呆在窗前望 遥望远处
Stay by the window, gazing afar
呆呆坐至深宵
Sat there dazed until deep in the night
我问明月当天 心所爱在那边
I ask the bright moon above, where's the love I seek?
谁跟他过这天
Who shares these days with him?
无尽的长夜 如在作战
The endless long night feels like a battle
仍拿著这香烟
Still holding onto this cigarette
竭力忘掉跟他经过每一天
Striving to forget each day spent with him
仍不断 再眷恋
Yet I still cling on, forever torn
每一天 再旋转
Every day, just spinning around
面对他无言地
Facing him in silent longing
溜了去剩低一张俏面
Slipped away, leaving just a pretty face behind
从此缘了 别了
Since then, it’s over, farewell
无尽的长夜 如在作战
An endless long night feels like a battle
仍拿著这香烟
Still holding onto this cigarette
竭力忘掉跟他经过每一天
Striving hard to forget each day spent with him
仍不断 再眷恋
Yet still longing, over and over again
每一天 再旋转
Every day, spinning anew
面对他无言地
Facing him, wordless
溜了去剩低一张俏面
Slipped away, leaving just a pretty face behind
从此缘了 别了
Since then, it’s over, farewell
每一天 再旋转
Each day spins around anew
面对他无言地
Facing him, lost in silence
溜了去剩低一张俏面
Slipped away, leaving a charming face behind
从此缘了 别了
From now on, fate has changed, goodbye
