A Lifetime of Waiting (一生守候)

Sarah Chen (陳淑樺)
起初不经意的你 和少年不经事的我
qǐ chū bù jīng yì de nǐ hé shào nián bù jīng shì de wǒ
At first, you and I, the young and inexperienced, were unaware.
红尘中的情缘只因那生命匆匆不语的胶着
hóng chén zhōng de qíng yuán zhǐ yīn nà shēng mìng cōng cōng bù yǔ de jiāo zhuó
The ties of fate in this worldly life are silent and hurried, yet entangled.
想是人世间的错 或前世流传的因果
xiǎng shì rén shì jiān de cuò huò qián shì liú chuán de yīn guǒ
It seems to be the world's mistake, or perhaps the karma of a past life.
终生的所有也不惜换取刹那阴阳的交流
zhōng shēng de suǒ yǒu yě bù xī huàn qǔ chà nà yīn yáng de jiāo liú
For a lifetime, everything could be exchanged for a fleeting moment of connection between life and death.
来易来去难去 数十载的人世游
lái yì lái qù nán qù shù shí zài de rén shì yóu
Coming is easy, leaving is hard; decades of wandering through life.
分易分聚难聚 爱与恨的千古愁
fēn yì fēn jù nán jù ài yǔ hèn de qiān gǔ chóu
Departing is easy, reuniting is hard; the eternal sorrow of love and hate.
本应属于你的心 它依然护紧我胸口
běn yīng shǔ yú nǐ de xīn tā yī rán hù jǐn wǒ xiōng kǒu
The heart that should belong to you still tightly protects my chest.
为只为那尘世转变的面孔后的翻云覆雨手
wèi zhǐ wèi nà chén shì zhuǎn biàn de miàn kǒng hòu de fān yún fù yǔ shǒu
Only for that transforming face in the world, behind which lies a master of change.
来易来去难去 数十载的人世游
lái yì lái qù nán qù shù shí zài de rén shì yóu
Coming is easy, leaving is hard; decades of wandering through life.
分易分聚难聚 爱与恨的千古愁
fēn yì fēn jù nán jù ài yǔ hèn de qiān gǔ chóu
Departing is easy, reuniting is hard; the eternal sorrow of love and hate.
于是不愿走的你 要告别已不见的我
yú shì bù yuàn zǒu de nǐ yào gào bié yǐ bú jiàn de wǒ
Thus, you, who do not wish to leave, must bid farewell to the version of me that is now unseen.
至今世间仍有隐约的耳语跟随我俩的传说
zhì jīn shì jiān réng yǒu yǐn yuē de ěr yǔ gēn suí wǒ liǎ de chuán shuō
To this day, there are still faint whispers in the world following our legend.

滚滚红尘里有隐约的耳语跟随我俩的传说
gǔn gǔn hóng chén lǐ yǒu yǐn yuē de ěr yǔ gēn suí wǒ liǎ de chuán shuō
In the bustling world, faint whispers follow the tale of the two of us.
