屋簷如懸崖風鈴如滄海我等燕歸來 The eaves like a cliff, the wind chimes like the vast sea, I wait for the swallows to return. 00:24

時間被安排演一場意外妳悄然走開 Time is arranged, playing out an accident, you quietly walk away. 00:32

故事在城外濃霧散不開看不清對白 The story is outside the city, the thick fog won't disperse, the lines are unclear. 00:40

妳聽不出來風聲不存在是我在感慨 You can't hear it, the sound of the wind doesn't exist, it's my lament. 00:48

夢醒來是誰在窗台把結局打開 When the dream awakens, who is at the window, opening the ending? 00:56

那薄如蟬翼的未來經不起誰來拆 That future as thin as a cicada's wing can't withstand anyone tearing it apart. 01:05

我送妳離開千里之外妳無聲黑白 I send you away, a thousand miles apart, you are silent in black and white. 01:12

沉默年代或許不該太遙遠的相愛 In the silent era, perhaps we shouldn't love from so far away. 01:21

我送妳離開天涯之外妳是否還在 I send you away, beyond the horizon, are you still there? 01:29

琴聲何來生死難猜用一生去等待 Where does the sound of the zither come from? Life and death are hard to guess, using a lifetime to wait. 01:37

聞淚聲入林尋梨花白只得一行青苔 Hearing the sound of tears in the forest, searching for white pear blossoms, only finding a line of green moss. 01:45

天在山之外雨落花台我兩鬢斑白 The sky is beyond the mountains, rain falls on the flower platform, my temples are turning gray. 01:49

聞淚聲入林尋梨花白只得一行青苔 Hearing the sound of tears in the forest, searching for white pear blossoms, only finding a line of green moss. 01:53

天在山之外雨落花台我等妳來 The sky is beyond the mountains, rain falls on the flower platform, I wait for you to come. 01:58

一身琉璃白透明著塵埃妳無瑕的愛 Dressed in translucent white, revealing the dust, your flawless love. 02:01

妳從雨中來詩化了悲哀我淋濕現在 You come from the rain, turning sorrow into poetry, I am drenched in the present. 02:10

芙蓉水面採船行影猶在妳卻不回來 Picking lotus flowers on the water's surface, the boat's shadow still lingers, but you do not return. 02:18

被歲月覆蓋妳說的花開過去成空白 Covered by the years, the flowers you spoke of bloom, the past becomes blank. 02:26

夢醒來是誰在窗台把結局打開 When the dream awakens, who is at the window, opening the ending? 02:34

那薄如蟬翼的未來經不起誰來拆 That future as thin as a cicada's wing can't withstand anyone tearing it apart. 02:42

我送妳離開千里之外妳無聲黑白 I send you away, a thousand miles apart, you are silent in black and white. 02:50

我送妳離開天涯之外妳是否還在 I send you away, beyond the horizon, are you still there? 03:06

琴聲何來生死難猜用一生 Where does the sound of the zither come from? Life and death are hard to guess, using a lifetime. 03:15

屋簷如懸崖風鈴如滄海我等燕歸來

The eaves like a cliff, the wind chimes like the vast sea, I wait for the swallows to return.

時間被安排演一場意外妳悄然走開

Time is arranged, playing out an accident, you quietly walk away.

故事在城外濃霧散不開看不清對白

The story is outside the city, the thick fog won't disperse, the lines are unclear.

妳聽不出來風聲不存在是我在感慨

You can't hear it, the sound of the wind doesn't exist, it's my lament.

夢醒來是誰在窗台把結局打開

When the dream awakens, who is at the window, opening the ending?

那薄如蟬翼的未來經不起誰來拆

That future as thin as a cicada's wing can't withstand anyone tearing it apart.

我送妳離開千里之外妳無聲黑白

I send you away, a thousand miles apart, you are silent in black and white.

沉默年代或許不該太遙遠的相愛

In the silent era, perhaps we shouldn't love from so far away.

我送妳離開天涯之外妳是否還在

I send you away, beyond the horizon, are you still there?

琴聲何來生死難猜用一生去等待

Where does the sound of the zither come from? Life and death are hard to guess, using a lifetime to wait.

聞淚聲入林尋梨花白只得一行青苔

Hearing the sound of tears in the forest, searching for white pear blossoms, only finding a line of green moss.

天在山之外雨落花台我兩鬢斑白

The sky is beyond the mountains, rain falls on the flower platform, my temples are turning gray.

聞淚聲入林尋梨花白只得一行青苔

Hearing the sound of tears in the forest, searching for white pear blossoms, only finding a line of green moss.

被歲月覆蓋妳說的花開過去成空白

Covered by the years, the flowers you spoke of bloom, the past becomes blank.

夢醒來是誰在窗台把結局打開

When the dream awakens, who is at the window, opening the ending?
