狂风吹散悠悠我的头发 暴雨倾盆落在身上
The wild wind scatters my hair in a gentle sway, the heavy rain pours down on me.
想要挥去的是哭泣的脸 一张哭泣的脸
What I wish to brush away is a crying face, a face filled with tears.
就让狂风吹走我的眷恋 就让暴雨冲走你的爱怜
So let the wild wind carry away my longing, let the heavy rain wash away your affection.
不愿留在脸上的是眼泪 怎么也擦不干的泪水
What I don't want on my face are tears, tears that just won't dry.
夜已深沉灯火已渐熄灭 我们早注定没有永远
The night has grown deep and the lights have slowly dimmed; we were destined to have no forever.
爱你的心永远都不会改变 一辈子都不会改变
My love for you will never change, it will never change for a lifetime.
爱过以后应该无怨无悔 怎能怪那命定的缘
After loving, there should be no regrets; how can one blame the fated bond?
从此留下我忧郁的影子 影子孤独伸延
From now on, I'll leave behind my melancholic shadow, a shadow that extends in solitude.
