追寻 茫茫然失去
In a painful pursuit, lost in the haze.
可爱的可恨的多可惜
So lovely yet so hateful, what a pity.
梦中的梦中 梦中人的梦中
In the dream of a dream, dreaming of someone in their dream.
梦不到被吹散往事如风
Can't dream of the past, scattered like the wind.
空空的天空 容不下笑容
An empty sky cannot hold a smile.
伤神的伤人的太伤心
Wounded hearts, too hurt, are too sorrowful.
何必想何必问何处是我家
Why think, why ask, where is my home?
爱也罢恨也罢算了吧
Love or hate, let's just let it be.
问天涯 忘断了天涯
Questioning the horizon, severing ties with the horizon
赢得了天下输了她
Won the world, but lost her
挥别的种种 挥不去的种种
Waving goodbye to the various, yet not letting go of the myriad
挥不掉被淹没一往情深
Cannot shake off being drowned in profound love
忍已无可忍 恨不得别人
Endurance has reached its limit, wishing ill upon others
害人的迷人的痴情人
The charming, hurtful lover
也挣扎也牵挂也不是办法
Struggling and worrying is no solution at all
走也罢留也罢错了吗
Whether to leave or to stay, was it wrong?
今天涯 明天又天涯
Today’s horizon becomes tomorrow’s horizon
狠狠一巴掌忘了吧
A sharp slap, forget it all
梦中的梦中 梦中人的梦中
A dream within a dream, in the dreamer's dream,
梦不到被吹散往事如风
Unable to dream of the past, scattered like the wind,
空空的天空 容不下笑容
An empty sky can't hold a smile,
伤神的伤人的太伤心
Wounds that hurt the spirit, too painful to bear,
何必想何必问何处是我家
Why bother thinking, why ask where my home is,
爱也罢恨也罢算了吧
Love or hate, let's just let it go,
问天涯 忘断了天涯
Question the horizon, but I've lost the horizon,
赢得了天下输了她
Gained the world, but lost her,
Ah
昏天又暗地 忍不住的流星
In a darkened sky, a shooting star can't help but flow.
躺不下被隐藏一颗死心
Lying down concealed, a heart grown cold,
苦苦的追寻 茫茫然失去
Desperately seeking, lost in the haze,
可爱的可恨的多可惜
So adorable, yet so detestable, what a pity,
梦中的梦中 梦中人的梦中
In the dream of a dream, in the dreamer's dream,
梦不到被吹散 往事如风
Dreams scattered by the wind, past events like a breeze,
空空的天空 容不下笑容
An empty sky, unable to hold a smile,
伤神的伤人的太伤心
Haunting pains that hurt too deeply,
挥别的种种 挥不去的种种
Goodbyes of all kinds, but some won't fade away,
挥不掉被淹没 一往情深
Can't shake off the depths of love, drowned in longing,
忍已无可忍 恨不得别人
Endurance has reached its limit, wishing for others' woes.
害人的迷人的痴情人
The enchanting lover who brings harm
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
