最遠的距離

• By: 吳若希

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

行人裡看著你飛 如何伸手留住你

Watching you fly among the pedestrians, how can I reach out to hold you back?

兩個世界差天與地

Two worlds, separated by the sky and the ground.

如同是漆黑 偷戀上白晝

Like black paint secretly touching white daylight.

遠遠靜待臨近再退避

Waiting quietly from afar, retreating when you come close.

平行線哪樣串起 同行一刻仍是美

Parallel lines, how they run side by side. Sharing a moment is still beautiful.

再繼續也許會傷悲

Continuing might only bring sorrow.

最親暱的瞬間 亦相差千百萬里

The closest moments are still millions of miles apart.

注定無運氣走入你心扉

Destined to have no luck entering your heart.

如一個短速假期 原來是空歡喜

Like a brief holiday, it turns out just empty joy.

如一切都有限期 才明白衝不開這顧忌

When everything has its limit, I realize I can't break free from this worry.

最遠是這一種距離

The farthest is this kind of distance.

看見亦聽到 但卻愛不起

I see and hear you, but I can't love you.

明知道差天與地 還情願不一起

Knowing it's worlds apart, yet I still wish we weren't apart.

何不趁將到限期 能逃避快出走這禁地

Why not seize the limited time? Escape quickly from this forbidden zone.

你隔著最飄忽距離

You're separated by the most fleeting distance.

快降落我心 下秒鐘 又再轉身高飛

My heart is about to land, but in the next second, I turn and soar high again.

...

...

平行線哪樣串起 同行一刻仍是美

Sharing a moment is still beautiful when we run parallel.

太強求結果會傷悲

Pushing for results only brings sadness.

愛不到請放手 我都清楚這道理

If love can't be, let go. I understand this truth.

要是流淚也不用說對不起

There's no need to say sorry if you shed tears.

如一個短速假期 原來是空歡喜

Like a brief holiday, it turns out just empty joy.

如一切都有限期 才明白衝不開這顧忌

When everything has its limit, I realize I can't break free from this worry.

最遠是這一種距離

The farthest is this kind of distance.

看見亦聽到 但卻愛不起

I see and hear you, but I can't love you.

明知道差天與地 還情願不一起

Knowing it's worlds apart, yet I still wish we weren't apart.

何不趁將到限期 能逃避快出走這禁地

Why not seize the limited time? Escape quickly from this forbidden zone.

你隔著最飄忽距離

You're separated by the most fleeting distance.

快降落我心 下秒鐘 又再轉身高飛

My heart is about to land, but in the next second, I turn and fly far away again.

如一個短速假期 原來是空歡喜

Like a brief holiday, it turns out just empty joy.

如一切都有限期 才明白衝不開這顧忌

When everything has its limit, I realize I can't break free from this worry.

最遠是這一種距離

Knowing it's worlds apart, yet I still wish we weren't apart.

何不趁將到限期 能逃避快出走這禁地

Why not seize the limited time? Escape quickly from this forbidden zone.

你隔著最飄忽距離

You're separated by the most fleeting distance.

快降落我心 下秒鐘 又再轉身遠飛

My heart is about to land, but in the next second, I turn and fly far away again.
