还记得吗? 窗外那被月光染亮的海洋
Do you still remember? The ocean outside, illuminated by moonlight
你还记得吗? 是爱让彼此把夜点亮
Do you still remember? It was love that lit up the night for us both
为何后来我们用沉默取代依赖?
Why did we later replace reliance with silence?
曾经朗朗星空 渐渐阴霾
Once there was a bright starry sky, now slowly clouded
心碎离开 转身回到最初荒凉里等待
Hearts shattered and left, turning back to wait in the initial desolation
为了寂寞 是否找个人填心中空白?
For the sake of loneliness, should we find someone to fill the emptiness inside?
我们变成了世上最熟悉的陌生人
We've become the most familiar strangers in the world
今后各自曲折 各自悲哀
From now on, each with our own twists, each with our own sorrow
只怪我们爱得那么汹涌 爱得那么深
We can only blame how fiercely we loved, how deeply we loved
于是梦醒了 搁浅了 沉默了 挥手了 却回不了神
Thus, the dream awakened, beached, silenced, waved goodbye, yet couldn't return to our senses
如果当初在交会时能忍住了激动的灵魂
If only we had held back our excited souls at that intersection,
也许今夜我不会让自己在思念里沉沦
Maybe tonight I wouldn't drown in my longing.
心碎离开 转身回到最初荒凉里等待
Heart shattered, I turn back to wait in the initial desolation.
为了寂寞 是否找个人填心中空白?
For the sake of loneliness, should I find someone to fill this void?
我们变成了世上最熟悉的陌生人
We have become the world's most familiar strangers.
今后各自曲折 各自悲哀
From now on, each takes their own winding paths, their own sorrows.
只怪我们爱得那么汹涌 爱得那么深
We can only blame the way we loved so fiercely, loved so deeply.
于是梦醒了 搁浅了 沉默了 挥手了 却回不了神
And so, dreams awaken, run aground, fall silent, wave goodbye, yet can't return to reality.
如果当初在交会时能忍住了激动的灵魂
If only we had held back our excited souls at that intersection,
也许今夜我不会让自己在思念里沉沦
Maybe tonight I wouldn't drown in my longing.
我们变成了世上最熟悉的陌生人
We’ve become the most familiar strangers in the world
今后各自曲折 各自悲哀
From now on, each to their twists, each to their sorrows
只怪我们爱得那么汹涌 爱得那么深
Only to blame how passionately we loved, how deeply we loved
于是梦醒了 搁浅了 沉默了 挥手了 却回不了神
Thus the dream awoke, stranded, silenced, waving goodbye, yet unable to return to myself
如果当初在交会时能忍住了激动的灵魂
If only back then, at our meeting, I could have restrained my excited soul
也许今夜我不会让自己在思念里沉沦
Perhaps tonight, I wouldn’t let myself drown in longing
