Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

一天一天 日日夜夜 面對面

Day by day, night and day, face to face

既相處 也同眠

We've been together, sleeping side by side

一點一點 逐漸逐漸 便發現

Little by little, gradually, I realize

縱相對 卻無言

Though facing each other, we have no words

靜靜默默 望著熟悉的背面

Quietly, silently, I gaze at your familiar back

一彎身影 原來離我多麽的遠

A bent figure, turns out you're so far from me

像天涯 那一端 沒法行 前一吋

Like the distant horizon, I can't take a step forward

我 留著你在身邊 心仍然很遠

I keep you close, but my heart still feels so far away

我想伸手拉近點 竟觸不到那邊

I want to reach out and bring you closer, but I can't touch that side

就欠一點點 但這一點點

Just a little more, just that tiny bit

觸摸得到 揣摩不到 這麽近

I can touch it, but can't understand it—how can we be this close

那麽遠 卻仍然

So far away, yet still...

相宿相棲 不聲不響 我跟你

Living and staying connected silently, I and you

已改變 已無言

Have changed, have become speechless

靜靜默默 望著陌生的背面

Quietly, silently, I look at a stranger's back

心中所想 原來離我多麼的遠

What I long for is actually so far from me

像天涯 那一端 沒法行 前一吋

Like the distant horizon, I can't take a step forward

我 留著你在身邊 心仍然很遠

I keep you close, but my heart still feels so far away

也許終於都有天 當你站在前面

Maybe one day, you'll stand in front of me

但我分不出這張是誰的臉

But I can't tell whose face this is

我 留著你在身邊 心仍然很遠

I keep you close, but my heart still feels so far

我想伸手拉近點 竟觸不到那邊

I want to reach out and pull you closer, but I can't touch that side

就欠一點點 但這一點點 卻很遠

Just a little more, but that tiny bit feels so far

我 留著你在身邊心 仍然很遠

I keep you close, yet my heart is still so distant

也許終於都有天 當你站在前面

Maybe someday, you'll stand in front of me

但我分不出這張是誰的臉

But I can't tell whose face this is

我 留著你在身邊心 仍然很遠

I keep you close, but my heart still feels so far

我想伸手拉近點 竟觸不到那邊

I want to reach out and bring you closer, but I can't touch that side

就欠一點點 但這一點點 卻很遠

Just a little more, but that tiny bit feels so distant
