画框里的你应该什么模样
What should you look like, framed in the picture?
油画颜料散落在阁楼桌上
The oil paints are scattered on the attic table.
与你有关的一切我都画不完
Everything related to you, I can never finish painting.
放下笔安静的想起一个地方
I put down the brush, quietly recalling a place.
午后庄园葡萄藤散发果香
In the afternoon, the vineyard gives off the scent of grapes.
地窖的橡木桶酝酿起过往
The oak barrels in the cellar brew the past.
回忆年少有一种停格的美感
There’s a kind of stillness in the beauty of youthful memories.
想起了你还有几年前的远方
Thinking of you, from a distance years ago.
这石砌的老墙颜色斑驳著米黄
This old stone wall is speckled with a faded yellow.
当初的感觉已在石板路上走散
The feelings we once had have drifted on the cobblestone path.
推开了百叶窗 你剪影的背景有夕阳
Pushed open the shutters, your silhouette set against the sunset
温暖柔美的光
Warm and gentle light
你的倒影是我带不走的风景
Your reflection is a landscape I can never take away
就像居无定所的云还在旅行
Just like wandering clouds still on their journey
这城墙外的世界 谁被放逐了眼泪
Outside the city walls, who has shed tears of exile?
我想再也没有谁 再也没有谁 能了解
I feel like there's no one anymore, no one at all, who can understand
你的倒影是我带不走的风景
Your reflection is a landscape I can never take away
故事只剩只剩我一个人相信
This story remains with only me to believe
仰望天空之城 想起越走越远的我们
Gazing at the city in the sky, recalling how we drifted further apart
午后庄园葡萄藤散发果香
In the afternoon, the vineyard's grapevines release their sweet fragrance
地窖的橡木桶酝酿起过往
The oak barrels in the cellar brew the past,
回忆年少有一种停格的美感
Memories of youth hold a certain stillness of beauty.
想起了你还有几年前的远方
Thinking of you and the distant places from years ago,
这石砌的老墙颜色斑驳著米黄
This old stone wall bears a mottled hue of beige.
当初的感觉已在石板路上走散
The initial feelings have scattered along the cobblestone path.
推开了百叶窗 你剪影的背景有夕阳
I push open the shutters, your silhouette framed by the sunset,
温暖柔美的光
Warm, gentle light.
你的倒影是我带不走的风景
Your reflection is a landscape I cannot take away.
就像居无定所的云还在旅行
Just like a cloud without a home still on a journey,
这城墙外的世界 谁被放逐了眼泪
In the world beyond these city walls, who has been exiled with tears?
我想再也没有谁 再也没有谁 能了解
I think no one else can understand anymore, no one else at all.
你的倒影是我 带不走的风景
Your reflection is the scenery I can't take away.
故事只剩只剩我一个人相信
The story remains, only I believe in it alone.
仰望天空之城 想起越走越远的我们
Looking up at the city in the sky, I recall how far we've wandered.
你的倒影是我带不走的风景
Your reflection is the scenery I can't take away.
就像居无定所的云还在旅行
Just like the wandering clouds, still on their journey.
这城墙外的世界 谁被放逐了眼泪
In the world beyond these city walls, who has been exiled by tears?
我想再也没有谁 再也没有谁 能了解
I think no one else can understand anymore, no one else at all.
你的倒影是我 带不走的风景
Your reflection is the scenery I can't take away.
故事只剩只剩我一个人相信
The story remains, only I believe in it alone.
仰望天空之城 想起越走越远的我们
Gazing at the city in the sky, I remember us drifting further away.
