Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

回憶當天竟分了岔

Memories split apart that day

如今想起只有感嘆

Now I only sigh when I think back

從此風光愜意嗎

From now on, is everything smooth and bright?

剎那便走到了落霞

In a moment, I was under the sunset glow

回家不需風吹雨打

Going home, no wind or rain

離開家中只有空牽掛

Leaving home only leaves me with longing

煩惱舊事無法靜下

Old worries can't seem to settle down

最怕是虛耗了年華

I'm most afraid of wasting my years

回去吧

Let's go back

你是我的終身冀盼

You're my lifelong hope

一水將兩方分隔

A water separates the two sides

好好一個家但是誰又捨得自立

A loving home, but who can truly be independent?

矛盾就地忘記吧

Forget the conflicts right here

冰釋永未晚大地回暖 候鳥總會歸返

Let bygones be bygones, it's never too late—earth warms again, migratory birds always return

一水將兩方分隔

A water separates the two sides

好好一個家 蜜月期亦會有雨灑

A happy home, but even during honeymoon, rain can come

離去是為回去吧

Leaving is for going back

不需要害怕 別遺忘了在這邊

Don't fear, forget not that you're still here

留著家的記掛

Keep the thought of home in your heart

...

...

如今家中早開滿花

Now, the house is full of blooming flowers

旁邊花園不再搶眼

The nearby garden is no longer the main attraction

從此不需再記它

No need to remember it anymore

跌碰後歸去有何難

Falling and rising, returning isn’t hard

回家不需風吹雨打

Going home, no wind or rain

離開家中只有空牽掛

Leaving home only leaves hollow longing

煩惱舊事無法靜下

Old worries can't seem to settle down

最怕是虛耗了年華

I'm most afraid of wasting my years

回去吧

Let's go back

你是我的終身冀盼

You're my lifelong hope

一水將兩方分隔

A water separates the two sides

好好一個家 但是誰又捨得自立

A loving home, but who can truly be independent?

矛盾就地忘記吧

Forget the conflicts right here

冰釋永未晚 大地回暖候鳥總會歸返

Let bygones be bygones, it's never too late—earth warms again, migratory birds always return

一水將兩方分隔

A water separates the two sides

好好一個家 蜜月期亦會有雨灑

A loving home, but even during honeymoon, rain can come

離去是為回去吧

Leaving is for going back

不需要害怕 二十年也為你等

Don't fear, I've waited for you twenty years

無論等多晚

No matter how long I wait

何時共你可共享天藍

When will we share the blue sky together?

於家裡喝著茶

Sipping tea at home

何以共你難平淡

Why is it so hard to find peace with you?

一水將兩方分隔

A water separates the two sides

好好一個家 但為何又只得獨白

A loving home, but why only silent words?

矛盾就地忘記吧

Forget the conflicts right here

冰釋永未晚 靜下來對換角色 了解好嗎

Let bygones be bygones, it's never too late—calm down, switch roles, understand each other

一水將兩方分隔

A water separates the two sides

好好一個家 蜜月期亦會有雨灑

A loving home, but even during honeymoon, rain can come

離去是為回去吧

Leaving is for going back

不需要害怕 別遺忘了在這邊

Don't fear, forget not that you're still here

留著家的記掛

Keep the thought of home in your heart
