从此形成了撒哈拉

每想你一次,天上就掉下一滴水

于是形成了太平洋

Every time I miss you

There is a grain of sand falling from the sky

Then it forms Sahara desert

Every time I miss you

There is a grain of water falling from the sky

Then it forms the Pacific Ocean

醒来觉得甚是爱你

我愿意舍弃一切,以想念你终此一生

我一天一天明白你的平凡,

同时却一天一天愈更深切地爱你。

你如照镜子,你不会看得见你特别好的所在。

但你如走进我的心里来,

你一定能知道自己是怎样好法。

我们都是世上多余的人,

但至少我们对于彼此都是世界最重要的人。

我想作诗,写雨,写夜的相思,写你,写不出。

如果不是因为这世界有些古怪,

我巴不得永远和你厮守在一起。

寄给你全宇宙的爱和自太古至永劫的思念。

Due to its strangeness of the world

I want to stay with you forever

Send you all the love from the whole universe

And the mind of missing you from a long time ago

Because of you,I never stray too far from the sidewalk.
Because of you,I learned to play on the safe side.

Because of you,I find it hard to trust not only me, 

Because of you,I am afraid.

 

但为君故,不远陌上。

但为君故,惜身不徨。

但为君故,别无他信。

但为君故,诚恐如今。

If we can only encounter each other 

rather than stay with each other,

then I wish we had never encountered?

 

若只是遇你如一曲惊鸿,

未能濡沫以共。

莫如当初不相逢。

I’ll think of you every step of way.

 

人生恰如三月花,倾我一生一世念。

No man or woman is worth your tears,

and the one who is, won’t make you cry.

 

泪如珠玉不复惜,若是良人无须啼。

Got it?

In fact, 

Any romantic words can’t match
