為你寫下這首情歌

• By: 五月天

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

如果你 忘了我

If you ever forget me

就讓風 代替我

Let the wind be my proxy

為你寫下這首情歌 陪著你走

I write this love song for you, to walk with you

...

...

當白雲變蒼狗

When clouds turn to grey hounds

回望故事 多不多

Looking back on our story, is there a lot?

細數收穫 夠不夠

Counting our blessings, are they enough?

曾追求的夢 還夢不夢

Do we still dream the dreams we once chased?

當命運的路口

At the crossroads of fate

帶你緩緩走向我

You were slowly led towards me

讓我深深的愛過

Allowing me to love you so deeply

才終於學會 即使笨拙 也要執著

I finally learned to persevere, even if clumsy

如果你 記得我

If you remember me

你和我 曾走過

You and I, we once walked

走過擁有你的此生 別無所求

Having you in this life, I ask for nothing more

如果你 忘了我

If you ever forget me

就讓風 代替我

Let the wind be my proxy

為你寫下這首情歌 陪著你走

I write this love song for you, to walk with you

...

...

如天地與蜉蝣

Like heaven and earth with a mayfly

如此渺小的你我

So small, you and I

人間無常的變奏

In this world's ever-changing variations

只想每一刻 給你溫柔

I just want to give you tenderness in every moment

又是什麼因果

What kind of karma is it?

前世千次的錯過

A thousand times we missed each other in past lives

換來一刻的回眸

Exchanged for one glance in this life

終於讓此生 曾經有你 患難與共

Finally, in this life, I once had you, sharing hardships together

如果你 記得我

If you remember me

你和我 曾走過

You and I, we once walked

走過擁有你的此生 別無所求

Having you in this life, I ask for nothing more

如果你 忘了我

If you ever forget me

就讓風 代替我

Let the wind be my proxy

為你寫下這首情歌 陪著你走

I write this love song for you, to walk with you

...

...

如果你 記得我

If you remember me

你和我 曾走過

You and I, we once walked

走過擁有你的此生 別無所求

Having you in this life, I ask for nothing more

如果你 忘了我

If you ever forget me

就讓風 代替我

Let the wind be my proxy

為你寫下這首情歌 陪著你走

I write this love song for you, to walk with you

陪你走過朝霞星空 天長地久

Walking with you through the sunrise, starry sky, forever and always

...

...

陪著你走

Walk with you

...

  ➔ Resultative Verb Complement (愛過), Conjunction (即使...也...)

  ➔ "愛過" (ài guò) is a verb with a resultative complement, meaning "to have loved and experienced the result of that love". "即使...也..." (jíshǐ...yě...) means "even if... still...". The sentence means "Only after deeply loving, did I finally learn that even if clumsy, one must still persist."

• 走過擁有你的此生 別無所求

  ➔ "如天地與蜉蝣" (rú tiāndì yǔ fúyóu) uses "如" (rú) to create a simile, comparing something to heaven and earth and mayflies. "渺小的你我" (miǎoxiǎo de nǐ wǒ) uses the "的" (de) structure to describe "you and I" as "渺小的" (miǎoxiǎo de), meaning insignificant or tiny. The whole phrase suggests the insignificance of humans compared to the vastness of the universe.
