在东京铁塔 第一次眺望
at the Tokyo Tower, first time looking out
kan deng huo mo fang zhui luo de xing guang
看灯火模仿 坠落的星光
looking at the lights imitating the fallen star
wo zhong yu dao da dan que geng bei shang
我终於到达 但却更悲伤
I’ve finally arrived but sadder than before

一个人完成 我们的梦想
I‘ve achieved our goal

你总说 时间还很多 你可以等我
you’ve always said, there is still lots of time, you can wait for me
yi qian wo bu dong de, wei bi ming tian jiu you yi hou
以前我不懂得 未必明天 就有以后
before I didn’t understand, that there’s a tomorrow, doesn’t mean there’s a future
(***beginning of chorus)
xiang nian shi hui hu xi de tong ,ta huo zai wo shen shang suo you jiao luo
想念是会呼吸的痛 它活在我身上所有角落

regretting not have cared enough hurts, hating not have understood you enough hurts, wanting to see you but can’t hurts the most

wo yue lai yue xiang bei ke, pa xin bei ren chu peng ,ni hui lai na jiu hao le 我越来越像贝壳 怕心被人触碰 你回来那就好了
I’m more and more like a shell, afraid of being contacted by people, it’ll be okay if you are back
neng chong lai na jiu hao le
能重来那就好了
it’ll be okay if everything can just start over
After all, both choice is good. Like the poem “The road not taken”
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
