[English]

Our memories together

Are all carefully collected

I always secretly cry

Like a tired bird lost without a return

I wish the love I believe in

Has its ending tightly in my hands

Time passes quickly but doesn't erase the past

...

Hope we’ll have a bright future

And expectations big enough for the starry sky

But why does reality make me feel so exhausted

I always remember how we ignored falling leaves and the crowd when we met

It was you who made me brave, no longer just a speck of dust

It was you who often helped me care for my potted dreams

Every day we’re so happy

Until the sky darkened and we watched the sunset, helpless to stay

I know you love collecting stamps, smiling, and even daydreaming

I know you’re afraid of grass bugs and monsters at night

I like your distracted, absent-minded state

It’s like a kid back at seven years old

How do I confess my feelings to you?

Loving but afraid to love

Until the entire universe

Wakes up anxious and frantic for me

Like dawn breaking after darkness

Our memories together

Are all carefully collected

I always secretly cry

Like a tired bird lost without a return

I wish the love I believe in

Has its ending tightly in my hands

Time flies by but the past remains

...

That day, you promised to accept my love at the street corner after the rain

That moment, my world gained color

This lifetime I’ll never forget about you in tranquil blue

Like a gift quietly presented in my life

We played games from dawn all day

Watching my favorite dramas at night

Being able to have these is enough luck

I no longer expect anything else

We often argue and don’t answer each other’s calls

Finally, coldness reached us in the same room

I’ve thought about a future with no one to care

Throwing away love, leaving only cruel scars

And those dreams you gave me and the flowers you taught me to fold

Fleeing the hot summer

Lighting fireworks for me in the night sky’s fade

When lonely, let me piece together happiness

Our memories together

Are all carefully collected

I always secretly cry

Like a tired bird lost without a return

I wish the love I believe in

Has its ending tightly in my hands

Time flies by but the past remains

We can grow up like children

Always fearless, moving forward without hesitation into the unknown

Turns out, we strive every day to become seemingly grown-ups

Just to cross mountains and oceans together

Back then, I prayed daily to make this dream come true

Are you doing well now?

Do you still love to laugh like before?

Are you feeling good now?

When you openly told me to let go

Are you doing okay now?

Do you still have that endless tenderness like before?

Are you doing well now?

Hope you keep a moon-like heart, love yourself

Our memories together

Are all carefully collected

I always secretly cry

Like a tired bird lost without a return

I wish the love I believe in

Has its ending tightly in my hands

Time passes quickly but doesn't erase the past

Alone, I gather memories between us

Even though every time I reach this point, I cry

Why has everything become so impossible to go back to?

But I still want to thank you for giving me love

Every scene is proof of our love

Even now, separated by miles, I wish you a happy life

Alone, I gather memories between us

Even though every time I reach this point, I cry

Why has everything become so impossible to go back to?

But I still want to thank you for giving me love

Every scene is proof of our love

Even now, separated by miles, I’ll piece the memories together for you

...

[Chinese]

