    We tremble together

  4. 明白什么温柔

    We'll understand better what gentleness is

  5. 著手

    Still haven't held your hand

  6. 走过荒芜沙丘

    As we walk through barren dunes

  7. 可能从此以后学会珍惜

    Perhaps from now on I'll learn to cherish

  8. 天长

    As long as sky and earth endure

  13. 可是我有时候

    But sometimes, I would rather,

    Choose to hold on to my fond memories.

  15. 等到风景看透

    Waiting till the world is revealed,

  16. 也许你会我看

    Perhaps you will accompany me to watch the gentle flow.

    Still haven't truly felt it,

  22. 醒著亲吻温柔

    Awake, kissing with tenderness.

  23. 可能左右

    Maybe you're right beside me,

  24. 追求孤独自由

    While you seek the solitude of freedom.

  25. 时候时候
