晨曦细雨 重临在这大地
Morning's drizzle softly returns to this Earth,
人孤孤单单躲避
Lonely souls, hiding in their own silence,
转身刹那 在这熟悉的路旁
In a fleeting turn, by this familiar road,
察觉身后路人是你
I realize that the passerby is you.
如一套戏重逢在这旧地
Like a play, we meet again in this old place,
而彼此不知怎预备
Yet we don't know how to prepare for it,
一些叹气跟一串慰问
A few sighs and a string of comforting words,
和随便说一些赞美
And casually throw in some compliments,
为何你眼光年月未变?
Why does your gaze remain unchanged through the years?
思忆怎么要再返旧年?
How can memories bring us back to the old days?
你说要走的一晚
The night you said you would leave
连绵夜雨也似这天
The relentless rain feels like this day
总要在雨天 逃避某段从前
On rainy days, we must escape a certain past
但雨点偏偏促使这样遇见
Yet the raindrops are what leads to this encounter
总要在雨天 人便挂念从前
On rainy days, we find ourselves longing for the past
在痛哭拥抱告别后从没再见
After the tears and farewell embrace, we never met again
而一个我言词渐觉乏味
And I find my words slowly losing their charm
人不知怎么躲避
People don’t know how to hide away
终于看见在这熟悉的路旁
Finally, I see by this familiar roadside
那个他静静凝望你
That he quietly gazes at you
而一个你重离别这旧地
And you, leaving this old place once more,
临走的一刻亲近地
In that final moment, so close to me,
轻轻送我 多真挚慰问
Gently send me off, such heartfelt wishes.
犹如逝去当天语气
Just like the tone of that day long gone.
为何你眼光年月未变?
Why does your gaze remain unchanged through the years?
思忆怎么要再返旧年?
How come memories want to return to the past?
你说要走的一晚
You said it was the night you would leave,
连绵夜雨也似这天
Even the ceaseless rain seems like that day.
总要在雨天 逃避某段从前
Always on rainy days, escaping certain pasts,
但雨点偏偏促使这样遇见
Yet the raindrops insist on bringing us together.
总要在雨天 人便挂念从前
On rainy days, one can't help but think of the past,
在痛哭拥抱告别后从没再见
After the tearful hugs and farewells, we never met again.
总要在雨天 逃避某段从前
On rainy days, one dodges a certain part of the past,
但雨点偏偏促使这样遇见
Yet the raindrops unwittingly make this meeting happen.
总要在雨天 人便挂念从前
On rainy days, one can't help but think of the past,
在痛哭拥抱告别后从没再见
After the tearful hugs and farewells, we never met again.
总要在雨天 逃避某段从前
On rainy days, one dodges a certain part of the past,
但雨点偏偏促使这样遇见
Yet the raindrops unwittingly make this meeting happen.
总要在雨天 人便挂念从前
On rainy days, one can't help but think of the past,
是你的一切告别在雨天
It's all your goodbyes that linger in the rain.
