[English]

I'm sure I told you I love you hundreds of years ago

But you forgot, and I didn't remember either

I'm sure I told you I love you hundreds of years ago

But you forgot, and I didn't remember either

Passed by, walked past, never met

Looked back, turned around, still wrong

You and I never felt it

Ran into each other at the corner, ran into each other at the corner

Didn't your mom tell you

When you bump into someone, you have to say sorry

Today was supposed to be fine

The lover just missed, the lover just missed

...

I'm sure I told you I love you hundreds of years ago

But you forgot, and I didn't remember either

I'm sure I told you I love you hundreds of years ago

But you forgot, and I didn't remember either

Passed by, walked past, never met

Looked back, turned around, still wrong

You and I never felt it

Ran into each other at the corner, ran into each other at the corner

Didn't your mom tell you

When you bump into someone, you have to say sorry

Today was supposed to be fine

The lover just missed, the lover just missed

Passed by, walked past, never met

Looked back, turned around, still wrong

You and I never felt it

Ran into each other at the corner, ran into each other at the corner

Didn't your mom tell you

When you bump into someone, you have to say sorry

Today was supposed to be fine

The lover just missed, the lover just missed oh

...

Passed by, walked past, never met

Looked back, turned around, still wrong

You and I never felt it

Ran into each other at the corner, ran into each other at the corner

Didn't your mom tell you

When you bump into someone, you have to say sorry

Today was supposed to be fine

The lover just missed, the lover just missed

Passed by, walked past, never met

Looked back, turned around, still wrong

You and I never felt it

Ran into each other at the corner, ran into each other at the corner

Didn't your mom tell you (tell you)

When you bump into someone, you have to say sorry (sorry)

Today was supposed to be fine

The lover just missed, the lover just missed

...

Key Grammar Structures

• 我肯定在几百年前就说过爱你

  ➔ Use of 过 to mark a past experience; use of 就 to indicate that the action happened early.

  ➔ The verb phrase "说过" uses the particle "过" to show a past experience, and "就" in "就在几百年前" signals that the action occurred early.

• 只是你忘了 我也没记起

  ➔ Negation with 了 for completed actions; use of 也 to add another subject.

  ➔ Both verbs end with "了" indicating completed actions, while "也" in "我也没记起" adds the speaker as another subject.

• 走过 路过 没遇过

  ➔ Use of 过 to express experience; negative form 没 + 过 for ‘never experienced’.

  ➔ "走过" and "路过" use the particle "过" to show that the action has been experienced, while "没遇过" combines the negative "没" with "过" to mean “never met”.

• 回头 转头 还是错

  ➔ Use of 还是 to express “still” or “again” in a contrastive sense.

  ➔ "还是" in "还是错" conveys that after turning back or turning around, the result is still “wrong”.

• 你妈没有告诉你

  ➔ Negative form 没有 + verb to express “did not”.

  ➔ "没有" before "告诉" negates the verb, meaning “did not tell”.

• 撞到人要说对不起

  ➔ Use of 要 + verb to express necessity or obligation (“must”).

  ➔ "要" before "说" signals that saying “sorry” is required after bumping into someone.

• 本来今天好好的

  ➔ Use of 本来 to express “originally” or “initially”.

  ➔ "本来" modifies the whole clause, indicating that the day was supposed to be fine at first.

• 爱人就错过

  ➔ Use of 就 to express a result that follows immediately (“then”).

  ➔ "就" links the noun "爱人" with the verb "错过", meaning “the lover is then missed”.
