到了某个年纪你就会知道
When you reach a certain age, you'll understand
一个人的日子真的难熬
Living alone can truly be a hard test
渐渐开始尝到孤单的味道
Gradually, you start to taste the flavor of solitude
时间在敲打著你的骄傲
Time keeps knocking on your pride, it's true
过了某个路口你就会感到
After passing a certain crossroads, you'll feel the truth
彻夜陪你聊天的越来越少
Fewer and fewer stay up all night just to chat with you
厌倦了被寂寞追著跑
Tired of being chased endlessly by loneliness
找个爱你的人就想托付终老
You want to find someone who loves you to share your life's tale
能陪我走一程的人有多少
How many can walk a mile beside me, I wonder?
愿意走完一生的更是寥寥
Even fewer are willing to walk through life till the end.
是否刻骨铭心并没那么重要
Is it really that important to be etched in the heart?
只想在平淡中体会爱的味道
I just want to savor the taste of love in the mundane.
终于等到你还好我没放弃
Finally waiting for you; I'm glad I didn't give up.
幸福来得好不容易
Happiness comes so hard to come by.
才会让人更加珍惜
That's what makes us cherish it even more.
终于等到你差点要错过你
Finally waiting for you; I almost missed you.
在最好的年纪遇到你
Meeting you in the prime of my life.
才算没有辜负自己
That means I didn't let myself down.
终于等到你
Finally waiting for you.
能陪我走一程的人有多少
How many can walk this journey with me?
愿意走完一生的更是寥寥
Few are willing to walk through a life together.
是否刻骨铭心并没那么重要
Whether it's etched in the heart may not matter so much.
只想在平淡中体会爱的味道
I just want to savor the taste of love in the everyday.
终于等到你还好我没放弃
Finally waiting for you, and thankfully I didn't give up.
幸福来得好不容易
Happiness comes so hard to find.
才会让人更加珍惜
That's why it makes one treasure it even more.
终于等到你差点要错过你
Finally waiting for you, nearly about to miss you.
在最好的年纪遇到你
Meeting you in the prime of life.
才算没有辜负自己
Only then does it feel like I haven’t let myself down.
终于等到你
Finally waiting for you.
终于等到你还好我没放弃
Finally waited for you, good thing I didn't give up
幸福来得好不容易
Happiness comes with such difficulty
才会让人更加珍惜
That's why it makes people cherish it even more
终于等到你差点要错过你
Finally waited for you, almost missed you
在最好的年纪遇到你
Met you in the best years of my life
才算没有辜负自己
That's how I can feel I haven't let myself down
终于等到你
Finally waited for you
