我想陪你走 走回到从前的时候
I want to walk with you—back to the days of yesteryear.
春夏秋冬无虑无忧
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, with nothing to worry about.
黑夜和白天一样温柔
Night and day are gentle alike.
每当紧紧握住妳的手
Whenever I hold your hand so tightly…
你总是默默不语低下了头
You always stay silent, lowering your gaze.
仿佛一切已经等待 好久好久
As if everything has been waiting—so long, so long.
我想陪妳走 走向到天另一头
I want to walk with you—toward the far side of the sky.
甜酸苦辣不必回首
Sweet, sour, bitter, and the rest—no need to look back.
海誓和山盟难舍难分留
Oaths by the sea and vows by the mountains, hard to part and hard to leave behind.
再次紧紧握住妳的手
Once again, I tightly hold your hand.
妳只是淡淡一笑把泪流
You just give a faint, soft smile—while tears fall on and on.
仿佛一切已经过了 好久好久
As if everything has already passed—so long, so long.
为什么漫漫思念就像那小小的钟
Why does this endless longing feel like a tiny little clock?
总是在记忆深处沧浪中随波逐流
I always drift with the tide, in the deep blue of memory.
要到什么时候才能够看得透
How long before I can finally see through it all?
我的世界已没有妳 好久好久
My world has no you in it—so long, so long.
有人说悠悠的岁月就像个圆圆的球
Some say slow, drifting years are like a round little ball.
总是在一切的美好又再回头
Always, in all the beauty, it turns back again.
要到什么时候才能握妳的手
How long before I can hold your hand?
我已经等了 好久好久
I’ve already been waiting—so long, so long.
...
...
我想陪妳走 走向到天另一头
I want to walk with you—walk all the way to the other end of the sky.
甜酸苦辣不必回首
Sweet and sour, bitter and spicy—no need to look back.
海誓和山盟难舍难分留
Oaths of sea and vows of mountain, so hard to let go, inseparable to the end.
再次紧紧握住妳的手
Once again, tightly hold your hand.
妳只是淡淡一笑把泪流
You just give a faint smile, and the tears fall.
仿佛一切已经过了 好久好久
As if everything has passed—so long, so long ago.
为什么漫漫思念就像那小小的钟
Why does this endless longing feel like a small clock?
总是在记忆深处沧浪中随波逐流
Always drifting with the current in the deep of memory, in the blue-green waves.
要到什么时候才能够看得透
How long until I can finally see through it all?
我的世界已没有妳 好久好久
My world has no you in it anymore—for so long, so long.
有人说悠悠的岁月就像个圆圆的球
Some say those drifting years are like a round little ball.
总是在一切的美好又再回头
Always, through all that’s beautiful, we turn back again.
要到什么时候才能握妳的手
When will I finally be able to hold your hand?
我已经等了 好久好久
I’ve already waited—for so long, so long.
我已经等了 好久好久
I’ve already waited—for so long, so long.
（End）
