你降落的 太突然了
Your landing was too sudden,
我刚好呢 又路过了
I just happened to pass by again.
机会难得 又主观觉得
A rare chance, yet I feel so subjective,
想明抢 又碰不得
I want to seize it, but can't touch it.
你带来了 我的快乐
You brought me my happiness,
让这世界 有点颜色
Adding some color to this world.
我好想指责 你太随意了
I really want to blame you for being so carefree,
宝物该有人捧着 你是不是我的
Treasures should be held by someone, are you mine?
你像 天外来物一样 求之不得
You’re like a celestial being, unattainable,
你在世俗里的名字 不重要了
Your name in this world no longer matters.
正好 我隐藏的人格是契而不舍
Just right, the persona I hide is persistent and unwavering.
直到蜂拥而至的人都透明了
Until the crowd that rushes in becomes transparent.
我在 不近又不远处
I am here, neither too close nor too far.
用明天换你 靠近我
Exchanging tomorrow for you to come closer to me.
你占领了 我的快乐
You've taken over my joy.
和这世界 已没有瓜葛
And this world has no connection left.
任事物干渴 都褪去颜色
Letting things wither away, losing their color.
只有你是天蓝色 我开始找你了
Only you shine in sky blue; I'm beginning to seek you.
会像 天外来物一样 失而复得
Like a celestial being, lost and then found again.
你在世俗里的名字 被人用了
Your name in the mundane world has been borrowed by others.
反正 我隐藏的人格是契而不舍
Anyway, the persona I hide is relentless and steadfast
直到蜂拥而至的人都透明了
Until the crowd that swarms becomes transparent
我在 不近又不远处
I stand at a distance, neither close nor far
用明天换你 靠近我
Trading tomorrow for you to come close to me
你就像 天外来物一样 求之不得
You're like an otherworldly being, desired but unattainable
我在世俗里的描写被取笑了
My portrayal in this mundane world has been ridiculed
反正我隐藏的人格是非你不可
Anyway, the persona I hide is someone you can't replace
直到别有用心的人都透明了
Until those with ulterior motives become transparent
我在 不近又不远处
I stand at a distance, neither close nor far
用明天换你 靠近我
Trading tomorrow for you to come close to me
