花开忘忧 lyrics with English translation

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.
