Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

心若倦了 淚也乾了

If my heart grows tired, tears will have dried up

這份深情 難捨難了

This deep love, hard to part with and let go

曾經擁有 天荒地老

We once had it, lasting forever and ever

已不見你 暮暮與朝朝

Now I can’t find you, night and morning

這一份情 永遠難了

This love, forever difficult to abandon

願來生還能 再度擁抱

Wish that in the next life, we can embrace again

愛一個人 如何廝守到老

Loving someone, how to keep caring till old age

怎樣面對一切 我不知道

How to face everything, I don’t know

回憶過去 痛苦的相思忘不了

Remembering the past, I can’t forget the painful longing

為何你還來 撥動我心跳

Why do you still come, stirring my heartbeat

愛你怎麼能了

How can I stop loving you

今夜的你應該明瞭 緣難了 情難了

Tonight, you should understand, fate and love are hard to hold
