Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

我那天不過想天遠飛

On that day, I just wanted to fly far away

只好放低你 不加結尾的別離

So I had to let you go, a goodbye without a conclusion

我那天忘形後未可好好處理

After getting carried away that day, I couldn't handle it properly

只好不再看不理

So I just stopped looking, stopped caring

成全自己以後不提起

To help myself, I decided not to mention it again

已相隔多年仍然自欺

Years have passed, and I'm still deceiving myself

放下了其實一早鑄了碑

Letting go actually meant a monument was built long ago

直到無人記起

Until no one remembers

往日記憶統統儲起

All the memories of the past are stored away

最後我的他不是你

In the end, my significant other is not you

但我今天從何妒忌

But today, what reason do I have to be jealous?

離開事後最怕對比

After leaving, I fear comparison the most

我願昨天都不記起

I wish I didn't remember yesterday at all

放下錯開的那雙手臂

Let go of those arms that missed their chance

別再勾起迴腸盪氣

Don't stir up such intense feelings again

但我偏偏無道理又偷偷嘆氣

But illogically, I still secretly sigh

...

...

我這天不再飛逗留此地

Today I no longer fly, I stay here

不需要淒美 只需要挽手便到地

No need for tragic beauty, just hold hands and reach the destination

我與他和諧地 即使走到鑽禧

I am harmonious with him, even if we reach our diamond anniversary

很多心血只可以交給你

All my deep feelings were only for you

成全自己以後不提起

To help myself, I decided not to mention it again

已相隔多年仍然自欺

Years have passed, and I'm still deceiving myself

放下了還是要一再躲避

Even having let go, I still have to keep avoiding it

直到長埋不起

Until it's buried and cannot be unearthed

往日記憶統統儲起

All the memories of the past are stored away

最後我的他不是你

In the end, my significant other is not you

但我今天從何妒忌

But today, what reason do I have to be jealous?

離開事後最怕對比

After leaving, I fear comparison the most

我願昨天都不記起

I wish I didn't remember yesterday at all

放下錯開的那雙手臂

Let go of those arms that missed their chance

別再勾起迴腸盪氣

Don't stir up such intense feelings again

但我偏偏無道理又想起了你

But illogically, I think of you again

我密碼記着你的日期

My password remembers your date

我共你當天怎一起

How we were together that day

當所有誓約能忘記

When all vows can be forgotten

還有哪些可以留起

What else can be kept?

往日記憶統統儲起

All the memories of the past are stored away

最後我的他不是你

In the end, my significant other is not you

但我今天從何妒忌

But today, what reason do I have to be jealous?

誰狠心放棄成全我的你

Who heartlessly gave me up, you who made me complete

我願昨天都不記起

I wish I didn't remember yesterday at all

放下錯開的那雙手臂

Let go of those arms that missed their chance

別再勾起迴腸盪氣

Don't stir up such intense feelings again

但我偏偏無道理便犧牲了你

But illogically, I sacrificed you

...
