  1. 记得年前手牵手

    Do you still remember the years we held hands?

  2. 害羞不敢抬头

    You were so shy, too timid to lift your gaze.

  3. 看著天上星星

    Just staring blankly at the stars in the sky.

  4. 就是那么

    You were just so pure and serene.

  5. 知道收到上榜通知

    Knowing you've received that notice of fame,

  6. 我的心里变得

    My heart becomes a whirlwind of confusion.

  7. 不知高兴还为自己忧愁

    Unsure whether to rejoice for you or mourn for myself.

  8. 只好

    All I can do is let you go.

  9. 明白 明白 为什么不能放得

    I don’t understand, I don’t understand why I can’t let go.

  10. 舍不得 这个 妳是一生一世不会了解

    Reluctant to part, this love, you will never understand for a lifetime.

  11. 明白 明白 心中永远存在

    I understand, I understand, in my heart, you will always exist.

  12. 或许一天怀念 可是不在

    Perhaps one day you'll reminisce, but I'll no longer be there.

  13. 记得开始不能适应

    Do you remember how at first you couldn't adapt,

  14. 那个环境

    To that chaotic and noisy environment?

  15. 一个姑娘到了城市

    A small-town girl has come to the big city,

  16. 一定故事

    You've surely heard this story.

  17. 寂寞时刻陪伴

    In your loneliest moments, I was there for you,

  18. 我的安慰鼓励

    Offering you my comfort and encouragement.

  19. 自己矛盾私心每天忧愁

    My own conflicting desires bring me daily sorrow,

  20. 只好

    So I must let you go.

  21. 明白 明白 为什么不能放得

    I don't understand, I don't understand why I can't let go.

  22. 舍不得 这个 妳是一生一世不会了解

    Reluctant, this love, you'll never understand for a lifetime.

  23. 明白 明白 心中永远存在

    I understand, I understand, in my heart, you'll always exist.

  24. 或许一天怀念 可是不在

    Perhaps one day you'll reminisce, but by then, I will be gone.

  25. 记得一年站在火车

    Still remember standing at the train station a year ago,

  26. 看著自己悲剧

    Watching my own tragedy come to an end.

  27. 透过玻璃窗看见妳的

    Through the glass, I see your tear-streaked face,

  28. 依然吐著

    The train still billows smoke ahead.

  29. 听说现在 成了经理

    I heard that now you're a big manager,

  30. 前途好比闪亮星星

    Bright future shining like stars in the night.

  31. 我只希望所有能够欢喜

    I only wish for all that can bring you joy,

  32. 才能放心

    Only then can I leave with peace of mind.

  33. 明白 明白 为什么不能放得

    I don't understand, I don't understand why I can't let go.

  34. 舍不得 这个 妳是一生一世不会了解

    Reluctant to part with this love, you will never understand it in this life.

  35. 明白 明白 心中永远存在

    I know, I know that in my heart, you will always remain.

  36. 或许一天怀念 可是不在

    Perhaps one day you'll reminisce, but by then, I will be gone.
