Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

我们之间的回忆

Our memories together

全部都小心地收集

Are all carefully collected

我总是偷偷地哭泣

I always secretly cry

像倦鸟失了归期

Like a tired bird lost without a return

但愿我相信的爱情

I wish the love I believe in

结局紧握在我手心

Has its ending tightly in my hands

时光匆匆却没有遗失过去

Time passes quickly but doesn't erase the past

...

...

希望我们 有光明的未来

Hope we’ll have a bright future

还有能够装下星空的期待

And expectations big enough for the starry sky

可现实为何让我感到如此懈怠

But why does reality make me feel so exhausted

总怀念相遇时我们无视落叶和人海

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

是你让我勇敢不再像颗尘埃

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

是你常帮我照料装着梦的盆栽

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

每一天我们都是如此愉快

Every day we’re so happy

一直到天色渐晚看着落日无奈离开

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

我知道你爱集邮爱笑甚至爱发呆

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

我知道你怕草虫还有夜晚的妖怪

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

我喜欢你有一点心不在焉的状态

I like your distracted, absent-minded state

看起来像个回到七岁时候的小孩

It’s like a kid back at seven years old

该如何将我这份感情向你告白

How do I confess my feelings to you?

喜欢却又不敢爱

Loving but afraid to love

直到整个宇宙

Until the entire universe

在为我焦虑失神慌张之中醒来

Wakes up anxious and frantic for me

就像是黑暗过后黎明盛开

Like dawn breaking after darkness

我们之间的回忆

Our memories together

全部都小心地收集

Are all carefully collected

我总是偷偷地哭泣

I always secretly cry

像倦鸟失了归期

Like a tired bird lost without a return

但愿我相信的爱情

I wish the love I believe in

结局紧握在我手心

Has its ending tightly in my hands

时光匆匆却没有遗失过去

Time flies by but the past remains

...

...

那天你在雨后街角答应接受我的爱

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

那一刻我的世界有了色彩

That moment, my world gained color

这一生无法忘记关于澄蓝色的你

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

像一份礼物悄然呈现在我的境遇

Like a gift quietly presented in my life

我们从清晨起玩一整天游戏

We played games from dawn all day

到夜晚一起看我最爱的剧

Watching my favorite dramas at night

能够拥有这些已足够幸运

Being able to have these is enough luck

我已经不再期待其他什么东西

I no longer expect anything else

我们也经常争执互相不接电话

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

在同一房间终于呼叫冷漠抵达

Finally, coldness reached us in the same room

也曾想过以后生活没有人牵挂

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

把爱扔掉只剩一块残酷伤疤

Throwing away love, leaving only cruel scars

而那些你送我的梦 教我折的花

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

逃亡的盛夏

Fleeing the hot summer

在夜空隐没之际为我点燃烟花

Lighting fireworks for me in the night sky’s fade

寂寞时让我把快乐拼起来吧

When lonely, let me piece together happiness

我们之间的回忆

Our memories together

全部都小心地收集

Are all carefully collected

我总是偷偷地哭泣

I always secretly cry

像倦鸟失了归期

Like a tired bird lost without a return

但愿我相信的爱情

I wish the love I believe in

结局紧握在我手心

Has its ending tightly in my hands

时光匆匆却没有遗失过去

Time flies by but the past remains

我们可以就像是孩子一样成长

We can grow up like children

永远无所畏惧义无反顾向着未知的前方

Always fearless, moving forward without hesitation into the unknown

原来我们每天努力长成看似大人的模样

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

为了可以一起跨越山和海洋

Just to cross mountains and oceans together

那时的我每天都祈祷 实现这个梦想

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

现在的你还好吗

Are you doing well now?

是否还会像从前一样的爱笑

Do you still love to laugh like before?

现在的你还好吗

Are you feeling good now?

当你径直在我面前坦言放下

When you openly told me to let go

现在的你还好吗

Are you doing okay now?

是否像从前一样有无限的温柔啊

Do you still have that endless tenderness like before?

现在的你还好吗

Are you doing well now?

愿你能保持月亮般的心 要爱自己啊

Hope you keep a moon-like heart, love yourself

我们之间的回忆

Our memories together

全部都小心地收集

Are all carefully collected

我总是偷偷地哭泣

I always secretly cry

像倦鸟失了归期

Like a tired bird lost without a return

但愿我相信的爱情

I wish the love I believe in

结局紧握在我手心

Has its ending tightly in my hands

时光匆匆却没有遗失过去

Time passes quickly but doesn't erase the past

独自收集两个人之间的回忆

Alone, I gather memories between us

即使每当到这时候我都会哭泣

Even though every time I reach this point, I cry

为何一切 变得如此 无法回到过去

Why has everything become so impossible to go back to?

但我仍愿意感谢你给过我爱情

But I still want to thank you for giving me love

每一场风景都是我们爱的证明

Every scene is proof of our love

就算如今 天各一方 祝你余生动听啊

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

独自收集两个人之间的回忆

Alone, I gather memories between us

即使每当到这时候我都会哭泣

Even though every time I reach this point, I cry

为何一切 变得如此 无法回到过去

Why has everything become so impossible to go back to?

但我仍愿意感谢你给过我爱情

But I still want to thank you for giving me love

每一场风景都是我们爱的证明

Every scene is proof of our love

就算如今 天各一方 把回忆拼好给你

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

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.
