[English]

[中文]

​​​ ​Stop pretending to be righteous​ ​​

别再假装正义

​​​ ​Neither you nor I​ ​​

你我都不配

​​​ ​deserve to be saved​ ​​

被救赎

​​​ ​Me, together with you​ ​​

我，与你一同

​​​ ​We head to the distant star below​ ​​

我们奔向脚下的远星

​​​ ​To eternity, or perhaps even beyond​ ​​

直到永恒，抑或更远

​​​ ​You and me, or "we"​ ​​

你和我，或者“我们”

​​​ ​Me, together with you​ ​​

我，与你一同

​​​ ​At last, we reach the star below​ ​​

终于抵达脚下的星辰

​​​ ​To eternity, or perhaps even beyond​ ​​

直到永恒，抑或更远

​​​ ​You and me, or "we"​ ​​

你和我，或者“我们”

​​​ ​When twilight falls and gently embraces us​ ​​

当暮色降临，轻柔将我们环抱

​​​ ​Our hearts burst into joyful bloom​ ​​

我们的心绽放出喜悦

​​​ ​We ride the wind to a place beyond time​ ​​

我们乘风去往时空彼端

​​​ ​If I'm with you, this love​ ​​

若我与你同在，这份爱

​​​ ​Hyuna, there's something I need to confess​ ​​

泫雅，有件事我必须坦白

​​​ ​She was secretly rehearsing her death every night​ ​​

她每晚都在秘密排演她的逝去

​​​ ​And I knew, but pretended not to​ ​​

我明明知道，却假装不知

​​​ ​Maybe I just wasn’t as desperate for her​ ​​

或许我只是没有那么迫切地需要她

​​​ ​I know my love was different from yours​ ​​

我知道我的爱与你的不同

​​​ ​But it was love, too​ ​​

但那也是爱

​​​ ​Who could really blame me?​ ​​

谁又能真正责怪我呢？

​​​ ​If you'd seen the look on her face too, you wouldn't be able to judge me either​ ​​

如果你也见过她那时的神情，你也不会对我妄下评断

​​​ ​When twilight falls and gently embraces us​ ​​

当暮色降临，轻柔将我们环抱

​​​ ​Our hearts burst into joyful bloom​ ​​

我们的心绽放出喜悦

​​​ ​We ride the wind to a place beyond time​ ​​

我们乘风去往时空彼端

​​​ ​If I'm with you, this love​ ​​

若我与你同在，这份爱

​​​ ​You were running away from the very beginning​ ​​

你从一开始就在逃避

​​​ ​Not once did you face your real feelings​ ​​

从未正视过自己的真实情感

​​​ ​Did clinging to some noble cause or sense of justice ever really fix anything?​ ​​

执着于某种崇高理念或正义感，真能解决什么吗？

​​​ ​But what came of it? A meaningless death​ ​​

但结果如何？不过是毫无意义的死亡

​​​ ​And even if we’d been granted freedom, we’d have still felt alone​ ​​

就算获得自由，我们仍会感到孤单

​​​ ​Because humans are the root of all this pain​ ​​

因为人类是这一切苦难的根源

​​​ ​We're creatures who can't seem to love without exploiting​ ​​

我们是无法不带着剥削去爱的生物

​​​ ​When twilight falls and gently embraces us​ ​​

当暮色降临，轻柔将我们环抱

​​​ ​Our hearts burst into joyful bloom​ ​​

我们的心绽放出喜悦

​​​ ​We ride the wind to a place beyond time​ ​​

我们乘风去往时空彼端

​​​ ​If I'm with you, this love​ ​​

若我与你同在，这份爱

​​​ ​ISAAC) For humans… and for these beasts too​ ​​

（艾萨克）对于人类……以及这些野兽来说

​​​ ​innocence was a luxury they couldn’t afford​ ​​

纯真对他们而言是遥不可及的奢侈

​​​ ​In this endless suffering​ ​​

在这无尽的苦痛中

​​​ ​to love and be loved​ ​​

去爱与被爱

​​​ ​to hold onto hope for a day that may never come​ ​​

怀抱着对那可能永不降临之日的希望

​​​ ​Is that a survival instinct, or selflessness​ ​​

那是求生本能，还是无私奉献？

​​​ ​At the center of it all was a woman​ ​​

而这一切的中心，是一位女性

​​​ ​a woman now called a witch, who was always searching for love​ ​​

一位如今被称为女巫的女人，她始终在寻求爱

​​​ ​Can we really blame her for that​ ​​

我们真的能因此责怪她吗？

​​​ ​Where did this original sin begin​ ​​

这原罪从何而起？

​​​ ​And in the face of a trial with no clear answer​ ​​

面对一场没有明确答案的审判

​​​ ​can these lives ever overcome it​ ​​

这些生命真能克服这一切吗？

​​​ ​​​ ​​
