说不出眼泪的味道
Can't describe the taste of tears,
说不出想念的味道
Can't express the flavor of longing,
逼自己咀嚼著回忆每分每秒
Forcing myself to savor memories, every second, every moment,
我笑 我哭 我逃
I laugh, I cry, I run away.
说不出天空的味道
Can't articulate the essence of the sky,
洗不掉寂寞的味道
Can't wash away the taste of loneliness,
却冲淡赖在你身上梦的味道
Yet it dilutes the flavor of dreams that cling to you,
不哭 不闹 我笑
Don't cry, don't fuss, I smile,
谁记得我想要拥抱
Who remembers that I wished for a hug?
谁记得承诺多重要
Who remembers how important promises are?
谁会记得放不下的人发了疯地等
Who will remember the ones they can't let go, waiting madly?
有一天 有一天
One day, one day.
谁记得我执著燃烧
Who remembers my stubborn flame burning bright?
谁记得谁付出多少
Who recalls who gave so much?
谁又记得谁承诺说要永远爱著我
Who remembers who promised to love me forever?
有一天 有一天
One day, one day.
说不出双手的味道
Words can't express the taste of your hands.
说不出快乐的味道
Words can't express the flavor of happiness.
心碎的伤口残留著你的味道
The wounds of a broken heart linger with your essence.
不哭 不闹 我笑
No tears, no fuss, I smile.
我记得我想要拥抱
I remember I wanted to embrace
多努力让自己更好
How hard I tried to better myself
但为什么幸福就是不肯让我找到
But why does happiness refuse to be found by me?
成全我 好不好
Grant me this, would you?
我记得你炽热心跳
I remember your passionate heartbeat
我愿意什么都不要
I'm willing to give up everything
只要你还相信著我们相遇的微笑
As long as you still believe in the smile of our meeting
我不怕 被忘掉
I'm not afraid of being forgotten
说不出的味道
The taste that can't be spoken
说不出眼泪的味道
The taste of tears that can't be expressed
说不出想念的味道
Can't express the taste of longing
