巷子口 买了花
At the alley's mouth, I bought some flowers
穿过沿街红墙青瓦
Walking past the red walls and blue tiles
夕阳慢慢亲吻着 我的白发
The sunset slowly kisses my white hair
推开旧木门 回到家
I push open the old wooden door, back to home
把时光 都炖香
I simmer time, letting its fragrance bloom
而你只是笑 不说话
And you just smile, without a word
一件遗憾的事 就喝一碗汤
For every regret, we just sip a bowl of soup
庭院深深 秋叶飘落
In the deep courtyard, autumn leaves drift down
我们苍老的时候 就回到小时候
When we grow old, we'll return to our childhood
采青梅用来酿酒你 不许偷着喝
Picking green plums to brew wine, you mustn't sneak a sip
穿朴素的衣裳 牵着那衣袖
Dressed in simple garments, holding onto that sleeve
捡了小猫 名为苍狗
I picked up a little cat, named it Cangou
我们睡去的时候 像孩子无忧愁
When we drift off to sleep, like carefree little ones
反正也很难上锁这 岁月如小偷
Anyway, it's hard to lock this, time steals away like a thief
若记忆被偷走了 忘了我的爱
If memories are stolen, forget my love
我会说:你好啊
I would say: Hello there
这是给 你的花
This is a flower for you
花的名字叫忘忧草
The flower is called the Forget-Me-Not
它说时光汹涌 如水上烟波
It says time surges, like waves floating on water
别走远了 一起回家
Don't wander too far, let's go home together
我们苍老的时候 就回到小时候
When we grow old, we'll return to our childhood days,
采青梅用来酿酒你 不许偷着喝
Picking green plums to brew, you mustn’t sneak a drink,
穿朴素的衣裳 牵着那衣袖
Wearing simple clothes, holding onto those sleeves,
捡了小猫 名为苍狗
Found a little cat, named it Cang Gou,
我们睡去的时候 像孩子无忧愁
As we drift off to sleep, carefree like children,
在梦里做个梦 看见你我都老了
In dreams, we dream a dream, seeing you and me grown old,
那永恒没骗我 离散也没有
That eternity didn’t deceive me, and neither did parting,
这份爱只是活在 另外时空
This love simply exists in another time and space,
如果 每一声再见 会开启 一个新的空间
If every goodbye could open up a new dimension,
每做一个梦 是时空 偶尔的重叠
Every dream we dream is a moment in time, occasionally overlapping.
你好吗?离开的人啊
How are you? The one who's gone, ah,
请帮我 相爱到剧终
Please help me love until the end of the show.
忘忧草 开着花
Forget-me-not blooms bright,
你在月光下 不说话
You under the moonlight, silent and still.
一件遗憾的事 就喝一杯茶
For every bittersweet moment, let's sip a cup of tea.
庭院深深 秋叶飘落
In the deep courtyard, autumn leaves fall softly.
