年轮说 lyrics with English translation

看 回忆这把刀

Look, this knife of memories

切开我身体 研究我的风雨

Slices through my body, studying my storms and skies

这圈是我 那圈是你 开过心的开心

This circle is me, that circle is you, opening up joyfully

看 成长的痕迹

See the traces of growth

包裹我生命 篆刻我的章印

Wrap my life, engrave my seal

计算着我 计算着你 过不去的过去

Counting myself, counting you, the past we can't escape

一是婴儿哭啼 二是学游戏

One is a baby’s cry, two is learning the game

三是青春物语 四是碰巧遇见你

Three is a tale of youth, four is meeting you by chance

了解这个你 沉迷这个你

Understanding this you, losing myself in this you

时间暂停 再继续

Time pauses, then continues

十是寂寞夜里 百是怀了疑

Ten is the loneliness in the night, a hundred is the doubt that lingers

千是挣扎梦醒 万是铁心离开你

A thousand is the struggle of waking dreams, ten thousand is the iron will to leave you

经历这个你 活成这个我 细数自己

Experiencing this you, living as this me, counting myself

听 远方的信号

Listen, to the signals from afar

痛过的美丽 仍将冉冉升起

The beauty that has hurt still rises slowly

想起的我 想起了你 难跨过的难过

Thinking of me, thinking of you, the sadness that's hard to cross

听 发出的警告

Listen, to the warnings that arise

余烬的烟蒂 仍将燃烧思念

The embers of the cigarette still burn with longing

烧毁了我 烧毁了你 未到来的未来

Burning through me, burning through you, the future yet to come

一是婴儿哭啼 二是学游戏

One is the baby's cries, two is learning the game

三是青春物语 四是碰巧遇见你

Three is a tale of youth, four is the chance to meet you.

了解这个你 沉迷这个你

Understanding this you, addicted to this you.

时间暂停 再继续

Time stands still, then continues on.

十是寂寞夜里 百是怀了疑

Ten is the lonely nights, a hundred is the doubt I carry.

千是挣扎梦醒 万是铁心离开你

A thousand is the struggle to wake from dreams, ten thousand is the iron-hearted departure from you.

经历这个你 活成这个我 细数自己

Experiencing this you, becoming this me, counting myself.
