南极开的花 已那么香
The flowers blooming in the Antarctic, have such a sweet scent.
沙漠中的鱼 开始歌唱
The fish in the desert, have begun to sing.
如果你竟然 别来无恙
If you’re truly fine, after all this time.
只好怪时光 还不够漫长
I can only blame time, for not being long enough.
就像我眼睛 已会结霜
Just like my eyes, have turned to frost.
耳朵嫁给了真正的谎
My ears have married the true lies.
若还说我和 从前一样
If you still say I'm just like before,
怎么对得起 人生的荒唐
How can I face the absurdity of life?
让 寒暄都吹成风
Let all greetings be swept into the wind.
让 重逢全做成梦
Let every reunion turn into a dream.
来让所有遗憾沦为所谓遗忘
Come, let all regrets turn into what we call forgetfulness
应了那句无常
Answering to that saying of impermanence
哪里还找得到 当时月亮
Where can we still find the moon of that time?
每一秒星光 都在变幻
Every second of starlight is ever-changing
别说你的心 还是那样
Don't say your heart is still the same
桑田和沧海 该有多失望
How disappointed must the fields and seas be?
让 你不再认识我
Let you no longer recognize me
让 我不怕放过我
Let me not be afraid to let myself go
来让所有遗憾再不用被遗忘
Come, let all regrets never be forgotten again
成全那句无常
Fulfill that saying of impermanence
就让所有遗忘都忘了怎么忘
Let all that is forgotten forget how to forget,
就让无常如常
Let impermanence be as it is.
