Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

生活刻琢了容顏 天真被逐漸刪減

Life carves out our appearance, innocence gradually fades away

人們將負累都歸咎於時間

People blame all their burdens on time

然而成熟能成全 果實它該有的甜

Yet growing up brings the sweetness nature's fruit deserves

只為時間慫恿季節的改變

Just because time encourages the change of seasons

信誓旦旦的宣言 色調會逐年變淺

Promises made with resolve, colors gradually fade over the years

人們將缺憾都怪罪於時間

People blame all regrets on time

然而成長到成年 淚痕之所以復原

Yet as we grow into adults, tears leave marks because they've healed

只為時間稀釋傷感的根源

It's because time softens the roots of sadness

如果 愛情是場 遠程的渦旋

If love is a distant whirlwind

僅管 繞著圈子 也要走向前

Even if we go in circles, we must keep moving forward

不離心太遠 我要面朝最藍的晴天

Don't drift too far from your heart; I want to face the bluest sky

不脫離軌道有你在身邊

Stay on track, with you by my side

如果 生命是場 寂寞的渦旋

If life is a lonely whirlwind

不管 千迴百轉 方向不會偏

No matter how many twists and turns, the direction won't stray

起飛前看一眼 每張我愛過的臉

Taking a look at each face I loved before taking off

每個交錯和無緣 都在潛意識挑選

Every intersection and chance encounter are subconsciously chosen

對的時間點

At the right moment in time

...

...

從前未來的關聯 拉開記憶才明顯

The connection between the past and future reveals itself only when memories are unfolded

你我都出現在最好的時間

You and I both appeared at the perfect time

不然相逢到相連 為何像有過預演

Otherwise, why do our meetings feel like pre-rehearsed scenes we’ve played before

只為時間是串起兩人的線

It's only because time is the thread that connects us

如果 愛情是場 遠程的渦旋

If love is a distant whirlwind

僅管 繞著圈子 也要走向前

Even if we go in circles, we must keep moving forward

不離心太遠 我要面朝最藍的晴天

Don't drift too far from your heart; I want to face the bluest sky

不脫離軌道有你在身邊

Stay on track, with you by my side

如果 生命是場 寂寞的渦旋

If life is a lonely whirlwind

不管 千迴百轉 方向不會偏

No matter how many twists and turns, the direction won't stray

起飛前看一眼 每張我愛過的臉

Taking a look at each face I loved before taking off

每個交錯和無緣 都在潛意識挑選

Every intersection and chance encounter are subconsciously chosen

對的時間點

At the right moment in time

對的時間點

At the right moment in time

對的時間點

At the right moment in time
