还没好好的感受
Haven't truly felt it yet
雪花绽放的气候
In this climate where snowflakes bloom
我们一起颤抖
We tremble together
会更明白什么是温柔
We'll understand better what gentleness is
还没跟你牵著手
Still haven't held your hand
走过荒芜的沙丘
As we walk through barren dunes
可能从此以后学会珍惜
Perhaps from now on I'll learn to cherish
天长和地久
As long as sky and earth endure
有时候有时候
Sometimes, sometimes
我会相信一切有尽头
I will believe that everything comes to an end
相聚离开都有时候
Together or apart, it’s all in due time,
没有什么会永垂不朽
Nothing truly lasts forever,
可是我有时候
But sometimes, I would rather,
宁愿选择留恋不放手
Choose to hold on to my fond memories.
等到风景都看透
Waiting till the world is revealed,
也许你会陪我看细水长流
Perhaps you will accompany me to watch the gentle flow.
还没为你把红豆
I haven’t yet turned the red beans,
熬成缠绵的伤口
Into a lingering wound.
然后一起分享
Then we can share together,
会更明白相思的哀愁
To understand the sorrow of longing even more.
还没好好的感受
Still haven't truly felt it,
醒著亲吻的温柔
Awake, kissing with tenderness.
可能在我左右
Maybe you're right beside me,
你才追求孤独的自由
While you seek the solitude of freedom.
有时候有时候
Sometimes, sometimes,
我会相信一切有尽头
I believe everything has an end.
相聚离开都有时候
Reunions and farewells both come in time,
没有什么会永垂不朽
Nothing stays forever,
可是我有时候
But sometimes I,
宁愿选择留恋不放手
Would rather choose to hold on tight.
等到风景都看透
Until I've seen through all the scenery
也许你会陪我看细水长流
Perhaps you'll stay with me to watch the waters flow gently.
有时候有时候
Sometimes, oh sometimes
我会相信一切有尽头
I will believe that everything has an end.
相聚离开都有时候
There are times to gather and times to part
没有什么会永垂不朽
Nothing is destined to last forever.
可是我有时候
But sometimes I
宁愿选择留恋不放手
I'd rather choose to hold on, unable to let go
等到风景都看透
When the scenery has all been seen through
也许你会陪我看细水长流
Maybe you'll stay with me and watch the gentle streams flow.
