是误会或是彼此欠缺默契
Is it a misunderstanding or a lack of connection between us?
从前情浓如酒却遇着防卫
Once our love was as rich as wine, but now we meet with defenses up.
今天的你已是铅华尽洗
Today, you've washed away all that brilliance.
回我身边不过当初的爱已渐逝
You coming back to my side feels like the love we had has already faded.
滴著泪问什么因素错误计
With tears dripping, I ask what went wrong in the calculations.
情人能重逢心却未获连系
Lovers could reunite, but our hearts remain unlinked.
今天的你已像完全陌生
Today, you feel like a complete stranger to me.
就算始终不变一般的美丽
Even if your beauty remains unchanged through it all,
情已逝你当初伤我心令我悲凄
The love is gone; the hurt you caused me once still brings me sorrow.
不得不放弃柔情何时已消逝
I have to let go of the tender feelings that have long disappeared.
没法可重计
No way to recount it again
情已逝你当初一带走便再不归
Love has faded, you took it away and never returned
虽今天再遇你浓情仍然似水逝
Though today I encounter you again, the deep feelings have ebbed like water
从前莫再提
Forget the past, let it not be mentioned
是误会或是彼此欠缺默契
Was it a misunderstanding or a lack of chemistry between us?
从前情浓如酒却遇着防卫
Once our love was rich like wine, but met with defenses
今天的你已是铅华尽洗
Today, you've washed away all the superficiality
回我身边不过我当初的爱已渐逝
You return to my side, but the love I had for you has gradually faded
滴著泪问什么因素错误计
With tears, I ask what factors led to the wrong calculations
情人能重逢心却未获连系
Though lovers may reunite, our hearts remain unconnected
今天的你已像完全陌生
Today, you feel like a complete stranger,
就算始终不变一般的美丽
Even if your beauty remains the same。
情已逝你当初伤我心令我悲凄
The love has faded, your past wounds left me in sorrow.
不得不放弃柔情何时已消逝
I had to give up tenderness, when did it all vanish?
没法可重计
No way to recalculate.
情已逝你当初一带走便再不归
The love has faded, you took it away and never returned.
虽今天再遇你浓情仍然似水逝
Even if I meet you again today, affection flows away like water.
从前莫再提
Let the past not be mentioned.
情已逝你当初伤我心令我悲凄
The love has faded, your past wounds left me in sorrow.
不得不放弃柔情何时已消逝
I had to give up tenderness, when did it all vanish?
没法可重计
No way to count again
情已逝你当初一带走便再不归
The love has faded, you took it away and never returned
虽今天再遇你浓情仍然似水逝
Though today we meet again, the deep feelings still flow like water lost
从前莫再提
Don’t mention the past anymore
