仍然沒有 遇到 那位跟我絕配的戀人
I still haven't met that my perfectly matched lover,
你根本也 未有出現 還是已然 逝去
Perhaps you haven't appeared, or maybe you have already passed away.
懷疑在某一個國度裡 的某一年 還未帶我到世上那天
I suspect that in a certain country, in a certain year, on a day that I haven't been born,
存在過 一位等我愛的某人 夜夜為我失眠
There existed a certain someone who loved me, losing sleep every night because of me.
* 從來未相識 已不在 這個人 極其實在 卻像個 虛構角色
We didn't get to know each other and you were already gone. This person is extremely real yet still similar to an imaginary character.
莫非今生 原定陪我來 卻去了 錯誤時代
Maybe you were destined to accompany me in this life, yet went to a different era?
情人若 寂寥地 出生在 1874 剛剛早 一百年 一個世紀
My lover born lonely in 1874, just one hundred years early, a century.
是否終身 都這樣 頑強地等 雨季會降臨赤地
Is my whole life going to be like this, stubbornly waiting? Will the rain fall on the desert?
為何未 及時地 出生在 1874 邂逅你 看守你 一起老死
Why did I not make it to be born in 1874, to meet you, to guard you, to grow old together?
互不相識 相處在 同年代中 仍可 同生 共死
Even if we didn't know each other but still be in the same era, we can still be born together and die together.
Repeat *

為何未 及時地 出生在 1874 邂逅你 看守你 一起老死
Why did I not make it to be born in 1874, to meet you, to guard you, to grow old together?
若果不可 相約在 和平地方 也與你 暢遊戰地
If we couldn't set up to meet at a peaceful place, I would still travel through war grounds with you.
為何未 及時地 出生在 1874 挽著你 的手臂 徹夜逃避
Why did I not make it to be born in 1874, to hold your arm to escape through the night.
漫天烽火 失散在 同年代中 仍可 同生 共死
Amongst the fiery war, if we lose each other in the same era, we can still be born together and die together.
