[English]

Parting in winter, in the deep night of Moscow

rows of soldiers stand guard on the street

No one here notices who fell in love with whom

Because suffering doesn't allow people to break down

In relationships, if you get used to defending yourself

Loneliness builds another wall around

Love, vague and faint, reminds me that this time

If I don't hold you close, it'll be a sin

Moscow has no tears, snow falling heavily, you look so exhausted from the cold

I'm single, I thought I could go on forever without anyone

Moscow has no tears, yet I weep, crying in praise

Giving my all, not afraid of heartbreak—your love is what makes you beautiful

...

Parting in winter, in the deep night of Moscow

Love, vague and faint, reminds me that this time

If I don't hold you close, it'll be a sin

Moscow has no tears, snow falling heavily, you look so exhausted from the cold

I'm single, I thought I could go on forever without anyone

Moscow has no tears, yet I weep, crying in praise

Giving my all, not afraid of heartbreak—your love is what makes you beautiful

...

Moscow has no tears, yet I weep, crying in praise

Giving my all, not afraid of heartbreak—your love is what makes you beautiful

Love at the oldest border

No longer asking to leave safely

...

[Chinese]

冬天的離別 在莫斯科的深夜

一列列軍隊 在街上森嚴戒備

這裏沒人察覺 誰又愛上了誰

因為苦難不許人崩潰

感情上若習慣防備

寂寞就多一道墻圍

愛情隱隱約約 提醒我這一回

再不擁抱就是罪

莫斯科沒有眼淚 大雪紛飛 你冷的好憔悴

單身的我 原本以為 可以一輩子不跟誰

莫斯科沒有眼淚 我卻流淚 不住哭的讚美

讓我付出不怕心碎 是你最好的美

冬天的離別 在莫斯科的深夜

一列列軍隊 在街上森嚴戒備

這裏沒人察覺 誰又愛上了誰

因為苦難不許人崩潰

感情上若習慣防備

寂寞就多一道墻圍

愛情隱隱約約 提醒我這一回

再不擁抱就是罪

莫斯科沒有眼淚 大雪紛飛 你冷的好憔悴

單身的我 原本以為 可以一輩子不跟誰

莫斯科沒有眼淚 我卻流淚 不住哭的讚美

讓我付出不怕心碎 是你最好的美

莫斯科沒有眼淚 我卻流淚 不住哭的讚美

讓我付出不怕心碎 是你最好的美

愛在最古老的國界

再不求能全身而退
