只剩下钢琴陪我弹了一天
Only the piano remains, playing with me all day long.
睡着的大提琴
The cello asleep,
安静的旧旧的
Quiet and worn out.
我想你已表现得非常明白
I think you've made it very clear.
我懂我也知道
I understand, I know.
你没有舍不得
You don't feel attached.
你说你也会难过我不相信
You said you’d be sad too, I don’t believe it.
牵着你陪着我
Holding your hand, staying with me,
也只是曾经
Is just a memory now.
希望他是真的比我还要爱你
I hope he truly loves you more than I do.
我才会逼自己离开
I would force myself to leave,
你要我说多难堪
You want me to say how embarrassing it is,
我根本不想分开
I really don't want to part ways.
为什么还要我用微笑来带过
Why should I still smile to get by?
我没有这种天分
I don't have that kind of talent.
包容你也接受他
Tolerate you, but accept him too.
不用担心得太多
No need to worry too much.
我会一直好好过
I will keep living well.
你已经远远离开
You've already gone far away.
我也会慢慢走开
I'll slowly walk away too.
为什么我连分开都迁就着你
Why do I even accommodate you in our parting?
我真的没有天分
I really have no talent at all.
安静得没这么快
It won't be quiet this soon.
我会学着放弃你
I will learn to let you go.
是因为我太爱你
It's because I love you too much.
只剩下钢琴陪我弹了一天
Only the piano remains to accompany me all day.
睡着的大提琴
The sleeping cello.
安静的旧旧的
Quiet and old.
我想你已表现得非常明白
I think you've made yourself very clear.
我懂我也知道
I understand, I know too.
你没有舍不得
You didn't hold back
你说你也会难过我不相信
You said you'd be sad too, but I can't believe it
牵着你陪着我
Holding your hand, staying by my side
也只是曾经
It's just a memory now
希望他是真的比我还要爱你
I hope he truly loves you more than I do
我才会逼自己离开
Only then will I force myself to leave
你要我说多难堪
You want me to say how unbearable it is
我根本不想分开
I really don't want to part ways
为什么还要我用微笑来带过
Why must I cover it with a smile?
我没有这种天分
I don't have that kind of talent
包容你也接受他
Embracing you, accepting him too
不用担心得太多
No need to worry too much
我会一直好好过
I'll keep living well, just for me
你已经远远离开
You've already drifted far away
我也会慢慢走开
I too will slowly walk away
为什么我连分开都迁就着你
Why do I even accommodate you in our parting?
我真的没有天分
I really lack the talent
安静得没这么快
It's not so easy to be quiet this soon
我会学着放弃你
I'll learn to let you go in time
是因为我太爱你
It's because I love you too much
你要我说多难堪
You want me to say how awkward it is
我根本不想分开
I really don’t want to part ways
为什么还要我用微笑来带过
Why must I still smile through it all?
我没有这种天分
I don't have that kind of talent
包容你也接受他
To accept you and also him
不用担心得太多
No need to worry too much
我会一直好好过
I will keep living my best life
你已经远远离开
You've already gone so far away
我也会慢慢走开
I will slowly walk away as well
为什么我连分开都迁就着你
Why do I even bend over backwards to accommodate our separation?
我真的没有天分
I really have no talent at all
安静得没这么快
It's too quiet to move on so soon
我会学着放弃你
I'll learn to let you go
是因为我太爱你
It's because I love you too much
