Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

然後呢

And then?

他們說你的心 似乎痊癒了

They say your heart seems to have healed.

也開始有個人 為你守護著

And someone has started to protect you.

我該心安或是 心痛呢

Should I feel at ease or should I feel pain?

然後呢

And then?

其實我的日子 也還可以呢

Actually, my days are still bearable.

除了回憶肆虐 的某些時刻

Except for certain moments when memories run wild.

慶幸還有眼淚 沖淡苦澀

I'm grateful that there are still tears to wash away the bitterness.

而那些昨日 依然繽紛著

And those yesterdays are still vibrant.

它們都有我 細心收藏著

They are all carefully collected by me.

也許你還記得 也許你都忘了

Maybe you still remember, maybe you've forgotten.

也不是那麽 重要了

It's not that important anymore.

只期待 後來的你 能快樂

I just hope that the you of later can be happy.

那就是 後來的我 最想的

That's what I wish for the most in my later self.

後來的我們 依然走著

The us of later are still walking.

只是不再並肩了

Just not side by side anymore.

朝各自的人生 追尋了

Chasing our own lives.

無論是 後來故事 怎麽了

No matter what happened to the later story,

也要讓 後來人生 精彩著

We must make the later life wonderful.

後來的我們 我期待著

I look forward to the us of later.

淚水中能看到 你真的 自由了

In tears, I can see that you are truly free now.

...

...

親愛的

Dear,

回憶我們共同 走過的曲折

Remember the twists and turns we walked together?

是那些帶我們 來到了這一刻

Those are what brought us to this moment.

讓珍貴的人生 有失有得

Letting our precious lives have gains and losses.

用新的幸福 把遺憾包著

Wrapping regrets with new happiness.

就這麽朝著 未來前進了

And moving forward towards the future.

有再多的不捨 也要狠心割捨

No matter how much reluctance there is, we must be ruthless in letting go.

別回頭看我 親愛的

Don't look back at me, dear.

只期待 後來的你 能快樂

I just hope that the you of later can be happy.

那就是 後來的我 最想的

That's what I wish for the most in my later self.

後來的我們 依然走著

The us of later are still walking.

只是不再並肩了

Just not side by side anymore.

朝各自的人生 追尋了

Chasing our own lives.

無論是 後來故事 怎麽了

No matter what happened to the later story,

也要讓 後來人生 精彩著

We must make the later life wonderful.

後來的我們 我期待著

I look forward to the us of later.

淚水中能看到 你真的 幸福快樂

In tears, I can see that you are truly happy now.

...

...

在某處 另一個你 留下了

Somewhere, another you has left.

在那裏 另一個我 微笑著

There, another me is smiling.

另一個我們 還深愛著

Another us is still deeply in love.

代替我們永恒著

Replacing us eternally.

如果能這麽想 就夠了

If I can think this way, that's enough.

無論是 後來故事 怎麽了

No matter what happened to the later story,

也要讓 後來人生 值得

We must make the later life worthwhile.

後來的我們 我期待著

I look forward to the us of later.

淚水中能看到 你真的 自由了

In tears, I can see that you are truly free now.
