山顶的风凉的想钻进我内心
shān dǐng de fēng liáng de xiǎng zuàn jìn wǒ nèi xīn
The wind at the top of the hill penetrates my heart with its coldness
沉默是我们最近唯一的话题
chén mò shì wǒ men zuì jìn wéi yī de huà tí
Silence has been our only topic of conversation recently
看曾经亲密的爱慢慢像友谊
kàn céng jīng qīn mì de ài màn màn xiàng yǒu yì
The love that was once deep has slowly become like friendship
爱是流星一坠落就不停
ài shì liú xīng yī zhuì luò jiù bú ting
Love is a shooting star, as it starts to fall, it will never stop
我们尝试让彼此差异能隐形
wǒ men cháng shì ràng bǐ cǐ chà yì néng yǐn xíng
We try to make our differences seem invisible
遗憾的是回避不能解决问题
yí hàn de shì huí bì bú néng jiě jué wèn tí
Regretfully avoidance cannot solve our problems
当我疲倦的凝望你憔悴表情
dāng wǒ pí juàn de níng wàng nǐ qiáo cuì biǎo qíng
When I tiredly look at your worn out expression
再不舍得也该让你远离
zài bú shě dé yě gāi ràng nǐ yuǎn lí
No matter how unwilling I am, it is time to let you go
握你的手坚持到最后一秒钟
wò nǐ de shǒu jiān chí dào zuì hòu yī miǎo zhōng
Holding on to your hand we persevere till the last second
哪怕爱要冰凉了
nǎ pà ài yào bīng liáng le
Even if love is turning icy cold
至少让回忆是暖的
zhì shǎo ràng huí yì shì nuǎn de
At least let our memories be warm
了解比爱难多了
le jiě bǐ ài nán duō le
Understanding is much harder than loving
我们都尽力了
wǒ men dōu jìn lì le
We’ve tried our best
也许温柔是停止(再)挽留
yě xǔ wēn róu shì tíng zhǐ (zài )wǎn liú
Maybe warmth is to stop holding you back (is to stop and hold you back again)
握你的手像耳语轻声说保重
wò nǐ de shǒu xiàng ěr yǔ qīng shēng shuō bǎo zhòng
Holding on to your hand, it is like softly saying ‘take care’
让眼睛就算湿了不只是痛也有感动
ràng yǎn jīng jiù suàn shī le bú zhī shì tòng yě yǒu gǎn dòng
Let our eyes, even though they are wet, are not due to pain only but also heartfelt feelings
以前每一次挥手都为了再握手
yǐ qián měi yī cì huī shǒu dōu wéi le zài wò shǒu
Every time we waved our hands before, it was to hold hands again
但这一次是为了放手
dàn zhè yī cì shì wéi le fàng shǒu
But this time it is to let go
