骤变的风 微寒在送 又再吹起信封
The sudden changing wind brings a chill, blowing the envelope again.
旧的梦 撩动 泪再涌 渗下了 在信中
Old dreams stir my tears, seeping down into the letter inside.
字句当中 能明白你 念挂当天 抱拥
In the words, I can understand you, longing for that day of our embrace.
极奢望 能再遇 在雨中 却乱说 没有空
I wish desperately to meet again in the rain, but I foolishly say there's no time.
视线显得朦胧 空酒杯转动与泪轻碰
My vision becomes hazy, the empty wine glass spins and lightly touches my tears.
反复的思索难变动 只得你 能慰解的心痛
The repetitive thoughts cannot change, only you can soothe this heartache.
怎么可知芳踪 让两颗枯死的心重逢
How could one know the fragrant trace, that allows two withered hearts to reunite?
不必假装轻松 在信中苦苦掩饰愁容
No need to pretend to be easy, in the letter I painfully hide my sorrowful face.
可否今宵在漆黑中走过 回来圆美梦
Can we walk through the darkness tonight and return to a perfect dream?
一生里 陶醉于欣赏晚空
In this lifetime, I am enchanted by the beauty of the evening sky.
字句当中 能明白你 念挂当天 抱拥
In every word, I can understand your longing from that day, the embrace.
极奢望 能再遇 在雨中 却乱说 没有空
With a fervent wish to meet again, in the rain, yet I foolishly say I'm too busy.
视线显得朦胧 空酒杯转动与泪轻碰
The gaze shrouded in haze, as empty glasses turn and tears gently collide.
反复的思索难变动 只得你 能慰解的心痛
Endless thoughts unravel, hard to shift, you're the only one who can soothe this heartache.
怎么可知芳踪 让两颗枯死的心重逢
How can one know your fragrant path, letting two withered hearts reunite?
不必假装轻松 在信中苦苦掩饰愁容
No need to pretend it's easy, in the letter I painfully conceal my sorrowful face.
可否今宵在漆黑中走过 回来圆美梦
Could we walk through the darkness tonight and return to dream beautifully?
一生里 陶醉于欣赏晚空
In this lifetime, I find delight in admiring the evening sky.
怎么可知芳踪 让两颗枯死的心重逢
How can one know your fragrant path, letting two withered hearts reunite?
不必假装轻松 在信中苦苦掩饰愁容
No need to pretend it's easy, in the letter I painfully conceal my sorrowful face.
仿佛今宵在漆黑中走过 可惜画面朦胧
As if tonight I walk through the darkness, yet the image is blurred,
又再失踪
Once again, I'm missing.
