这风铃 跟心动很接近
This wind chime is so close to my heartbeat,
这封信 还在怀念旅行
This letter still cherishes the travels,
路过的爱情 都太年轻
The love that passed by was all too young,
你是我 想要再回去的风景
You are the scenery I long to return to,
这别离 被瓶装成秘密
This farewell bottled up as a secret,
这雏菊 美得像诗句
These daisies are beautiful like verses,
而我在风中 等你的消息
And I wait for your news in the wind,
等月光落雪地 等枫红染秋季 等相遇
Waiting for the moonlight to fall on the snow, waiting for maple leaves to dye the autumn, waiting for our meeting.
我重温午后的阳光
I relive the sunlight of the afternoon,
将吉他斜揹在肩上
With the guitar slung over my shoulder.
跟多年前一样
Just like many years ago
我们轻轻的唱 去任何地方
We softly sing, going anywhere
我看著你的脸 轻刷著和弦
I gaze at your face, gently strumming the chords
情人节卡片 手写的永远
Valentine's cards, handwritten forever
还记得 广场公园一起表演
Still remember performing together in the square park
校园旁糖果店 记忆里在微甜
The candy store by the campus, sweet in my memories
我看著你的脸 轻刷著和弦
I gaze at your face, gently strumming the chords
初恋是 整遍手写的从前
First love is a handwritten past all over
还记得 那年秋天说了再见
Still remember, that autumn when we said goodbye
当恋情已走远 我将你深埋在心里面
When the romance has drifted far, I bury you deep within my heart
微风需要竹林 溪流需要蜻蜓
The breeze needs the bamboo grove, the stream needs the dragonfly.
乡愁般的离开 需要片片浮萍
A farewell like homesickness needs drifting duckweed.
记得那年的雨季 回忆里特安静
I remember that rainy season, so peaceful in my memories.
哭过后的决定 是否还能进行
The decision after the tears, can it still move forward?
我傻傻等待 傻傻等春暖花开
I foolishly wait, foolishly for spring's warm bloom.
等终等于等明等白 等爱情回来
Waiting means waiting for tomorrow, waiting for love to return.
青春属于表白 阳光属于窗台
Youth belongs to the confession, sunshine belongs to the windowsill.
而我想我属于 一个拥有你的未来
And I think I belong to a future that holds you.
纸上的彩虹 用素描画的钟
The rainbow on paper, drawn with a pencil's hand.
我还在修改 回忆之中你的笑容
I’m still revising, your smile within my memories.
该怎么去形容 为思念酝酿的痛
How to describe the pain brewed by longing
夜空霓虹 都是我不要的繁荣
The neon lights of the night sky are the prosperity I don’t desire
或许去趟沙滩 或许去看看夕阳
Maybe a trip to the beach, maybe to watch the sunset
或许任何一个可以想心事的地方
Or perhaps any place where I can ponder my thoughts
情绪在咖啡馆 被调成一篇文章
Emotions at the café, transformed into an article
彻底爱上 你如诗一般透明的泪光
Totally in love with your tears, transparent like poetry
我看著你的脸 轻刷著和弦
I gaze at your face, lightly brushing the chords
情人节卡片 手写的永远
A handwritten forever in a Valentine card
还记得广场公园 一起表演
Still remember the square park, performing together
校园旁糖果店 记忆里在微甜
The candy store by the campus, sweetly lingering in my memories
我看著你的脸 轻刷著和弦
I gaze at your face, softly brushing the chords,
初恋是整遍 手写的从前
First love is a handwritten memory of the past,
还记得那年秋天 说了再见
I still remember that autumn when we said goodbye,
当恋情已走远 我将你深埋在 心里面
When love has drifted far, I bury you deep within my heart,
我重温午后 的阳光
I relive the afternoon sunshine,
将吉他斜揹 在肩上
With my guitar slung casually over my shoulder,
跟多年前一样 我们轻轻的唱
Just like years ago, we sing gently,
去任何地方
To anywhere we desire,
我看著你的脸 轻刷著和弦
I gaze at your face, softly brushing the chords,
情人节卡片 手写的永远
Valentine's Day card, handwritten forever.
还记得广场公园 一起表演
Do you remember the plaza park where we performed together?
校园旁糖果店 记忆里在微甜
The candy shop by the school, sweet memories linger.
我看著你的脸 轻刷著和弦
I gaze at your face, lightly brushing the chords.
初恋是整遍 手写的从前
First love was a handwritten story of the past.
还记得那年秋天 说了再见
Do you recall that autumn when we said goodbye?
当恋情已走远 我将你深埋在 心里面
When love has drifted far away, I deeply bury you in my heart.
