满是冰的空杯 与你何干

mǎn shì bīng de kōng bēi yǔ nǐ hé gàn

An empty cup filled with ice. What's it to you?

拜托别来一句 相见恨晚

bàituō biélái yījù xiāngjiàn hènwǎn

Please! Don't say, "I wish we met sooner."

回不了头的人生 哪边是岸

huíbùliǎo tóude rénshēng nǎbiān shì'àn

In life, there's no turning back, the shore is on the other side.

这路黑难道你要陪我走一段

zhèlùhēi nándào nǐyào péiwǒ zǒu yīduàn

Are you really going to keep me company on this dark path?

一个守着规矩 叫人暗算

yīgè shǒuzhe guījǔ jiàorén ànsuàn

This one follows the rules and is betrayed.


一个像阎王 由不住拦

yīgè xiàng yánwáng yóubù zhùlán

That one, like the King of Hell, is unstoppable.


听过的道理千千万

tīngguò de dàolǐ qiānqiān wàn

I've heard countless theories,

却犯了迷糊是毒是药猜不穿

què fànle míhú shìdú shìyào cāi bù chuān

still befuddled: is it poison, is it medicine? I can't figure it out.

想不通 明明装得够自然

xiǎng bùtōng míngmíng zhuāng dé gòu zìrán

I don't get it. You're a natural at faking it

怎连笑都婉转

zěn lián xiào dōu wǎnzhuǎn

even your smile is so suave.


刚才横眉冷对 转眼坐立不安

gāngcái héngméi lěngduì zhuǎnyǎn zuòlì bù'ān

Just now, your knitted brows and cold stare, in the blink of an eye, turn into jittery unrest.


敞开心有多难

chǎngkāi xīn yǒu duōnàn

Why is it so hard to open your heart?

或许那 不甘无解的情感

huòxǔ nà bùgān wú jiě de qínggǎn

Perhaps these unrequited and unrelenting feelings

能把命运都推翻

néng bǎ mìngyùn dōu tuīfān

will upend destiny.

不想再多遗憾 就认彼此停留

bùxiǎngzài duō yíhàn jiùrèn bǐcǐ tíngliú

I don't want any more regrets, so give in. Let's be together

等一个圆满

děng yīgè yuánmǎn

and wait for our happily ever after.
