步步

Step by step

词：阿信 ／ 曲：阿信、Cola Kai

词：阿信 ／ 曲：阿信、Cola Kai

空无一人的大街

An empty street

闯入无人婚纱店

Breaking into a deserted wedding dress shop

为妳披上雪白誓言

Draping a snow-white vow for you

世界已灰飞湮灭

The world has turned to ashes

而爱矗立高楼间

Yet love stands tall among the buildings

你是真的

Are you real

或是我的 幻觉

Or just my illusion

时光遗忘的背面

The forgotten side of time

独坐残破的台阶

Sitting alone on the broken steps

哪个乱世没有离别

Which chaotic era has no farewells

天空和我的中间

Between the sky and me

只剩倾盆的思念

Only pouring memories remain

如果相识

If we met

不能相恋

But cannot fall in love

是不是还不如擦肩

Isn't it better to just pass by

在失去你的风景里面

In the scenery of losing you

你却占据了每一条街

You occupy every street

一步步曾经

Step by step, once

一步步想念

Step by step, I miss you

在脚下蔓延

Spreading beneath my feet

在充满你的回忆里面

In the memories filled with you

我独自流浪海角天边

I wander alone to the ends of the earth

一步步走过

Step by step, I walk through

当时心愿

The wishes of that time

格林威治大钟前

In front of the Greenwich clock

归零超载的伤悲

The sadness of being overloaded to zero

背着我和我的诺言

Carrying my promises with me

一起计画的路线

The route we planned together

对照孤单的旅店

In contrast to the lonely inn

一声晚安

A good night

却又唤醒 泪腺

Yet awakens my tear ducts

时代广场的跨年

New Year's Eve at Times Square

颐和花季的蓝天

The blue sky of the summer at the Summer Palace

数着愿望在你指尖

Counting wishes at your fingertips

当时有多少心愿

How many wishes were there then

就有多少的残缺

There were as many flaws

如果后悔

If regretting

不能后退

Cannot go back

是不是就只能往前

Isn't it just moving forward

在失去你的风景里面

In the scenery of losing you

你却占据了每一条街

You occupy every street

一步步曾经

Step by step, once

一步步想念

Step by step, I miss you

在脚下蔓延

Spreading beneath my feet

在充满你的回忆里面

In the memories filled with you

我独自流浪海角天边

I wander alone to the ends of the earth

一步步走过

Step by step, I walk through

当时心愿

The wishes of that time

生如浮萍般卑微

Life is as humble as floating duckweed

爱却苍芎般壮烈

Yet love is as grand as a heroic spirit

我要为你爬上最险山岳

I want to climb the most perilous mountains for you

走过最崎岖眷恋

Walk through the most rugged affection

一步一步穿越

Step by step, I traverse

在失去你的风景里面

In the scenery of losing you

你却占据了整个世界

You occupy the whole world

每一张相片

Every photo

每一个房间

Every room

每一滴眼泪

Every tear

在充满你的回忆里面

In the memories filled with you

我独自一人和眼泪周旋

I alone wrestle with my tears

一步步走向

Step by step, I walk towards

孤单的明天

A lonely tomorrow

也许在来生的某个明天

Maybe in some tomorrow of the next life

我们能再写

We can write again

新的情节

A new plot

一步步完成

Step by step, I complete

当时心愿

The wishes of that time

一步步完成

Step by step, I complete

最美残缺

The most beautiful flaws
