  1. 坐在 望著窗外 回忆

    I sit by the bed, gazing out the window, memories fill the sky.

  2. 生命华丽错觉 时间 偷走一切

    Life is a magnificent illusion, time is a thief that steals everything.

  3. 那一 抓住那只

    That year when I was seven, I caught that cicada.

  4. 以为抓住夏天

    I thought I could hold onto summer.

  5. 十七岁 他的

    That year when I was seventeen, I kissed his face.

  6. 以为永远

    I believed we could last forever.

  7. 没有那么一种永远 永远改变

    Is there such a forever that never changes?

  8. 拥抱过的美丽 再也不破碎

    The beauty we've embraced won't ever shatter again.

  9. 险峻岁月不能撒野

    Let the harsh years not run wild on our faces.

  10. 死别遥远

    Let the separations and farewells be far away.

  11. 谁能听见?

    Who can hear me?

  12. 坐在 过头 谁在沉睡?

    I sit before the bed, turn my head to see who is sleeping?

  13. 一张苍老好像是 双眼

    That weathered face looks like mine, eyes tightly shut.

  14. 曾经我的 深爱

    Once it was love that cherished me, and I loved so deeply.

  15. 围绕身边

    They all surround me now.

  16. 不走那些 遗憾眷恋

    Those regrets and longings that cannot be taken away,

  17. 化成最后一滴

    Transform into the final tear.

  18. 没有那么一滴眼泪 洗掉后悔

    Is there a single tear that can wash away regret?

  19. 化成大雨降落在 不去

    Falling like a heavy rain on streets that can't be retraced.

  20. 一次机会故事改写

    Give me one more chance to rewrite this story.

  21. 一生一句抱歉

    Still owe him an apology for a lifetime

  22. 没有那么一个世界 永远天黑

    Is there a world where it never grows dark?

  23. 星星太阳万物听我指挥

    Stars and the sun obey my every command

  24. 月亮忙著春天不走

    The moon isn't in a rush to wax and wane, and spring won't stray far

  25. 树梢紧紧拥抱树叶

    The treetops tightly embrace their leaves

  26. 谁能听见?

    Who can hear it?

  27. 眼前 此生重演

    At the ear and before the eyes, this life rewinds

  28. 来自漆黑 而又回归漆黑

    I come from the pitch black and return to the pitch black

  29. 人间瞬间 天地之间

    In an instant on Earth, between heaven and earth

  30. 下次 又是?

    Next time, who will I be again?

  31. 没有那么一朵玫瑰 永远凋谢

    Is there a rose that never fades away?

  32. 永远骄傲完美 永远妥协

    Forever proud and perfect, never compromising.

  33. 为何人生最后一张?

    Why does life end up like a scrap of paper?

  34. 不如一片花瓣曾经鲜艳

    Not as vibrant as a single fallen petal once was.

  35. 没有那么一张书签 停止一天

    Is there a bookmark that halts that day?

  36. 单纯笑脸最美那一

    The purest smiling face and the most beautiful year.

  37. 书包里面装满蛋糕汽水

    My backpack filled with cake and soda.

  38. 双眼只有无邪

    Eyes only full of innocence and naivety.

  39. 我们无法

    Let us be reckless and carefree.

  40. 没有那么一首诗篇 找不到句点

    Is there a poem where no end can be found?

  41. 青春永远定居我们岁月

    Youth forever finds its home in our years.

  42. 男孩女孩都有吉他舞鞋

    Boys and girls both have guitars and dancing shoes.

  43. 人间苦痛 只有甜美

    Laughing away the pain of the world, only sweetness remains.

  44. 没有那么一个明天 一遍

    Is there a tomorrow to live it all over again?

  45. 再次感受挥霍昨天

    Let me feel once more the yesterday I squandered.

  46. 无论生存生活都不浪费

    Whether in survival or living, I waste not a thing.

  47. 故事这么后悔

    I won't let the story end in regret this way.

  48. 谁能听见? 不要告别

    Is there anyone who can hear? I don’t want to say goodbye.

  49. 坐在 看著指尖 已经

    I sit before my bed, watching my fingertips, now like smoke.
