海天 连线的 地方是那夕阳
Where the sea and sky connect is that sunset.
木造 的甲板一整遍 是那金黄
The wooden deck stretches wide, glowing in gold.
你背光 的轮廓就像剪影一样
Your backlit silhouette resembles a shadow.
充满着想象 任谁都 会爱上
Filled with imagination, anyone would fall in love.
琴键声 在船舱 随海风 回荡
The sound of piano keys echoes in the cabin, carried by the sea breeze.
竟有一种
There is a kind of
属于中世纪才有的浪漫
Romance that belongs to the Middle Ages.
微笑眺望远方 是你的习惯
Smiling and gazing into the distance, it's your habit.
古典钢琴 在敲打 小小的那哀伤
The classical piano strikes a little sadness.
你的眼神 隐约中有着不安不安
In your gaze, there’s a hint of unease.
你不敢不敢
You don't dare, you don't dare
继续的暧昧喜欢 你泪化了妆
The lingering affection continues, your tears have turned to make-up
不舍全写在脸上
All the reluctance written on your face
摇摇晃晃 船已入港
Rocking and swaying, the ship has reached the harbor
我不忍为难 问谁在等你靠岸
I can't bear to ask, who’s waiting for you to dock?
一圈戒痕 在你指上
A circle of ring marks on your finger
目送你 越走越远的 悲伤
Watching you, walking further away, the sadness
我害怕 故事走不到一半
I'm afraid the story won’t make it halfway
你心里早就已经有了答案
You’ve had the answer in your heart for a long time
走偏了 方向 你绝口 不谈 不谈
You've strayed from the path, and you refuse to talk about it, refuse to talk
我不过问 只是彼此 的心被捆绑
I won't ask, just our hearts bound together
明明 海阔天空 蔚蓝的海洋
Clearly, the sea is vast and the sky is bright, the ocean so blue
你心里面
Inside your heart
却有一个不透明的地方
There’s a place shrouded in shadow
浪倒映月光 足迹遗留在沙滩
Waves reflect the moonlight, footprints left on the sand
留遗憾在码头上
Leaving regrets at the dock
空气弥漫着怀旧时光
The air is filled with the scent of nostalgic times
我看见 呵护着你的那个 对象
I see the one protecting you
我的和弦
My chord
开始慢板的沧桑 你泪化了妆
Begins with a slow, poignant touch, your tears smudging your makeup
不舍全写在脸上
The reluctance written all over your face
摇摇晃晃 船已入港
Rocking and swaying, the ship has docked
我不忍为难 问谁在等你靠岸
I can't bear to ask, who waits for you to come ashore?
一圈戒痕 在你指上
A circle of ring marks on your finger
目送你 越走越远的 悲伤
Watching you walk away, this sadness grows ever more distant
你泪化了妆 不舍全写在脸上
Your tears have smudged your makeup, reluctance painted on your face
摇摇晃晃 船已入港
Rocking and swaying, the ship has docked
我不忍为难 问谁在等你靠岸
I can't bear to ask, who waits for you to come ashore?
一圈戒痕 在你指上
A circle of ring marks on your finger
目送你 越走越远的 悲伤
Watching you walk away, this sadness grows ever more distant
