夜曲
Nocturne
一群嗜血的蚂蚁
A swarm of bloodthirsty ants
被腐肉所吸引
Drawn in by decaying flesh
我面无表情 看孤独的风景
Expressionless, I gaze upon the lonely scenery
失去你 爱恨开始分明
Losing you, love and hate become clear
失去你 还有什么事好关心
Without you, what else is there to care about?
当鸽子不再象征和平
When doves no longer symbolize peace
我终于被提醒
I'm finally reminded
广场上喂食的是秃鹰
In the square, what feeds is the vulture
我用漂亮的押韵
I use beautiful rhymes
形容被掠夺一空的爱情
Describing a love that's been stripped bare
啊 乌云开始遮蔽
Ah, the dark clouds begin to cover
夜色不干净
The night is not so pure
公园里 葬礼的回音
In the park, echoes of a funeral
在漫天飞行
Flying through the vast sky
送你的 白玫瑰
The white rose I send to you
在纯黑的环境中凋零
Withering in a pitch-black setting
乌鸦在树枝上诡异的很安静
The crows on the branches, eerily still
静静听 我黑色的大衣
Quietly listening to my black coat
想温暖你 日渐冰冷的回忆
Wanting to warm you, the memories growing colder
走过的 走过的生命
The life that's been walked through,
啊 四周弥漫雾气 啊
Ah, the fog surrounds us, ah.
我在空旷的墓地
I stand in the empty graveyard,
老去后还爱你
Even after aging, I still love you.
为你弹奏萧邦的夜曲
Playing Chopin's nocturne for you,
纪念我死去的爱情
In memory of my lost love,
跟夜风一样的声音
A voice like the night breeze,
心碎的很好听
A heartbreak that sounds so sweet,
手在键盘敲很轻
Hands dancing lightly on the keys,
我给的思念很小心
The longing I give is done with care.
你埋葬的地方叫幽冥
The place you buried is called the netherworld.
为你弹奏萧邦的夜曲
I play Chopin's nocturne for you.
纪念我死去的爱情
In memory of my lost love.
而我为你隐姓埋名
And I hide my name for you.
在月光下弹琴
Playing the piano under the moonlight.
对你心跳的感应
Feeling the heartbeat that connects to you.
还是如此温热亲近
Still so warm and close.
怀念你那鲜红的唇印
I miss the imprint of your crimson lips.
那些断翅的蜻蜓
Those dragonflies with broken wings.
散落在这森林
Scattered throughout this forest.
而我的眼睛 没有丝毫同情
And my eyes hold not a trace of compassion
失去你 泪水混浊不清
Losing you, tears blur into murky streams
失去你 我连笑容都有阴影
Losing you, even my smile is cast in shadow
风在长满青苔的屋顶
The wind on roofs covered in green moss
嘲笑我的伤心
Mocks my heartache
像一口没有水的枯井
Like a dry well with no water
我用凄美的字型
I use elegant scripts
描绘后悔莫及的爱情
To sketch a love that came too late for regrets
为你弹奏萧邦的夜曲
Playing Chopin's nocturne for you
纪念我死去的爱情
In memory of my love that has perished
跟夜风一样的声音
Like the sound of the night breeze,
心碎的很好听
A heart shattering beautifully,
手在键盘敲很轻
My hands tapping softly on the keys,
我给的思念很小心
The longing I give is so careful,
你埋葬的地方叫幽冥
The place you buried me is called the netherworld,
为你弹奏萧邦的夜曲
Playing Chopin's nocturne for you,
纪念我死去的爱情
In memory of my lost love,
而我为你隐姓埋名
And I hide my name for you,
在月光下弹琴
Playing under the moonlight,
对你心跳的感应
Feeling the heartbeat for you.
还是如此温热亲近
Still so warm and close
怀念你那鲜红的唇印
I miss the imprint of your crimson lips
一群嗜血的蚂蚁
A swarm of bloodthirsty ants
被腐肉所吸引
Drawn to the scent of decay
我面无表情 看孤独的风景
I wear a blank face, gazing at the lonely scenery
失去你 爱恨开始分明
Losing you, love and hate become so clear
失去你 还有什么事好关心
Without you, what else is there to care about?
当鸽子不再象征和平
When doves no longer symbolize peace
我终于被提醒
I am finally reminded
广场上喂食的是秃鹰
In the square, they're feeding the vultures
我用漂亮的押韵
I use beautiful rhymes,
形容被掠夺一空的爱情
To describe a love that's been completely stripped away.
