那时我们天天在一起
Back then, we were together every day,
太幸福到不需要距离
So blissful, we didn't need any distance.
很贪心 要全世界注意
So greedy, wanting the whole world to notice,
只是太年轻 快乐和伤心
But we were just too young; joy and pain,
都像在演戏 一碰就惊天动地
Were all like a play, trembling the earth with a touch.
今天看你 昨天的你去了哪里
Today I see you, where did yesterday's you go?
那年夏天我和你躲在
That summer, you and I hid in
这一大片宁静的海
This vast, tranquil sea.
直到后来我们都还在
Until later, we still remained,
对这个世界充满期待
Filled with hope for this world.
今年冬天你已经不在
This winter, you are no longer here
我的心空出了一块
My heart has a vacant space
很高兴遇见你 让我终究明白
So glad to have met you, I finally understand
回忆比真实精彩
Memories are more vivid than reality
那时我们天天在一起
Back then, we were together every day
太幸福到不需要距离
So happy, distance was not a need
很贪心 要全世界注意
So greedy, wanting the whole world to notice
只是太年轻 快乐和伤心
But we were just too young, joy and sorrow
都像在演戏 一碰就惊天动地
Both felt like acting, a touch could shake the earth
今天看你 昨天的你去了哪里
Today I see you, where did yesterday's you go?
那年夏天我和你躲在
That summer, you and I hid away
这一大片宁静的海
In this vast and tranquil sea
直到后来我们都还在
Until later, we still remained
对这个世界充满期待
Full of hope for all we could see
今年冬天你已经不在
This winter, you’re no longer here
我的心空出了一块
My heart has empty spaces now
很高兴遇见你 让我终究明白
So glad to meet you, now I clearly see
回忆比真实精彩
Memories shine brighter than reality
还记得一起努力
Still remember the times we strived together
还有那些一言为定
And all those promises we made forever
现在我就当过去是种学习
Now I’ll treat the past as a lesson learned
虽然好不容易
Though it came so hard
那年夏天我和你躲在
That summer, you and I hid away
这一大片宁静的海
In this vast tranquil sea
直到后来我们都还在
Until later, we still embraced
对这个世界充满期待
The world with open hearts and dreams
今年冬天你已经不在
This winter, you are no longer here
我的心空出了一块
Leaving a hollow space in my heart
很高兴遇见你 让我终究明白
So glad to have met you, now I finally see
回忆比真实精彩
Memories are more vivid than reality
Bye bye, never say goodbye
未来 我期待未来
The future, I look forward to the future
