Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

最怕空氣突然安靜

I fear most when the air suddenly goes silent.

最怕 朋友突然的關心

I fear most a sudden word of concern from a friend.

最怕回憶 突然翻滾絞痛著不平息

I fear most when memories suddenly surge, twisting and aching without cease.

最怕突然 聽到你的消息

I fear most suddenly hearing news of you.

想念如果會有聲音

If longing could have a sound,

不願那是悲傷的哭泣

I wouldn't want it to be a sorrowful cry.

事到如今 終於讓自己 屬於 我自己

Now, at last, I've allowed myself to belong to only myself.

只剩眼淚 還騙不過自己

Only tears remain, and I can't even deceive myself.

突然好想你 你會在 哪裡

Suddenly missing you so bad, where could you be?

過得快樂 或委屈

Are you doing well, or feeling wronged?

突然好想你 突然鋒利的回憶

Suddenly missing you so bad, these suddenly sharp memories.

突然模糊的眼睛

Suddenly my eyes are blurred with tears.

我們像一首最美麗的歌曲

We were like the most beautiful song,

變成兩部悲傷的電影

Turned into two sad movies.

為什麼你 帶我走過最難忘的旅行

Why did you take me on the most unforgettable journey?

然後留下最痛的紀念品

And then leave behind the most painful souvenirs?

突然很想告訴你們 謝謝你們

Suddenly really want to tell you all, thank you all.

突然很想告訴你 謝謝你們

Suddenly really want to tell you, thank you all.

此時面對著你們 我感受到我不是渺小的

Facing you all at this moment, I feel I'm not insignificant.

我們 那麼甜 那麼美 那麼相信

We were so sweet, so beautiful, so full of belief,

那麼瘋 那麼熱烈的曾經

So crazy, such passionate memories.

為何我們 還是要奔向各自的幸福和遺憾中老去

Why do we still have to rush towards our separate happiness and grow old with regret?

突然好想你 你會在哪裡

Suddenly missing you so bad, where could you be?

過得快樂或委屈

Are you doing well, or feeling wronged?

突然好想你 突然鋒利的回憶

Suddenly missing you so bad, these suddenly sharp memories.

突然模糊的眼睛

Suddenly my eyes are blurred with tears.

最怕空氣突然安靜

I fear most when the air suddenly goes silent.

最怕朋友突然的關心

I fear most a sudden word of concern from a friend.

最怕回憶 突然翻滾絞痛著不平息

I fear most when memories suddenly surge, twisting and aching without cease.

最怕 此生 已經決心自己過

I fear most that in this life, I've already resolved to live it alone,

沒有你 卻又突然 聽到你的消息

Without you, yet I suddenly hear news of you.
