這麼近 那麼遠 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

一天一天日日夜夜面對面

Day after day, facing each other night and day

既相處 也同眠

We share more than just living; we sleep together too

一點一點逐漸逐漸便發現

Bit by bit, gradually I begin to notice

縱相對 卻無言

Even when facing each other, there's no words exchanged

靜靜默默 望着熟悉的背面

Silently, quietly, I watch your familiar back

一彎身影 原來離我多麼的遠

A curve of your silhouette, yet you're so far from me

像天涯那一端

Like somewhere at the edge of the horizon

沒法行前一寸

Can't take a step forward

我留着你在身邊

I keep your presence close to me

心仍然很遠

But my heart still feels so far away

也許終於都有天

Maybe one day, finally

當你站在前面

When you stand in front of me

但我分不出這張是誰的臉

But I can't tell whose face is there

我留着你在身邊

I keep your presence close to me

心仍然很遠

But my heart still feels so distant

我想伸手拉近點

I want to reach out and bring us closer

竟觸不到那邊

Yet I can't touch the other side

就欠一點點

Just a little more

但這一點點 卻很遠

But that little bit feels so far

觸摸得到 揣摩不到

I can touch but can't figure out

這麼近 那麼遠 卻仍然

So close, yet so far away

相宿相棲 不聲不響 我跟你

We live and coexist silently, unspoken, just you and me

已改變 已無言

Have already changed, become speechless

靜靜默默 望着陌生的背面

Silently, I watch a stranger's back

心中所想 原來離我多麼的遠

What I think in my heart, turns out to be so far from me

像天涯那一端

Like somewhere at the edge of the horizon

沒法行前一寸

Can't take a step forward

我留着你在身邊

I keep your presence close to me

心仍然很遠

But my heart still feels so distant

也許終於都有天

Maybe one day, finally

當你站在前面

When you stand in front of me

但我分不出這張是誰的臉

But I can't tell whose face is there

我留着你在身邊

I keep your presence close to me

心仍然很遠

But my heart still feels so distant

我想伸手拉近點

I want to reach out and bring us closer

竟觸不到那邊

Yet I can't touch the other side

Just a little more
