零七年 那一首定情曲的前奏
In '07, the prelude of that love song
要是依然念念不忘 太不称头
If I'm still unable to forget, it's just too much to bear
早放生彼此 好好过 都多久
Letting each other go early, living well, how long has it been?
你怎么像标本 杵在我心里头
Why do you feel like a specimen, stuck in my heart?
后来的那几个 又没做错什么
Those few later on, they did nothing wrong
他们口中自私的我
The selfish me, as they say
犯了偷窃时间的错 复制贴上你的爱
Made the mistake of stealing time, copying and pasting your love
也很精彩的你 不甘寂寞
You, full of brilliance, unwilling to be lonely
这圈子不太大 多少听说
This circle isn't very big, I've heard quite a bit
欣赏你流浪 像是种信仰
Admiring your wanderlust, it's like a kind of faith
我真这么想
I truly feel this way,
再被你提起 已是连名带姓
Being mentioned by you, it's with both name and title.
谎称是友谊 却疏远得可以
Feigning friendship, yet growing distant as can be.
多少人爱我 偏放不下你 是公开的秘密
So many love me, yet can't let you go; it's a public secret.
只剩你没拆穿我
You’re the only one who hasn’t exposed me.
再处心积虑 终究事不关己
No matter how I scheme, in the end, it’s not my concern.
哪来的勇气 我就是不灰心
What courage do I have? I just refuse to lose hope.
我且爱且走 其实在等你 是仅有的默契
I love and I move on; in truth, I'm still waiting for you—our only understanding.
你会不会又错过 我没有把握
Will you once again miss me? I have no certainty.
算不清 多少个跨年夜一起过
Can't count how many New Year's Eves we've shared together.
要是依然念念不忘 太不称头
If only the memories wouldn’t linger, it’s just too hard to bear.
早放生彼此 好好过 都多久
Let’s release each other early, live well; how long has it been?
你怎么像标本 杵在我心里头
Why do you feel like a specimen, stuck in my heart?
后来的那几个 又没做错什么
The ones after you, they didn’t do anything wrong.
他们口中自私的我
The selfish me in their mouths.
犯了偷窃时间的错 复制贴上你的爱
Committed the crime of stealing time, copying and pasting your love.
也很精彩的你 不甘寂寞
You, so spectacular, unwilling to be lonely.
这圈子不太大 多少听说
This circle isn’t that big, I’ve heard quite a bit.
欣赏你流浪 像是种信仰
I admire your wandering, like a faith you uphold.
我真这么想
I truly think this way.
再被你提起 已是连名带姓
When you mention me again, it's already my name in full.
谎称是友谊 却疏远得可以
Falsely claiming friendship, yet the distance is so vast.
多少人爱我 偏放不下你 是公开的秘密
So many love me, yet I can't let you go; it's a public secret.
只剩你没拆穿我
Only you have not exposed me.
再处心积虑 终究事不关己
No matter how scheming, ultimately it’s none of my business.
哪来的勇气 我就是不灰心
What courage do I have? I just refuse to lose heart.
我且爱且走 其实在等你 是最后的默契
I will love and walk on; actually, I'm waiting for you—it's our final understanding.
要是我们又错过 就别再回头
If we miss each other again, let’s not look back.
