來生
Language: Mandarin
Released: 2016
Lyrics: Qian Zi
Composition: Dou Zhi Wen

两只困在深渊的鱼
Liǎng zhǐ kùn zài shēn yuān de yú
Two fish trapped in an abyss
流着泪 大雨滂沱
Liú zhe lèi dà yǔ pāng tuó
Are crying as the heavy rain pours.
隔着咫尺天涯的我
Gé zhe zhǐ chǐ tiān yá de wǒ
I, who am so close yet separated a world apart from you,
来不及 相濡以沫
Lái bu jí xiāng rú yǐ mò
Can’t come in time to help you.

褪色的山河
Tuì sè de shān hé
The fading mountains and rivers (of a painting)
留下冷灰的水墨
Liú xià lěng huī de shuǐ mò
Leave behind a cold gray colored ink.
往事不如烟
Wǎng shì bù rú yān
The past is not like smoke.
恍然间 江山为你萧索
Huǎng rán jiān jiāng shān wéi nǐ xiāo suǒ
Suddenly the rivers and mountains become bleak because of you.

如果有来生
Rú guǒ yǒu lái shēng
If there is a next life,
我等一句结果
Wǒ děng yī jù jié guǒ
I’ll wait for the conclusion.
当恩怨情愁退后
Dāng ēn yuàn qíng chóu tuì hòu
When gratitude, resentment, love, and worries back away
断崖为谁寂寞
Duàn yá wéi shéi jì mò
Because of whom is the cliff lonely?
你口是心非的谎
Nǐ kǒu shì xīn fēi de huǎng
Your lies of duplicity,
爱恨嗔痴我奈何什么
Ài hèn chēn chī wǒ nài hé shén me
Love, hate, anger, and stupidity… How do I deal with them?

如果有来生
Rú guǒ yǒu lái shēng
If there is a next life,
我等你的执着
Wǒ děng nǐ de zhí zhuó
I’ll wait for your persistence.
飞蛾究竟为谁活
Fēi é jiū jìng wéi shéi huó
Who exactly does a moth live for?
生死赴汤蹈火
Shēng sǐ fù tāng dǎo huǒ
It’s unafraid of life or death.
你淹没在我眼中
Nǐ yān mò zài wǒ yǎn zhōng
You are submerged in my eyes
离别婆娑 一梦云烟过
Lí bié pó suō yī mèng yún yān guò
Whirling away, a dream passing by like a cloud of smoke.
