维京航海 日记簿 停留在甲板等日出
A Viking voyage, a diary, waiting on the deck for the sunrise
瓶中信 被丢入 关于美人鱼的纪录
A message in a bottle, thrown in, a record of the mermaid
中世纪 的秘密 从此后被塞入了瓶盖
Secrets of the Middle Ages, forever sealed in the bottle's cap
千年来 妳似乎 为等谁而存在
For a thousand years, it seems you've existed waiting for someone
或许凄美 在暧昧 海与夕阳之间金黄的一切
Perhaps it's melancholic, everything in gold between the ambiguity of sea and sunset
海岸线 在起雾 似乎是离别适合的季节
The coastline, shrouded in fog, seems to be a season for farewells
雾散后 只看见 长发的妳出现在岸边
When the fog clears, only you with long hair appear on the shore
为了爱 忘了危险
For love, I forgot the danger
美人鱼的眼泪 是一个连伤心都透明的世界
The mermaid's tears, a world so transparent even in sorrow
地平线的远方一轮满月
In the distance of the horizon, a full moon rises
童话般感觉 让我爱上有妳的黑夜
In a fairy tale feel, I fell in love with the night that has you.
无声的眼泪 水族玻璃里妳一次次的来回
Silent tears, you come and go repeatedly in the glassy water.
思念成了仅存的那一切 缺氧的感觉
Longing has become everything that remains, a feeling of suffocation.
维京航海 日记簿 停留在甲板等日出
Viking sailing, a diary, lingering on the deck waiting for sunrise.
瓶中信 被丢入 关于美人鱼的纪录
A letter in a bottle, tossed in, a record of the mermaid.
中世纪 的秘密 从此后被塞入了瓶盖
Secrets of the Middle Ages, from now on sealed in the bottle cap.
千年来 妳似乎 为等谁而存在
For a thousand years, it seems you've existed to wait for someone.
或许凄美 在暧昧 海与夕阳之间金黄的一切
Perhaps it's tragic, everything golden between the ambiguous sea and sunset.
海岸线 在起雾 似乎是离别适合的季节
The coastline shrouded in mist, seems like a season suited for farewells.
雾散后 只看见 长发的妳出现在岸边
After the fog clears, I only see you with long hair appearing by the shore.
为了爱 忘了危险
For love, I forgot the danger
美人鱼的眼泪 是一个连伤心都透明的世界
The mermaid's tears create a world where even sadness is transparent
地平线的远方一轮满月
A full moon on the horizon in the distance
童话般感觉 让我爱上有妳的黑夜
A fairy tale feeling makes me fall in love with the night that has you
无声的眼泪 水族玻璃里妳一次次的来回
Silent tears, your back and forth in the aquarium glass
思念成了仅存的那一切 缺氧的感觉
Longing has become all that's left, a feeling of suffocation
美人鱼的眼泪 是一个连伤心都透明的世界
The mermaid's tears create a world where even sadness is transparent
地平线的远方一轮满月
A full moon on the horizon in the distance
童话般感觉 让我爱上有妳的黑夜
A fairy tale feeling makes me fall in love with the night that has you
无声的眼泪 水族玻璃里妳一次次的来回
Silent tears, your back and forth in the aquarium glass
思念成了仅存的那一切 缺氧的感觉
Longing has become the only thing left, a feeling of breathlessness.
