风吹著脸 由不得我拒绝
The wind blows on my face, and I can't refuse it.
你是从不停顿的一个瞬间
You are a moment that never pauses.
世界再大 也只要求一点
No matter how vast the world is, it only asks for a little.
我再好不过你一个指尖
I’m no better than the tip of your finger.
你爱再浓烈也是条抛物线
No matter how intense your love, it’s just a parabola.
你再接近 只不过辜负我的感觉
The closer you get, the more you betray my feelings.
我早已习惯 你的名牌香水味
I've long gotten used to the scent of your designer perfume.
你的诺言 廉价的飘荡在我耳边
Your promises, cheap whispers floating by my ears.
我早已习惯 你的迷人香水味
I've long gotten used to your charming fragrance.
只是情意 随著慢慢散去
Only feelings fade away, slowly drifting apart.
渐渐消失不见
Gradually fading away,
你的气味 若能残留一点
Your scent, if it could linger just a little,
我能多少记住甜蜜的感觉
I can remember the sweetness of that feeling,
你的气味 若打著我的脸
Your scent, if it brushes against my face,
至少还能猜测幸福有多远
At least I can still guess how far happiness is,
你爱再浓烈也是条抛物线
No matter how intense your love, it's still a parabola,
你再接近 只不过辜负我的感觉
You get closer, yet only betray my feelings,
我早已习惯 你的名牌香水味
I've long been accustomed to the fragrance of your designer perfume,
你的诺言 廉价的飘荡在我耳边
Your promises, cheap, drifting in my ear,
我早已习惯 你的迷人香水味
I've long been accustomed to the charm of your perfume.
只是情意 随著慢慢散去
Love just slowly fades away,
渐渐消失不见
Gradually vanishing from sight.
你爱再浓烈也是条抛物线
No matter how intense your love, it's just a parabola,
你再接近 只不过辜负我的感觉
Getting closer only disappoints my feelings.
我早已习惯 你的名牌香水味
I've long been used to the scent of your designer perfume,
你的诺言 廉价的飘荡在我耳边
Your promises drift cheap in my ear,
我早已习惯 你的迷人香水味
I've long been used to the charm of your fragrance,
只是情意 随著慢慢散去
Love just slowly fades away,
渐渐消失不见
Gradually vanishing from sight.
