街灯下的橱窗
The shop window beneath the streetlight
有一种落寞的温暖
Holds a kind of lonely warmth
吐气在玻璃上
Breath on the glass
画著妳的模样
Sketching out your face
开著车漫无目的的转弯
Driving aimlessly, making turns
不知要去哪个地方
Not knowing where to go
闹区的电视墙
The TV wall in the bustling district
到底有谁在看?
Who's really watching it?
白杨木影子被拉长
The shadow of the white poplar stretches long
像我对妳的思念走不完
Like my endless longing for you
原来我从未习惯
Turns out I've never gotten used to it
妳已不在我身旁
You are no longer by my side
街道的铁门被拉上
The iron gates of the street have been pulled shut
只剩转角霓虹灯还在闪
Only the corner's neon lights are still flashing
这城市的小巷
In the alleys of this city
雨下一整晚
The rain fell all night long
妳撑把小纸伞
You held a little paper umbrella
叹姻缘太婉转
Sighing that fate is too elusive
雨落下雾茫茫
As the rain falls, the mist is thick
问天涯在何方
I ask where the horizon lies
午夜笛 笛声残
At midnight, the flute's sound fades away
偷偷透 透过窗
Stealthily peeking through the window
烛台前 我嘛还在想
Before the candlestick, I'm still pondering
小舢舨 划啊划
Little boat, row and row
小纸伞 遮雨也遮月光
Little paper umbrella, shielding from the rain and moonlight too
白杨木影子被拉长
The shadow of the poplar stretches long
像我对妳的思念走不完
Like my unending longing for you
原来我从未习惯
Turns out I've never grown accustomed
妳已不在我身旁
You are no longer by my side
街道的铁门被拉上
The iron gate of the street is drawn shut
只剩转角霓虹灯还在闪
Only the neon lights at the corner keep flashing,
这城市的小巷
In the alleys of this city,
雨下一整晚
The rain fell all night long.
