Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]
[English]
緣未到 或者等不到 但我知道
The fates haven't come yet, or perhaps they can't be waited for, but I know
在世間 浮沉中總有命數
In this world, amidst the rise and fall, there's always destiny
緣續了 但痛苦淚流 把笑容消耗
The bond continues, but pain and tears flow, consuming the smiles
明白了 放下了 等於得到
I've understood now, letting go is like gaining something
塵俗當中有太多人 相識過愛不到
In the worldly chaos, so many people meet, yet love is out of reach
人生路 緣和怨 亦有一天衰老
On life's journey, fate and resentment, one day, we all grow old
月與影相好 離別那個代價高
The moon and its shadow are close, but parting comes at a high cost
逃不掉 那清早
Can't escape that early morning

情或愛 是否可終老 未會相告
Love or affection, can it last forever? We haven't said it out loud
俗世中 情長短早有定數
In this worldly life, feelings have their fixed length, early and late
含著笑 扮作不在乎 比眼淚恐怖
Smile through it all, pretend not to care, tears are even more frightening
凡事也 註定了 不需苦惱
Everything is predestined, no need to worry
塵俗當中有太多人 相識過愛不到
In this world, so many meet but love remains out of reach
人生路 緣和怨 亦有一天衰老
On life's journey, fate and resentment, one day, we all grow old
月與影相好 離別那個代價高
The moon and its shadow are close, but parting comes at a high cost
逃不掉 那清早
Can't escape that early morning

能放低先可開竅
Only by letting go can you open your mind
能理解愛恨那需要
Only by understanding love and hate do we need to grow
得不到也沒缺少
What can't be gained isn't really missing
成長了 明白了
Having grown, I've understood
