雪落下的声音 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Gently falling into my palm,

Quietly freezing in my hand.

Our meeting was fated from a past life,

Enduring pain while tasting all the joy.

Slowly, I listen to the sound of falling snow,

Closing my eyes, imagining it will never stop.

You can't come close, it's definitely not because I'm cold-hearted,

It's just that I cherish the beautiful scenery outside the window.

Slowly, I savor the sound of falling snow,

As if you were close to me, calling me "dearest."

Opening my eyes, the vast snow is merciless.

Who will make up for this lifetime's precious moments?

Clearly, your words were so disheartening,

Pretending they were just gentle warnings.

Even with tears gone dry, still unwilling to believe,

This life, as frail as paper, is ill-fated.

Slowly, I listen to the sound of falling snow,

Closing my eyes, imagining it will never stop.

You can't come close, it's definitely not because I'm cold-hearted,

It's just that I cherish the beautiful scenery outside the window.

Slowly, I savor the sound of falling snow,

As if you were close to me, calling me "dearest."

Opening my eyes, the vast snow is merciless.

Who will make up for this lifetime's precious moments?

[Chinese]

轻轻 落在我掌心

静静 在掌中结冰

相逢 是前世注定

痛并 把快乐尝尽

我慢慢地听 雪落下的声音

闭着眼睛幻想它不会停

你没办法靠近 决不是太薄情

只是贪恋窗外好风景

我慢慢地品 雪落下的声音

仿佛是你贴着我叫卿卿

睁开了眼睛 漫天的雪无情

谁来赔这一生好光景

明明 话那么寒心

假装 那只是叮咛

泪尽 也不愿相信

此生 如纸般薄命

我慢慢地听 雪落下的声音

闭着眼睛幻想它不会停

你没办法靠近 决不是太薄情

只是贪恋窗外好风景

我慢慢地品 雪落下的声音

仿佛是你贴着我叫卿卿

睁开了眼睛 漫天的雪无情

谁来赔这一生好光景
