Fly Away

Sandy Lam (林憶蓮)
你打开一扇窗
nǐ dǎ kāi yī shàn chuāng
You open a window
我看见窗外的希望
wǒ kàn jiàn chuāng wài de xī wàng
I see hope outside the window
你说了听不懂的话
nǐ shuō le tīng bù dǒng de huà
You said something I couldn't understand
才发现渴望
cái fā xiàn kě wàng
Only then did I realize my desire
你点了一盏灯
nǐ diǎn le yī zhǎn dēng
You lit a lamp
我看见了明亮
wǒ kàn jiàn le míng liàng
I saw the brightness
你慢慢走开
nǐ màn màn zǒu kāi
You slowly walked away
才发现无奈
cái fā xiàn wú nài
Only then did I realize the helplessness
其实没有摆脱
qí shí méi yǒu bǎi tuō
Actually, there's no escape
不过是故作沉默
bù guò shì gù zuò chén mò
It's just pretending to be silent
该如何安慰未知的岁月?
gāi rú hé ān wèi wèi zhī de suì yuè?
How to comfort the unknown years?
不要再如此狼狈
bú yào zài rú cǐ láng bèi
Don't be so embarrassed anymore
我独自穿越这条伤心的街
wǒ dú zì chuān yuè zhè tiáo shāng xīn de jiē
I walk alone through this sorrowful street
怎么忘记你回过头的身影?
zěn me wàng jì nǐ huí guò tóu de shēn yǐng?
How to forget the image of you turning back?
我鼓起勇气忘记这个距离
wǒ gǔ qǐ yǒng qì wàng jì zhè ge jù lí
I muster the courage to forget this distance
怎么告诉你爱已慢慢烧尽?
zěn me gào sù nǐ ài yǐ màn màn shāo jǐn?
How to tell you that love has slowly burned out?
不如远走高飞自己解围
bù rú yuǎn zǒu gāo fēi zì jǐ jiě wéi
Better to flee and find my own way out
我无路可退
wǒ wú lù kě tuì
I have no way to retreat
怎么对你说出口?
zěn me duì nǐ shuō chū kǒu?
How to say it to you?
怎么对你说爱我?
zěn me duì nǐ shuō ài wǒ?
How to tell you to love me?
我独自穿越这条伤心的街

How to feel everything about you?
我鼓起勇气忘记这个距离
wǒ gǔ qǐ yǒng qì wàng jì zhè ge jù lí
