  1. 海天 连线的 地方是那夕阳

    Where the sea and sky connect is that sunset.

  2. 木造 的甲板一整遍 是那金黄

    The wooden deck stretches wide, glowing in gold.

  3. 你背光 的轮廓就像剪影一样

    Your backlit silhouette resembles a shadow.

  4. 充满着想象 任谁都 会爱上

    Filled with imagination, anyone would fall in love.

  5. 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.

  6. 竟有一种

    There is a kind of

  7. 属于中世纪才有的浪漫

    Romance that belongs to the Middle Ages.

  8. 微笑眺望远方 是你的习惯

    Smiling and gazing into the distance, it's your habit.

  1. 古典钢琴 在敲打 小小的那哀伤

    The classical piano strikes a little sadness.

  2. 你的眼神 隐约中有着不安不安

    In your gaze, there’s a hint of unease.

  3. 你不敢不敢

    You don't dare, you don't dare

  4. 继续的暧昧喜欢 你泪化了妆

    The lingering affection continues, your tears have turned to make-up

  5. 不舍全写在脸上

    All the reluctance written on your face

  6. 摇摇晃晃 船已入港

    Rocking and swaying, the ship has reached the harbor

  7. 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?

  8. 一圈戒痕 在你指上

    A circle of ring marks on your finger

  9. 目送你 越走越远的 悲伤

    Watching you, walking further away, the sadness

  10. 我害怕 故事走不到一半

    I'm afraid the story won’t make it halfway

  11. 你心里早就已经有了答案

    You’ve had the answer in your heart for a long time

  12. 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

  13. 我不过问 只是彼此 的心被捆绑

    I won't ask, just our hearts bound together

  14. 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

  15. 你心里面

    Inside your heart

  16. 却有一个不透明的地方

    There’s a place shrouded in shadow

  17. 浪倒映月光 足迹遗留在沙滩

    Waves reflect the moonlight, footprints left on the sand

  18. 留遗憾在码头上

    Leaving regrets at the dock

  19. 空气弥漫着怀旧时光

    The air is filled with the scent of nostalgic times

  20. 我看见 呵护着你的那个 对象

    I see the one protecting you

  21. 我的和弦

    My chord

  22. 开始慢板的沧桑 你泪化了妆

    Begins with a slow, poignant touch, your tears smudging your makeup

  23. 不舍全写在脸上

    The reluctance written all over your face

  24. 摇摇晃晃 船已入港

    Rocking and swaying, the ship has docked

  25. 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?

  26. 一圈戒痕 在你指上

    A circle of ring marks on your finger

  27. 目送你 越走越远的 悲伤

    Watching you walk away, this sadness grows ever more distant

  28. 你泪化了妆 不舍全写在脸上

    Your tears have smudged your makeup, reluctance painted on your face

  29. 摇摇晃晃 船已入港

    Rocking and swaying, the ship has docked

  30. 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?

  31. 一圈戒痕 在你指上

    A circle of ring marks on your finger

  32. 目送你 越走越远的 悲伤

    Watching you walk away, this sadness grows ever more distant
