[English]

忽然之间想起你的面容

痴痴情深烙印我心中

你腼腆傻傻的柔情梦

看破一世人情故

你的一生看似普普通通

其实早已落了悲

走遍千山万水心流浪

却不知身在何处

是他为你挡了痴狂的泪

你又何苦非要再以身护卫

这乱糟糟的轮回 一生有无悔

他成了你永远的罪

你别再流泪败了你孤傲的眉

放下这段情再来过新的轮回

你不该为他醉却依然不知你憔悴

只是又一世的轮回

是他为你挡了痴狂的泪

你又何苦非要再以身护卫

这乱糟糟的轮回 一生有无悔

他成了你永远的罪

你别再流泪败了你孤傲的眉

放下这段情再来过新的轮回

你不该为他醉却依然不知你憔悴

只是又一世的轮回