我们之间的回忆

全部都小心地收集

我总是偷偷地哭泣

像倦鸟失了归期

但愿我相信的爱情

结局紧握在我手心

时光匆匆却没有遗失过去

希望我们 有光明的未来

还有能够装下星空的期待

可现实为何让我感到如此懈怠

总怀念相遇时我们无视落叶和人海

是你让我勇敢不再像颗尘埃

是你常帮我照料装着梦的盆栽

每一天我们都是如此愉快

一直到天色渐晚看着落日无奈离开

我知道你爱集邮爱笑甚至爱发呆

我知道你怕草虫还有夜晚的妖怪

我喜欢你有一点心不在焉的状态

看起来像个回到七岁时候的小孩

该如何将我这份感情向你告白

喜欢却又不敢爱

直到整个宇宙

在为我焦虑失神慌张之中醒来

就像是黑暗过后黎明盛开

我们之间的回忆

全部都小心地收集

我总是偷偷地哭泣

像倦鸟失了归期

但愿我相信的爱情

结局紧握在我手心

时光匆匆却没有遗失过去

那天你在雨后街角答应接受我的爱

那一刻我的世界有了色彩

这一生无法忘记关于澄蓝色的你

像一份礼物悄然呈现在我的境遇

我们从清晨起玩一整天游戏

到夜晚一起看我最爱的剧

能够拥有这些已足够幸运

我已经不再期待其他什么东西

我们也经常争执互相不接电话

在同一房间终于呼叫冷漠抵达

也曾想过以后生活没有人牵挂

把爱扔掉只剩一块残酷伤疤

而那些你送我的梦 教我折的花

逃亡的盛夏

在夜空隐没之际为我点燃烟花

寂寞时让我把快乐拼起来吧

我们之间的回忆

全部都小心地收集

我总是偷偷地哭泣

像倦鸟失了归期

但愿我相信的爱情

结局紧握在我手心

时光匆匆却没有遗失过去

我们可以就像是孩子一样成长

永远无所畏惧义无反顾向着未知的前方

原来我们每天努力长成看似大人的模样

为了可以一起跨越山和海洋

那时的我每天都祈祷 实现这个梦想

现在的你还好吗

是否还会像从前一样的爱笑

现在的你还好吗

当你径直在我面前坦言放下

现在的你还好吗

是否像从前一样有无限的温柔啊

现在的你还好吗

愿你能保持月亮般的心 要爱自己啊

我们之间的回忆

全部都小心地收集

我总是偷偷地哭泣

像倦鸟失了归期

但愿我相信的爱情

结局紧握在我手心

时光匆匆却没有遗失过去

独自收集两个人之间的回忆

即使每当到这时候我都会哭泣

为何一切 变得如此 无法回到过去

但我仍愿意感谢你给过我爱情

每一场风景都是我们爱的证明

就算如今 天各一方 祝你余生动听啊

独自收集两个人之间的回忆

即使每当到这时候我都会哭泣

为何一切 变得如此 无法回到过去

但我仍愿意感谢你给过我爱情

每一场风景都是我们爱的证明

就算如今 天各一方 把回忆拼好给你

Key Grammar Structures

• 我们之间的回忆 全部都小心地收集

  ➔ Subject-Predicate-Object (SVO) structure with adverbial modifier

  ➔ The sentence demonstrates the basic SVO structure in Chinese. "我们之间的回忆" (wǒmen zhī jiān de huíyì) is the subject (our memories), "收集" (shōují) is the verb (collect), and the adverbial phrase "全部都小心地" (quánbù dōu xiǎoxīn de) modifies how the collection is done (carefully).

• 像倦鸟失了归期

  ➔ Simile using "像" (xiàng) + Verb-Object phrase

  ➔ This line uses the simile "像" (xiàng, like) to compare the speaker's feeling to a tired bird that has lost its way home. "倦鸟" (juànniǎo) means tired bird, and "失了归期" (shī le guīqí) means to have lost the time of returning.

• 但愿我相信的爱情 结局紧握在我手心

  ➔ "但愿" (dàn yuàn) expressing a wish + Complex sentence structure with result clause

  ➔ "但愿" (dàn yuàn) expresses a hopeful wish. The whole sentence is a complex sentence where "我相信的爱情" (wǒ xiāngxìn de àiqíng, the love I believe in) is the subject and "结局紧握在我手心" (jiéjú jǐn wò zài wǒ shǒuxīn, the ending is firmly held in my hand) is the predicate, showing the hoped-for result.

• 希望我们 有光明的未来 还有能够装下星空的期待

  ➔ Parallel structure with "还有" (háiyǒu) linking two noun phrases functioning as objects.

  ➔ The sentence expresses a hope for two things: "光明的未来" (guāngmíng de wèilái, a bright future) and "能够装下星空的期待" (nénggòu zhuāng xià xīngkōng de qídài, expectations that can hold the starry sky). "还有" (háiyǒu) acts as a connector, emphasizing the parallelism between these two objects of hope.

• 可现实为何让我感到如此懈怠

  ➔ Rhetorical question using "为何" (wèihé) indicating contrast with previous positive wishes.

  ➔ "为何" (wèihé, why) introduces a rhetorical question expressing a sense of contrast with the previous hopeful lines. It highlights the feeling of listlessness caused by reality, contrasting with the desire for a bright future.

• 直到整个宇宙 在为我焦虑失神慌张之中醒来

  ➔ Use of "直到...才"(zhídào...cái) structure, implying that something didn't happen until a certain point.

  ➔ Although "才"(cái) isn't explicitly in the sentence, the meaning is there implicitly. The sentence suggests that not until the entire universe was filled with anxiety, distraction, and panic did the speaker wake up. The implication is that this realization took a long time, emphasizing the depth of the speaker's feelings.

• 就像是黑暗过后黎明盛开

  ➔ Simile construction: "就像是" (jiù xiàng shì) meaning 'just like' or 'it's like' followed by a noun phrase.

  ➔ The phrase "就像是" (jiù xiàng shì) introduces a simile to create a vivid image. "黑暗过后黎明盛开" (hēi'àn guòhòu límíng shèngkāi) portrays the image of dawn blooming after darkness, suggesting hope and renewal after a period of difficulty.
