星空

• By: 五月天

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

摸不到的顏色 是否叫彩虹?

Is the color I can't touch called a rainbow?

看不到的擁抱 是否叫做微風?

Is an unseen hug called a gentle breeze?

一個人 想著一個人 是否就叫寂寞?

When I’m alone, thinking alone, does that mean loneliness?

...

...

命運偷走如果 只留下結果

If fate steals away everything but leaves the result

時間偷走初衷 只留下了苦衷

Time steals the original intentions, only leaving worries

你來過 然後你走後 只留下星空

You came and went, and all that remains is the starry sky

那一年我們望著星空

That year, we looked up at the stars

有那麼多的 燦爛的夢

So many brilliant dreams

以為快樂會永久 像不變星空 陪著我

Thought happiness would last forever, like the unchanging stars shining on me

...

...

獵戶 天狼 織女 光年外沉默

Orion, Sirius, Vega—silence across light-years

回憶 青春 夢想 何時偷偷隕落？

Memories, youth, dreams—when did they quietly fall apart?

我愛過 然後我沈默 人海裡漂流

I loved, then I fell silent, drifting among crowds

那一年我們望著星空

That year, we looked up at the stars

未來的未來 從沒想過

The future, I never really thought about

當故事失去美夢 美夢失去線索

When stories lose their sweet dreams, and dreams lose their clues

而我們失去聯絡

And we lost contact

這一片無言無語星空

This silent, speechless starry sky

為什麼靜靜 看我淚流

Why do you quietly watch my tears flow?

如果你在的時候 會不會伸手 擁抱我？

If you were here, would you reach out and hold me?

細數繁星閃爍 細數此生奔波

Counting the twinkling stars, counting this life's struggles

原來 所有 所得 所獲 不如一夜的星空

Turns out, everything gained or lost is less than a night under the stars

空氣中的溫柔 回憶你的笑容

The gentle air, recalling your smile

彷彿只要伸手 就能觸摸

It feels like just reaching out could touch it

摸不到的顏色 是否叫彩虹

Is the color I can't touch called a rainbow?

看不到的擁抱 是否叫做微風

Is an unseen hug called a gentle breeze?

一個人 習慣一個人

Being alone, getting used to loneliness

這一刻獨自望著星空

This moment, staring at the starry sky alone

從前的從前 從沒變過

The past, nothing has really changed

寂寞可以是忍受 也可以是享受

Loneliness can be endured or enjoyed

享受僅有的擁有

Enjoying the little we have

那一年我們望著星空

That year, we looked up at the stars

有那麼多的 燦爛的夢

So many brilliant dreams

至少回憶會永久 像不變星空 陪著我

At least memories will last forever, like the unchanging stars

...

...

最後只剩下星空 像不變回憶

In the end, only the starry sky remains, like unchanging memories

陪著我

Accompanying me

...

...
