一去不返

• By: Dear Jane

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

鐘已響過 一覺睡醒

The bell has already rung, waking me up

一語不發恍似陌生路人

Say nothing, I feel like a stranger on the road

難道我不怎麼要緊

Could it be that I don’t really matter

給你一吻 親你髮端

Kissed you softly, love you from your hair

擁抱得最緊 仍不興奮

Hold you tight, yet I don’t feel excited

沉默過後再沒有聲音

After silence, there’s no more sound

不講出聲的真相 只得藉口

Truths left unsaid, only excuses to hide

不肯盡力去愛人 無力挽救

Refusing to love with all my heart, powerless to save

當你不要求 當你一開口

When you don’t ask, when you finally speak

終於知一去不返 這個道理

I finally understand that once gone, can never return

想再牽手 也沒權利

Want to hold your hand again, but I have no right

失去你後捉得緊只得空氣

After losing you, holding on is just empty air

經不起戀愛風霜 只有後悔

Cannot withstand love’s storms, only regret remains

傷過的心 祈求學會

Hearts wounded, praying to learn

經歷多少可惜也都不配

No matter how many experiences, we don’t deserve them

明白有幾多感人約誓

Understanding how many touching promises, how many vows

有幾多山盟海誓

How many oaths of eternal love

最終都不能一生一世

In the end, none last a lifetime

一個相冊 一個記憶

An album, a memory

一世相處的回憶足印

A lifetime of memories left footprints

難敵你出走的決心

No match for your determination to leave

每次寂靜似刀割 傷得太深

Every silence feels like a knife, hurting too deep

不稀罕給這愛情 留下腳印

Refuse to leave a mark on this love

當你不追尋 當你一死心

When you stop chasing, when you give up

終於知一去不返 這個道理

I finally understand that once gone, can never return

想再牽手 也沒權利

Want to hold your hand again, but I have no right

失去你後捉得緊只得空氣

After losing you, holding on is just empty air

經不起戀愛風霜 只有後悔

Cannot withstand love’s storms, only regret remains

傷過的心 祈求學會

Hearts wounded, praying to learn

經歷多少可惜也都不配

No matter how many experiences, we don’t deserve them

明白有幾多感人約誓 有幾多山盟海誓

Understanding how many touching promises, how many vows

最終都不能一生一世

How many oaths of eternal love

最後也許終需懂放低

In the end, none can last a lifetime

回憶的一切 多麼可貴 最後仍白費

Perhaps in the end, we have to learn to let go

終於知一去不返 這個道理

All the memories are so precious, yet in the end, it’s all in vain

想再牽手 也沒權利

I finally understand that once gone, can never return

失去你後捉得緊只得空氣

Want to hold your hand again, but I have no right

經不起戀愛風霜 只有後悔

After losing you, holding on is just empty air

傷過的心 祈求學會

Cannot withstand love’s storms, only regret remains

經歷多少可惜也都不配

Hearts wounded, praying to learn

明白有幾多感人約誓 有幾多山盟海誓

No matter how many experiences, we don’t deserve them

最終都不能一生一世

Understanding how many touching promises, how many vows

其實有幾多感人約誓 有幾多山盟海誓

How many oaths of eternal love

到最終可能都給枉費

In the end, perhaps all were in vain
