将漂浮的声音都吞没 描绘着贝壳上的轮廓
趁暮色未干枯让泪水藏匿那 未曾见过的颜色
如果胸中回想同一个景色 透着纯白寂静光泽
请慢慢闭上眼摇曳着那水面 黑夜吞噬了地平线
All the drifting noise is swallowed, as a silhouette overlaying the shell is drawn
Before the dusk is wilted let the tears hide away that never-before seen colour
If in your heart you were to remember the same scenery, that pure white touched upon by tranquil bits of lustre
Then please gently close your eyes, to sway with the water
As the night swallows the horizon
那哭泣的歌声破碎的波纹
即使挥手无法割舍
遗忘的话那嗜睡的花
就请你于此沉睡吧
That voice singing with sobs, the shattered ripples
No way to part with it even despite trying
If you were to forget, about that flower of somnolence [1]
Then please fall into a deep slumber here
你盛开于那盛夏的污浊
我流连于那温柔的疼痛
燃烧坠落的那星火 如梦一闪而过
在泪水溢满的湖中种下
那翠绿婆娑的情枝欲芽
梦中缓慢生长萌发 蚕食心底流沙
You bloomed in the filth of that midsummer
While I drifted in that warm hurt
That starry trail burning as it falls, is as transient as a dream
In the lake overflowing with my tears, I plant
My feelings and desires growing like a swaying emerald-green bud
Slowly sprouting and growing in my dream, to eat away at the flowing sands of time deep in my heart
陪我
多一些多一些的时间 让困倦随着时间忘却
困在没有呼吸的世界 与你之间逐渐失去关联
一天天一天天地沉淀 让涟漪随风拥抱湖面
困在没有交集的世界 归于泥泞在那天亮之前
Keep me for company
For a bit longer, a bit longer, as the weariness is forgotten with time
As I suffer in this breathless world, slowly I am losing my connection to you
Sinking each day by day, as the ripples embrace the surface of the lake with the winds
As I suffer in this world where we are not to meet, I am returning back to the muddiness before the break of dawn
你盛开于那盛夏的污浊
我流连于那温柔的疼痛
燃烧坠落的那星火 如梦一闪而过
在泪水溢满的湖中种下
那翠绿婆娑的情枝欲芽
梦中缓慢生长萌发 蚕食心底流沙
You bloomed in the filth of that midsummer
While I drifted in that warm hurt
That starry trail burning as it falls, is as transient as a dream
In the lake overflowing with my tears, I plant
My feelings and desires growing like a swaying emerald-green bud
Slowly sprouting and growing in my dream, to eat away at the flowing sands of time deep in my heart
陪我
多一些多一些的时间 让困倦随着时间忘却
困在没有呼吸的世界 与你之间逐渐失去关联
一天天一天天地沉淀 让涟漪随风拥抱湖面
困在没有交集的世界 归于泥泞在那天亮之前
Keep me for company
For a bit longer, a bit longer, as the weariness is forgotten with time
As I suffer in this breathless world, slowly I am losing my connection to you
Sinking each day by day, as the ripples embrace the surface of the lake with the winds
As I suffer in this world where we are not to meet, I am returning back to the muddiness before the break of dawn
