我坐在床前 望著窗外 回忆满天
I sit by the bed, gazing out the window, memories fill the sky.
生命是华丽错觉 时间是贼 偷走一切
Life is a magnificent illusion, time is a thief that steals everything.
七岁的那一年 抓住那只蝉
That year when I was seven, I caught that cicada.
以为能抓住夏天
I thought I could hold onto summer.
十七岁的那年 吻过他的脸
That year when I was seventeen, I kissed his face.
就以为和他能永远
I believed we could last forever.
有没有那么一种永远 永远不改变
Is there such a forever that never changes?
拥抱过的美丽都 再也不破碎
The beauty we've embraced won't ever shatter again.
让险峻岁月不能在脸上撒野
Let the harsh years not run wild on our faces.
让生离和死别都遥远
Let the separations and farewells be far away.
有谁能听见?
Who can hear me?
我坐在床前 转过头看 谁在沉睡?
I sit before the bed, turn my head to see who is sleeping?
那一张苍老的脸好像是我 紧闭双眼
That weathered face looks like mine, eyes tightly shut.
曾经是爱我的 和我深爱的
Once it was love that cherished me, and I loved so deeply.
都围绕在我身边
They all surround me now.
带不走的那些 遗憾和眷恋
Those regrets and longings that cannot be taken away,
就化成最后一滴泪
Transform into the final tear.
有没有那么一滴眼泪 能洗掉后悔
Is there a single tear that can wash away regret?
化成大雨降落在 回不去的街
Falling like a heavy rain on streets that can't be retraced.
再给我一次机会将故事改写
Give me one more chance to rewrite this story.
还欠了他一生的一句抱歉
Still owe him an apology for a lifetime
有没有那么一个世界 永远不天黑
Is there a world where it never grows dark?
星星太阳万物都听我的指挥
Stars and the sun obey my every command
月亮不忙著圆缺春天不走远
The moon isn't in a rush to wax and wane, and spring won't stray far
树梢紧紧拥抱著树叶
The treetops tightly embrace their leaves
有谁能听见?
Who can hear it?
耳际眼前 此生重演
At the ear and before the eyes, this life rewinds
是我来自漆黑 而又回归漆黑
I come from the pitch black and return to the pitch black
人间瞬间 天地之间
In an instant on Earth, between heaven and earth
下次我 又是谁?
Next time, who will I be again?
有没有那么一朵玫瑰 永远不凋谢
Is there a rose that never fades away?
永远骄傲和完美 永远不妥协
Forever proud and perfect, never compromising.
为何人生最后会像一张纸屑?
Why does life end up like a scrap of paper?
还不如一片花瓣曾经鲜艳
Not as vibrant as a single fallen petal once was.
有没有那么一张书签 停止那一天
Is there a bookmark that halts that day?
最单纯的笑脸和最美那一年
The purest smiling face and the most beautiful year.
书包里面装满了蛋糕和汽水
My backpack filled with cake and soda.
双眼只有无猜和无邪
Eyes only full of innocence and naivety.
让我们无法无天
Let us be reckless and carefree.
有没有那么一首诗篇 找不到句点
Is there a poem where no end can be found?
青春永远定居在我们的岁月
Youth forever finds its home in our years.
男孩和女孩都有吉他和舞鞋
Boys and girls both have guitars and dancing shoes.
笑忘人间的苦痛 只有甜美
Laughing away the pain of the world, only sweetness remains.
有没有那么一个明天 重头活一遍
Is there a tomorrow to live it all over again?
让我再次感受曾挥霍的昨天
Let me feel once more the yesterday I squandered.
无论生存或生活我都不浪费
Whether in survival or living, I waste not a thing.
不让故事这么的后悔
I won't let the story end in regret this way.
有谁能听见? 我不要告别
Is there anyone who can hear? I don’t want to say goodbye.
我坐在床前 看著指尖 已经如烟
I sit before my bed, watching my fingertips, now like smoke.
