你住的巷子里 我租了一间公寓
In the alley where you live, I rented an apartment,
为了想与你不期而遇
Hoping to encounter you by chance,
高中三年 我为什么 为什么不好好读书
For three years of high school, why didn't I study well, oh why,
没考上跟你一样的大学
I didn't get into the same university as you,
我找了份工作 离你宿舍很近
I found a job that's really close to your dorm,
当我开始学会做蛋饼 才发现你 不吃早餐
When I started learning to make pancakes, I realized you don't eat breakfast,
喔 你又擦肩而过
Oh, you brushed past me again,
你耳机听什么 能不能告诉我
What are you listening to on your headphones? Can you tell me, please?
躺在你学校的操场看星空
Lying on the schoolyard gazing at the starry sky,
教室里的灯还亮著 你没走
The classroom lights are still on, you haven't left.
记得我写给你的情书
Remember the love letter I wrote for you,
都什么年代了 到现在我还在写著
What age are we in now, and here I am still writing,
总有一天 总有一年 会发现
One day, one year, you'll eventually realize,
有人默默的陪在你的身边
Someone's quietly by your side,
也许我不该在你的世界
Perhaps I shouldn't be in your world,
当你收到情书 也代表我已经走远
When you receive the love letter, it means I've already gone far away,
学校旁的广场 我在这等钟声响
In the square by the school, I wait for the bell to ring,
等你下课一起走好吗?
Can we walk together after your class?
弹著琴 唱你爱的歌 暗恋一点都不痛苦 (一点都不痛苦)
Playing the piano, singing your favorite song, loving you is not painful at all (not painful at all),
痛苦的是你根本没看我
The pain is that you never even noticed me.
我唱这么走心 (这么走心) 却走不进你心里 (进你心里)
I sing with all my heart (with all my heart), yet I can't enter your heart (enter your heart)
在人来人往 找寻著你 守护著你 不求结局
In the ebb and flow of people, I search for you, guarding you, asking for no ending
喔 你又擦肩而过
Oh, you brush past me again
我唱告白气球 终于你回了头
I sing a confession balloon, and finally you turn around
躺在你学校的操场看星空
Lying on your school's playground, gazing at the stars
教室里的灯还亮著你没走
The lights in the classroom still shine, you're still here
记得我写给你的情书
Remember the love letter I wrote for you
都什么年代了 到现在我还在写著
What era is it now? Yet here I am still writing
总有一天 总有一年 会发现
There will come a day, there will come a year, when you'll discover
有人默默的陪在你的身边
Someone quietly stays by your side
也许我不该在你的世界
Maybe I shouldn't be in your world
当你收到情书 也代表我已经走远
When you receive love letters, it means I've already gone far away
