喜欢跳飞机的你始终安好 从未长高
You who love to jump on planes is always well, never grew tall
摸不到身影偏却看得到
Can’t touch your shadow, yet I can still see it
对雨漫谈 背我跑步
Talking about the rain, you run away behind my back
如蔓草 给我铺 往日那 烂泥路
Like creeping vines, you lay out for me the muddy paths of the past
彷有若无 一灯如雾
It’s almost there yet feels like nothing, one light like mist
你终于来到 我终于望到 雨中的蝶舞
You finally arrived, I finally witnessed the dance of butterflies in the rain
在梦里我得几岁
In my dreams, how old am I now?
光景都因我倒退
All the scenery retreats because of me
当天将你丢低的小手帕拾去
That day, I picked up the small handkerchief you dropped
满脸已因你害羞到下垂
My face has turned shy, drooping because of you
就像永远得几岁
Just like forever, how old do we become?
早失踪的你跟我来游玩故居
You who disappeared early, come with me to explore our old home.
为何梦里要美满的荒诞
Why must dreams be absurdly perfect?
那手帕 我紧握手里
That handkerchief, I hold it tightly in my hand.
想不到可触摸到你小手的 陈旧伤疤
Who would have thought I could touch the old scars on your little hand?
听得到飘忽声线似风沙
I can hear the drifting whispers like the wind and sand.
说了未曾 说过的话
Words I've never said, yet have always been spoken.
宁静海 将被铺 变浪花 真似假
The calm sea will change to waves, as if real, as if fake.
一刹梦回 一室留下
In a fleeting dream, a room is left behind.
错过了的木马 碰到了即融化 我快要苏醒吗
The missed wooden horse, when touched, melts away; am I about to awaken?
睡在过去的堡垒
Sleeping in the fortress of the past
可惜今天你几岁
What a pity, how old are you today?
即使跟你真实地活着能面对
Even if living truly with you, I can face
我亦怕不再认得你是谁
I'm still afraid I won’t recognize who you are
就活到我的心里
Let's live deep in my heart
不清醒不会失去 神游在太虚
Not awake, won't lose, drifting in the void
为何梦到了眼角的泪痕
Why did I dream of the teardrops in the corner of my eyes?
抹不去 记忆的飞絮
Cannot erase the drifting memories
乍醒只可诈装
Waking up only to feign
睡在过去的堡垒
Sleeping in the fortress of the past
可惜今天你几岁
What a pity, how old are you today?
即使跟你真实地活着能面对
Even if living truly with you, I can face it,
我亦怕不再认得你是谁
I still fear I won’t recognize who you are.
就活到我的心里
Just live on in my heart.
不清醒不会失去 神游在太虚
In this haze, I won’t lose, wandering through the void.
为何梦到了眼角的泪痕
Why dream of the tear stains at the corners of my eyes?
抹不去 暗恋的根据
Cannot erase the evidence of this secret love.
