給我一首歌的時間

• By: 周杰倫
• Album: Shí'èr Xīn Zuò

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

雨淋濕了天空 毀得很講究

The rain soaks the sky, ruined with finesse.

妳說妳不懂 為何在這時牽手

You say you don't understand, why hold hands at this moment?

我曬乾了沉默 悔得很衝動

I've dried up my silence, regretting it impulsively.

就算這是做錯 也只是怕錯過

Even if it's wrong, it's just the fear of missing out.

在一起叫 夢～

Being together is called a dream~

分開了叫 痛～

Being apart is called pain~

是不是說 沒有做完的夢最痛～

Is it true that the most painful thing is an unfinished dream~

迷路的後 果～

The consequence of getting lost~

我能承受 這最後的出口在愛過了才有

I can bear it; this final exit only exists after loving.

能不能給我一首歌的時間

Can you give me the time of one song?

緊緊的把那擁抱變成永遠

To tightly turn that embrace into forever.

在我的懷裡妳不用害怕失眠

In my arms, you don't need to fear insomnia.

哦如果妳想忘記我也能失憶

Oh, if you want to forget, I can also lose my memory.

能不能給我一首歌的時間

Can you give me the time of one song?

把故事聽到最後才說再見

To hear the story to the end before saying goodbye.

妳送我的眼淚 讓它留在雨天

The tears you gave me, let them stay in the rainy day.

哦越過妳劃的線我定了勇氣 的終點

Oh, crossing the line you drew, I set the finish line for courage.

Oh, crossing the line you drew, I set the finish line for courage.

哦妳說我不該不該 不該在這時候說了我愛妳

Oh, you say I shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't have said "I love you" at this moment.

要怎麼證明我沒有說謊的力氣 哦請告訴我

How can I prove I don't have the strength to lie? Oh, please tell me.

暫停算不算放棄 我只有一天的回憶

Does pausing count as giving up? I only have one day's memory.

You said I shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't have said I love you at this time.

要怎麼證明我沒有力氣 告訴我暫停算不算放棄

How can I prove that I have no strength, tell me, does pausing count as giving up?

妳說我不該不該 不該在這時才說愛妳

You said I shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't have said I love you just now.

要怎麼證明我沒有力氣 我只有一天的回憶

How can I prove that I have no strength? I only have one day's memory.
