最后一课 lyrics with English translation

怎么想像 要我重述温馨的往事

How can I imagine, asking me to recount the warm past?

便迫到我眼泪 不听你意思

It brings tears to my eyes, against your wishes.

尤其是你 不喜欢哀伤沮丧

Especially you, who dislikes sadness and gloom.

这一点我知 我知

This much I know, I know.

多么想念 你那瞭望天空的印象

How I miss the impression of you gazing at the sky.

幻想我有这份 顽强的漂亮

I dream of having this stubborn beauty.

尤其是你 在临别的豁达模样

Especially you, with that open-minded look at farewell.

多少也为了我设想

To some extent, you considered it for me.

曾经得你宠我 竟纵坏我

Once, you spoiled me, even allowed me to go astray.

连哀伤都不可 忍受太多

Even sorrow is something I can hardly bear too much.

明白孤单一个 都要自强

Understanding loneliness, I must stand strong on my own

苦楚试练 无论如何多

Painful trials, no matter how many there may be

都不算多

Still, it's not too much

离开都要考我 怎么去做我

Leaving, you put me to the test, asking how I become myself

谁都知分开 比相处更多

Everyone knows parting means more than being together

明白戏梦人生苦短

Realizing life is but a brief dream filled with struggle

也可得到最大 结果

Yet, we can still achieve the greatest outcome

何必这么 教我

Why must you teach me this way?

都只因为 你那来自心底的美丽

It's all because of your beauty that comes from the depths of your heart

学懂笑看 世上难题的造诣

Learning to smile at the challenges of the world.

尤其面对著 惶惑惊怕亦无畏

Especially when facing, bewildered and fearful yet unafraid.

得到了学会去放低

I have learned to let go once I've received.

曾经得你宠我 竟纵坏我

Once you favored me, yet allowed me to spoil myself.

连哀伤都不可 忍受太多

Even sorrow cannot withstand too much.

明白孤单一个 都要自强

Understanding loneliness means I must strengthen myself.

苦楚试练 无论如何多

Trials of pain, no matter how much they come.

得到一些 领悟未怕多

Gaining some insights, unafraid of being overwhelmed.

这告别 要是忍得到

If I can bear this farewell,

在未来任何事也可以

In the future, anything is possible.

承受到 成熟到

Embracing it all, growing into maturity.

不再问你 哪里有我的去路

No longer asking you where my path may lead.

离开都要考我 怎么去做我

Even when I leave, you test how I will be.

迟早都会枯竭 谁都清楚

Eventually, everything will dry up; this we all know.

明白戏梦人生苦短

Understanding that life’s but a fleeting dream.

也可得到最大 结果

I could still achieve the greatest outcome.

何必这么 教我

Why teach me this way?

从此只好 靠我

From now on, I must rely on myself.
