沙堡垒 lyrics with English translation

曲: 黄丹仪词: 乔靖夫编: 舒文

Music: Huang Danyi Lyrics: Qiao Jingfu Arrangement: Shu Wen

漫长夏季无声告去

The long summer quietly bids farewell

影像记忆却伴随

Memories in images linger on

海边与他

By the sea with him

愉快的似孩童闹笑

Joyful like a child’s laughter and play

去用细沙建军起堡垒

Go build a fortress with fine sand

为何无法让美景暂停

Why can't I make this beautiful scene pause?

为何无法避免掉眼泪

Why can't I avoid the tears?

曾共有的快乐 纯真的感觉

The joy we once shared, a feeling so pure

瞬间竟冲散于人潮里

In an instant, we were swept away in the crowd.

放手的一刹 海都哭了

In the moment of letting go, even the sea weeps,

回荡潮浪声当中告吹

The sound of crashing waves echoes as it fades away.

那天不知道

That day, I had no idea

多么坚固壮丽的

How solid and magnificent it was—

原来是个沙造的堡垒

Only to find it was a fortress made of sand.

秋季海宾潮远去

As autumn's tide recedes,

只剩我足印伴随

I'm left with only my footprints by my side.

沙滩里捡各色

Collecting various colors

贝壳和石块

Of shells and stones on the beach.

努力去点缀这堡垒

Striving to embellish this fortress.

为何无法让美景暂停

Why can't we pause the beautiful scenery?

为何无法避免掉眼泪

Why can't I avoid the tears falling down?

曾共有的快乐

The joy we once shared

纯真的感觉

Innocent feelings

瞬间竟冲散于人潮里

In an instant, we're swept away in the crowd.

放手的一刹 海都哭了

In the moment of letting go, even the sea cried.

回荡潮声当中告吹

The echoes of the tide fade away.

那天不知道

That day, I knew not

多么坚固壮丽的

How strong and magnificent it is

原来是个沙造的堡垒

Turns out it's a fortress made of sand.

放手的一刹 终于哭了

In the moment of letting go, at last, I cried.

回荡潮声当中告吹

Echoes of the tide, we came to an end.

那天他跟我花光心血气力的

That day, he exhausted all my heart and strength.

同样是个沙造的堡垒

A fortress made of sand, just the same.

连回梦也洗刷得粉碎

Even dreams are washed away into fragments.

回头没法找半点要据

Turning back, there’s not a trace to hold onto.
