你被写在我的歌里
Ni bei xie zai wo de ge li
You are written in my song
走过的路
zou3 guo4 de5 lu4
The roads I went through
是一阵魔术
shi4 yi2 zhen4 mo2 shu4
are a spell of magic
把所有的
ba3 suo3 you3 de5
turned all of the
好的坏的
hao3 de5 huai4 de5
good and bad
变成我的
bian4 cheng2 wo3 de5
into my
心里的苦
xin1 li3 de5 ku3
heart’s bitterness
就算不记得
jiu4 suan4 bu2 ji4 de5
Even if don’t remember
都化作这目光
du1 hua4 zuo4 zhe4 mu4 guang1
Let all change to this gaze
吟唱成一首歌
yin2 chang4 cheng2 yi4 shou3 ge1
and recite it into a song
而你像流进
er2 ni3 xiang4 liu2 jin4
However, you are like the flowing
诗里的嘈嘈水声
shi1 li3 de5 cao2 cao2 shui3 sheng1
bustling water sound in the poems
敲进我心门
qiao1 jin4 wo3 xin1 men1
You knocked and entered the door of my heart
拥抱了所有的恨
yong3 bao4 liao5 suo3 you3 de5 hen4
Embraced all of the hatred
滋养了干涸
zi1 yang3 liao5 gan1 he2
nourished the dryness
相信我能是你的
xiang1 xin4 wo3 neng2 shi4 ni3 de5
Let me believe that I can be yours
仿佛还看见昨日
fang3 fo4 hui2 kan4 jian4 zuo2 ri4
It seems that I can still see the yesterday
那张悲伤的脸庞
na4 zhang1 bei1 shang1 de5 lian3 pang2
that sorrowful face
快乐有时候竟然
kuai4 le4 you3 shi2 hou4 jin4g ran2
Happiness sometimes to one’s surprise
辣得像一记耳光
la4 de5 xiang4 yi2 ji4 er3 guang1
is as pungent as one slapping on the face
是你提醒我
shi4 ni3 ti2 xing3 wo3
It is you who reminds me
别怕去幻想
bie2 pa4 qu4 huan4 xiang3
Don’t be afraid to think fantastically
想我内心躲避惯的渴望
xiang3 wo3 nei4 xin1 duo3 bi4 guan4 de5 ke3 wang4
To think the desire which is habitually escaping and hiding in my heart
仿佛能看见明日
fang3 fo2 neng2 kan4 jian4 ming2 ri4
It seems I am able to see tomorrow
两串脚印的走廊
liang3 chuan4 jiao3 yin4 de5 zou3 lang2
The hallway of two strings of footprints
忧伤有时候竟被
you1 shang1 you3 shi2 hou4 jing4 bei4
Sorrow sometimes even was
你调味得像颗糖
ni3 diao2 wei4 de5 xiang4 ke1 tang2
seasoned like a candy by you
是你抓紧我
shi4 ni3 zhua1 jin3 wo3
Is you that hold me tightly
往前去张望
wang3 qian2 qu4 zhang1 wang4
to walk forward and look around
望我内心夹岸群花盛放
wang4 wo4 nei4 xin1 jia2 an4 qun2 hua1 sheng4 fang4
Look at those brilliantly blooming flowers inserted between my inner heart
我被写在
wo3 bei4 xie3 zai4
I was written in
你的眼睛里眨呀
ni3 de5 yan3 jin1g li3 zha1 ya5
your eyes blinking
走过的路
