[English]

像孩子那樣哭著鬧著

像大人那樣安靜沈穩的

活得 高亢 低落 高亢 低落

有個沙漏 在心中盪呀

默許時間讓皺紋蔓延了

對在意的事手也握緊了

不願 得過 且過 可無 可有

不是命運 這是我最深愛的

時間啊 來吧

再重來一次我都會

沒有明天般揮霍著

找到你 時間啊 走吧

我依然還是那個她

沒有明天地去愛著

Forever young

Forever young

學著遙望 手卻不會放

我多驕傲 這是我的骨架 我的內臟

對嗎

你深愛著那樣的我 對嗎

遇到每個女孩

我都會告訴她

妳該那樣愛上

Forever young

Forever young

Oh

...

小嬰兒那樣哭著鬧著

我哄她說你該變成信徒安靜臥著

為 愛情 合掌 因為 妳會

垂直活著 水平留戀著

我一橫一豎描上過程

我一刀一剪摺成了永恆

我 不知 不覺 不知 不覺

畫我的模樣

成你的模樣

Oh

時間啊 來吧

我也曾讓你受過傷

擁有一切都還渴望

還尋著 時間啊 走吧

我也曾為你去流浪

我還是這樣

我願意這樣

Forever young

Forever young

怎麼愛一個人我都沒忘

二十年後 還是一樣輕狂一樣不枉

對嗎 你深愛著那樣的我對嗎

哪天我離去了 我會告訴他

親愛的你該像 沒有明天地唱

Forever young Oh Oh

Forever young Oh Oh

Forever young

...

Key Grammar Structures

• 像孩子那樣哭著鬧著

  ➔ Verb + 着 (zhe) + Verb structure to describe the manner or state of an action.

  ➔ This line uses the structure "verb + 着 + verb" to emphasize the continuous and simultaneous actions of crying and making a fuss, like a child. "哭著 (kūzhe)" means crying and "鬧著 (nàozhe)" means making a fuss. The use of "像 (xiàng)" emphasizes this action is being “like” someone.

• 有個沙漏 在心中盪呀

  ➔ Simple sentence structure with the particle 呀 (ya) to soften the tone and add a sense of gentle movement.

  ➔ "有個沙漏 (yǒu ge shālòu)" means "there is an hourglass." "在心中 (zài xīnzhōng)" means "in the heart." "盪呀 (dàng ya)" describes a swaying or swinging motion with the final particle "呀 (ya)" adding a light, emotive tone.

• 默許時間讓皺紋蔓延了

  ➔ Causative verb structure using 让 (ràng) to indicate that time causes wrinkles to spread.

  ➔ "默許 (mòxǔ)" means "tacitly allow." "讓 (ràng)" indicates causation. The phrase describes tacitly allowing time to cause wrinkles to spread. "蔓延 (mànyán)" means spread and "了 (le)" indicates the completion or change of state.

• 不是命運 這是我最深愛的

  ➔ Simple declarative sentence with emphasis on the object using 是...的 (shì...de).

  ➔ This line emphasizes that "this (我最深愛的)" is what she loves most. The 是...的 (shì...de) structure is used for emphasis. It's not fate; this feeling or action is what she deeply loves.

• 再重來一次我都會

  ➔ Conditional sentence with 省略 (shěnglüè, ellipsis) of the consequent clause, implying a continuation of the previous sentiment.

  ➔ "再重來一次 (zài chóng lái yī cì)" means "if I could do it again." "我都會 (wǒ dū huì)" means "I would." The sentence implies that whatever she was doing before, she would do it again. The full sentence depends on the context from the prior lines.

• 沒有明天般揮霍著

  ➔ Adverbial phrase describing the manner of the verb "揮霍 (huīhuò, squander)" using 般 (bān, like, as).

  ➔ "沒有明天般 (méiyǒu míngtiān bān)" means "like there's no tomorrow." It modifies the verb "揮霍著 (huīhuòzhe)," meaning squandering. This means they're squandering (time, resources, love, etc.) as if there's no tomorrow. The 着 implies a continuous action.

• 我依然還是那個她

  ➔ Emphasis using "還是 (háishì)" to reaffirm identity. Structure: Subject + 依然 + 還是 + Adjective/Noun.

  ➔ "依然 (yīrán)" means "still." "還是 (háishì)" means "still" in this context. The sentence emphasizes that the speaker is still that person (她), reaffirming their core identity despite the passage of time.

• 怎麼愛一個人我都沒忘

  ➔ Interrogative pronoun 怎麼 (zěnme) used in an assertive sentence to express “how to.” It’s not literally asking a question.

  ➔ "怎麼愛一個人 (zěnme ài yī ge rén)" translates to "how to love a person." In this sentence, it means that she hasn't forgotten *how* to love someone. 沒忘 (méi wàng) means "didn't forget."
