Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

半杯水 有緣無份消失一半去

A half glass of water, fated but never meant to be, disappears.

我仍然含淚想起誰 一再渴望相聚

I still hold back tears, thinking of someone, longing again to be together.

仍見字喝水 為誰

Still see the words, drinking water, for whom?

喝苦水 我們同樣為分開淌淚

Drinking bitter water, we both shed tears over leaving.

但不懂沖散顧慮 凝住淚水

But don’t know how to wash away worries, holding back tears.

無力逆轉跟你往事逝如水

Powerless to reverse the past, as waters flow away.

好好哭出眼淚 遺憾仍在心裡

Crie your heart out, tears still remain in my heart.

好好哭乾眼淚 溶掉全部過去

Cry it all out, dry your tears, let go of the past.

沉淪靠你還原的心碎 怎可以由他去

Falling into despair, rely on you to restore my broken heart, how can I let him take it?

總鬧情緒 不自覺吐苦水

Always feeling upset, unconsciously venting my bitterness.

好想進睡 難道持續飲醉

Want to sleep deeply, is it just drowning in alcohol?

好想拭乾眼淚然後團聚 卻怕心虛

Want to wipe away tears and reunite, but afraid of feeling empty.

唯求暗裡留的淚 蒸發後再無根據

Only wish the tears kept hidden will evaporate, leaving no reason behind.

想念純粹 幾滴雨 我不必怕面對

Miss pure simplicity, a drop of rain, I’m not afraid to face.

猶如情淚掉進死海裡 給誰

Like tears falling into the Dead Sea, who are they for?

難像藥水一點一點去消除氣餒

Difficult to gradually erase despair like medication.

唯獨妳不發現每一點雨水

Only you don’t notice every drop of rain.

竟可傷感得多催淚 遺憾仍在心裡

Can hurt so deeply, so tear-jerking, regret still in my heart.

好好哭乾眼淚 溶掉全部過去

Cry it all out, dry your tears, let go of the past.

沉淪靠你還原的心碎

Rely on you to restore my broken heart.

我未能靠喝杯水冷靜繼而撒退

I couldn’t calm down with just a glass of water, then push it away.

沉下去定更空虛

Falling deeper into emptiness, even more lonely.

好想進睡 難道持續飲醉

Want to sleep deeply, is it just drowning in alcohol?

好想拭乾眼淚然後團聚

Want to wipe away tears and reunite.

再渴求憑什麼爭取

Why continue to yearn, what’s worth fighting for?

滴下滿腔淚 虧欠未見清除

Droplets of tears spill, debts not yet cleared.

浸沒期許 我們已沖毁過去

Immersed in hope, we have destroyed the past.
