  1. 夜曲

    Nocturne

  2. 一群嗜血的蚂蚁

    A swarm of bloodthirsty ants

  3. 被腐肉所吸引

    Drawn in by decaying flesh

  4. 我面无表情 看孤独的风景

    Expressionless, I gaze upon the lonely scenery

  5. 失去你 爱恨开始分明

    Losing you, love and hate become clear

  6. 失去你 还有什么事好关心

    Without you, what else is there to care about?

  7. 当鸽子不再象征和平

    When doves no longer symbolize peace

  8. 我终于被提醒

    I'm finally reminded

  1. 广场上喂食的是秃鹰

    In the square, what feeds is the vulture

  2. 我用漂亮的押韵

    I use beautiful rhymes

  3. 形容被掠夺一空的爱情

    Describing a love that's been stripped bare

  4. 啊 乌云开始遮蔽

    Ah, the dark clouds begin to cover

  5. 夜色不干净

    The night is not so pure

  6. 公园里 葬礼的回音

    In the park, echoes of a funeral

  7. 在漫天飞行

    Flying through the vast sky

  8. 送你的 白玫瑰

    The white rose I send to you

  9. 在纯黑的环境中凋零

    Withering in a pitch-black setting

  10. 乌鸦在树枝上诡异的很安静

    The crows on the branches, eerily still

  11. 静静听 我黑色的大衣

    Quietly listening to my black coat

  12. 想温暖你 日渐冰冷的回忆

    Wanting to warm you, the memories growing colder

  13. 走过的 走过的生命

    The life that's been walked through,

  14. 啊 四周弥漫雾气 啊

    Ah, the fog surrounds us, ah.

  15. 我在空旷的墓地

    I stand in the empty graveyard,

  16. 老去后还爱你

    Even after aging, I still love you.

  17. 为你弹奏萧邦的夜曲

    Playing Chopin's nocturne for you,

  18. 纪念我死去的爱情

    In memory of my lost love,

  19. 跟夜风一样的声音

    A voice like the night breeze,

  20. 心碎的很好听

    A heartbreak that sounds so sweet,

  21. 手在键盘敲很轻

    Hands dancing lightly on the keys,

  22. 我给的思念很小心

    The longing I give is done with care.

  23. 你埋葬的地方叫幽冥

    The place you buried is called the netherworld.

  24. 为你弹奏萧邦的夜曲

    I play Chopin's nocturne for you.

  25. 纪念我死去的爱情

    In memory of my lost love.

  26. 而我为你隐姓埋名

    And I hide my name for you.

  27. 在月光下弹琴

    Playing the piano under the moonlight.

  28. 对你心跳的感应

    Feeling the heartbeat that connects to you.

  29. 还是如此温热亲近

    Still so warm and close.

  30. 怀念你那鲜红的唇印

    I miss the imprint of your crimson lips.

  31. 那些断翅的蜻蜓

    Those dragonflies with broken wings.

  32. 散落在这森林

    Scattered throughout this forest.

  33. 而我的眼睛 没有丝毫同情

    And my eyes hold not a trace of compassion

  34. 失去你 泪水混浊不清

    Losing you, tears blur into murky streams

  35. 失去你 我连笑容都有阴影

    Losing you, even my smile is cast in shadow

  36. 风在长满青苔的屋顶

    The wind on roofs covered in green moss

  37. 嘲笑我的伤心

    Mocks my heartache

  38. 像一口没有水的枯井

    Like a dry well with no water

  39. 我用凄美的字型

    I use elegant scripts

  40. 描绘后悔莫及的爱情

    To sketch a love that came too late for regrets

  41. 为你弹奏萧邦的夜曲

    Playing Chopin's nocturne for you

  42. 纪念我死去的爱情

    In memory of my love that has perished

  43. 跟夜风一样的声音

    Like the sound of the night breeze,

  44. 心碎的很好听

    A heart shattering beautifully,

  45. 手在键盘敲很轻

    My hands tapping softly on the keys,

  46. 我给的思念很小心

    The longing I give is so careful,

  47. 你埋葬的地方叫幽冥

    The place you buried me is called the netherworld,

  48. 为你弹奏萧邦的夜曲

    Playing Chopin's nocturne for you,

  49. 纪念我死去的爱情

    In memory of my lost love,

  50. 而我为你隐姓埋名

    And I hide my name for you,

  51. 在月光下弹琴

    Playing under the moonlight,

  52. 对你心跳的感应

    Feeling the heartbeat for you.

  53. 还是如此温热亲近

    Still so warm and close

  54. 怀念你那鲜红的唇印

    I miss the imprint of your crimson lips

  55. 一群嗜血的蚂蚁

    A swarm of bloodthirsty ants

  56. 被腐肉所吸引

    Drawn to the scent of decay

  57. 我面无表情 看孤独的风景

    I wear a blank face, gazing at the lonely scenery

  58. 失去你 爱恨开始分明

    Losing you, love and hate become so clear

  59. 失去你 还有什么事好关心

    Without you, what else is there to care about?

  60. 当鸽子不再象征和平

    When doves no longer symbolize peace

  61. 我终于被提醒

    I am finally reminded

  62. 广场上喂食的是秃鹰

    In the square, they're feeding the vultures

  63. 我用漂亮的押韵

    I use beautiful rhymes,

  64. 形容被掠夺一空的爱情

    To describe a love that's been completely stripped away.
