Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

我不羨慕 太陽

I don't envy the sun

照不亮你 過往

It can't light up your past

有些黑暗

Some darkness

我們 都一樣

We are all the same

I wish I could be strong

I wish I could be strong

Leave you behind, move on

Leave you behind, move forward

Words unspoken

Unspoken words

Left us broken too long

Left us broken for too long

有一種悲傷

There’s a kind of sadness

It's like your name still echoes

It’s like your name still echoes

Even though you're gone

Even though you're gone

陪伴我呼吸

Accompanying my breath

決定我微笑模樣

Deciding my gentle smile

無法遺忘

Impossible to forget

有一種悲傷

There’s a kind of sadness

It's in the way we said goodbye

It’s in how we said goodbye

Somehow it plays on and on

Somehow it lingers on and on

剩下倔強

Left with stubbornness

剩下合照一張

Left with a photograph

...

...

成為彼此的路 losing our way

Becoming each other's path, losing our way

But I know we can't stay

But I know we can't stay

有一種悲傷

There’s a kind of sadness

I hear your voice still echo

I hear your voice still echo

Even though you're gone

Even though you're gone

陪伴我呼吸

Accompanying my breath

決定我微笑模樣

Deciding my gentle smile

無法遺忘

Impossible to forget

有一種悲傷

There’s a kind of sadness

It's in the way we said goodbye

It’s in how we said goodbye

Somehow it plays on and on

Somehow it lingers on and on

剩下倔強

Left with stubbornness

剩下合照一張

Left with a photograph

...

...

有一種悲傷

There’s a kind of sadness

不想要與你分開

I don’t want to part with you

Still somehow it plays on and on

Still somehow it plays on and on

你是所有

You are everything

你是合照一張

You are a photograph

...

...
