  1. 降落 突然

    Your landing was too sudden,

  2. 刚好 路过

    I just happened to pass by again.

  3. 机会难得 主观觉得

    A rare chance, yet I feel so subjective,

  4. 不得

    I want to seize it, but can't touch it.

  5. 带来 我的快乐

    You brought me my happiness,

  6. 世界 有点颜色

    Adding some color to this world.

  7. 好想指责 随意

    I really want to blame you for being so carefree,

  8. 宝物有人 是不是我的

    Treasures should be held by someone, are you mine?

  9. 外来一样 求之不得

    You’re like a celestial being, unattainable,

  10. 你在世俗名字 重要

    Your name in this world no longer matters.

  11. 正好 隐藏人格而不

    Just right, the persona I hide is persistent and unwavering.

  12. 直到蜂拥透明

    Until the crowd that rushes in becomes transparent.

  13. 我在 远处

    I am here, neither too close nor too far.

  14. 明天 靠近

    Exchanging tomorrow for you to come closer to me.

  15. 占领 我的快乐

    You've taken over my joy.

  16. 世界 没有瓜葛

    And this world has no connection left.

  17. 事物 褪去颜色

    Letting things wither away, losing their color.

  18. 只有你是蓝色 开始

    Only you shine in sky blue; I'm beginning to seek you.

  19. 外来一样

    Like a celestial being, lost and then found again.

  20. 你在世俗名字 被人

    Your name in the mundane world has been borrowed by others.

  21. 反正 隐藏人格而不

    Anyway, the persona I hide is relentless and steadfast

  22. 直到蜂拥透明

    Until the crowd that swarms becomes transparent

  23. 我在 远处

    I stand at a distance, neither close nor far

  24. 明天 靠近

    Trading tomorrow for you to come close to me

  25. 就像 外来一样 求之不得

    You're like an otherworldly being, desired but unattainable

  26. 我在世俗描写笑了

    My portrayal in this mundane world has been ridiculed

  27. 反正隐藏人格非你不可

    Anyway, the persona I hide is someone you can't replace

  28. 直到别有用心透明

    Until those with ulterior motives become transparent

  29. 我在 远处

    I stand at a distance, neither close nor far

  30. 明天 靠近

    Trading tomorrow for you to come close to me
