在月台上等你 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

慢了腳步

Walking a little slower

思索著未來

Pondering the future

未見你在

I didn't see you there

當我轉入

When I turned into

成長的月台

the platform of growth

做個記號

Leaving a mark

被繁榮下載

Downloaded by the hustle and bustle

在人海擠擁 等不到你愛

In the crowded sea of people, I can't wait for your love

等 等一朵花會開

Waiting, just waiting for a flower to bloom

等不到個大概

Waiting for a sign, a little hint

恨你在現場沒出賽

Can't even get a vague idea

等 絕望地等你來

I hate that you didn't compete on the scene

列車將到站

Waiting desperately for you to come

人還未到

The train is about to arrive

向明日致哀

People haven't arrived yet

和你將要離別了

Bidding farewell to tomorrow

求你不要逃避了

Please don't run away

情愛失去價值

Love loses its value

不夠努力

Not trying hard enough

問你做過多少

How much have you done?

時間不會停頓了

Time won't wait anymore

由我出發那刻 心慌了

My heart panicked when I set out

一天黑一破曉

One day turns dark, then dawn breaks

月台上你身影飄渺

Your figure fades on the platform

...

...

想 想彼此肩並肩

Thinking, thinking, shoulder to shoulder

想當初那遇見

Remember when we met

像世外桃源未污染

Like a paradise untouched by pollution

想 步伐踏得太前

I think our pace got ahead of ourselves

旁觀者退後

Spectators step back

無言沒語

Speechless, no words

你停在那邊

You stop over there

和你將要離別了

Bidding farewell to you

求你不要逃避了

Please don't run away

情愛失去價值

Love loses its value

不夠努力

Not trying hard enough

問你做過多少

How much have you done?

時間不會停頓了

Time won't wait anymore

由我出發那刻 心慌了

My heart panicked when I set out

一天黑一破曉

One day turns dark, then dawn breaks

月台上你身影飄渺

Your figure fades on the platform

...

...

誰已追到疲倦了

Who has become tired of chasing?

誰也等到麻木了

Who has waited until numb?

情愛分化兩極

Love polarizes

充滿壓力 是嗎？

Full of pressure, isn't it?

代價不小

The cost isn't small

時間不會停頓了

Time won't wait anymore

和你不再同步 走散了

We are no longer in sync, drifting apart

一天黑一破曉

One day turns dark, then dawn breaks

便拿著獨身的車票

Holding my single ticket in hand

...

...
