Lyrics: Liao Yu, He Hui Hui
Composition: He Hui Hui
又一次你站在我的对面
Yòu yī cì nǐ zhàn zài wǒ de duì miàn
Once again, you are standing before me.
讲述着我不熟悉的世界
Jiǎng shù zhe wǒ bù shú xī de shì jiè
You’re talking about a world that’s unfamiliar to me.
那些看似遥远 却横在你我之间
Nà xiē kàn sì yáo yuǎn què héng zài nǐ wǒ zhī jiān
Those things may seem far away, but they’re lying right between us.
互相试验 谁先越过边界
Hù xiāng shì yàn shéi xiān yuè guò biān jiè
We keep testing each other to see who will cross the boundary first.
如果可以再靠近你多些
Rú guǒ kě yǐ zài kào jìn nǐ duō xiē
If I could get a little closer to you,
是否能将回忆浅浅重叠
Shì fǒu néng jiāng huí yì qiǎn qiǎn chóng dié
Could we make our memories start to overlap?
时间筑起墙垣 让孤单至少安全
Shí jiān zhù qǐ qiáng yuán ràng gū dān zhì shǎo ān quán
Time has built a wall so that it at least felt safe to be lonely.
别让了解 变成一种冒险
Bié ràng liǎo jiě biàn chéng yī zhǒng mào xiǎn
Don’t make getting to know you become something risky.
我们各执一端
Wǒ men gè zhí yī duān
We’re each on a different side
布下了棋盘 又进退两难
Bù xià le qí pán yòu jìn tuì liǎng nán
Of the chessboard we’ve laid out, and we can no longer move forward or retreat.
总是期盼 让对方先心软 才心安
Zǒng shì qī pàn ràng duì fāng xiān xīn ruǎn cái xīn ān
We’re always waiting for the other to become softhearted before we feel at ease.
假装爱与输赢无关
Jiǎ zhuāng ài yǔ shū yíng wú guān
We pretend that love has nothing to do with winning or losing.
兜兜转转在迂回中试探
Dōu dou zhuàn zhuan zài yū huí zhōng shì tàn
We’re going around and around in circles probing each other.
才坦然没有天生的圆满
Cái tǎn rán méi yǒu tiān shēng de yuán mǎn
Only then are we at ease that no one is born perfect.
毛衣虽然温暖 却有扎人的痛感
Máo yī suī rán wēn nuǎn què yǒu zhā rén de tòng gǎn
Even though a wool sweater is warm, it still feels prickly.
试着习惯 也是一种勇敢
Shì zhe xí guàn yě shì yī zhǒng yǒng gǎn
It can also be courageous to try to get used to something.
我们各执一端
Wǒ men gè zhí yī duān
We’re each on a different side
布下了棋盘 又进退两难
Bù xià le qí pán yòu jìn tuì liǎng nán
Of the chessboard we’ve laid out, and we can no longer move forward or retreat.
总是期盼 让对方先心软 才心安
Zǒng shì qī pàn ràng duì fāng xiān xīn ruǎn cái xīn ān
We’re always waiting for the other to become softhearted before we feel at ease.
假装爱与输赢无关
Jiǎ zhuāng ài yǔ shū yíng wú guān
We pretend that love has nothing to do with winning or losing.
我们各留一半
Wǒ men gè liú yī bàn
We’ve each held back half [of ourselves].
将自己完整 再摊给你看
Jiāng zì jǐ wán zhěng zài tān gěi nǐ kàn
Showing you my complete self,
不去期盼 要对方的答案 做判断
Bù qù qī pàn yào duì fāng de dá àn zuò pàn duàn
I’m no longer waiting for your answer before I decide for myself.
感情成了博弈交换 才不堪
Gǎn qíng chéng le bó yì jiāo huàn cái bù kān
When love becomes a game of exchanges, it’s no longer bearable.
Boundary is the ending song for the drama As Beautiful as You, starring Tan Song Yun and Xu Kai.
