又听见再见的那天
Yòu tīng jiàn zài jiàn de nà tiān
On the day I heard goodbye again
哭一场我重复了几遍
Kū yī chǎng wǒ chóng fù le jǐ biàn
I cried many times
拖着过去的人要道别
Tuō zhe guò qù de rén yào dào bié
I need to say goodbye to the people of the past I keep holding onto
下一段 再好一点
Xià yī duàn zài hǎo yī diǎn
The next stage [of my life] will be better
时间的答卷 交晚些
Shí jiān de dá juàn jiāo wǎn xiē
The answer sheet for time was submitted a bit late
终点继续蜿蜒
Zhōng diǎn jì xù wān yán
The road to the finish line continues to zigzag
我怕你来晚了一点
Wǒ pà nǐ lái wǎn le yī diǎn
I’m afraid you’ve arrived a bit late
留我在人海里擦肩
Liú wǒ zài rén hǎi lǐ cā jiān
You’ve left me rubbing shoulders with a sea of people
相遇之前每个长夜
Xiāng yù zhī qián měi gè cháng yè
Every long, dark night before I met you
都白白修炼
Dōu bái bái xiū liàn
I had been practicing Asceticism in vain
为寻觅 痛在所难免
Wéi xún mì tòng zài suǒ nán miǎn
In my search for you, pain was inevitable
宁愿你再晚点一些
Nìng yuàn nǐ zài wǎn diǎn yī xiē
I would rather you come later
浪费的能回馈补缺
Làng fèi de néng huí kuì bǔ quē
We can go back and fill the holes with what was wasted
沿途所有曲折情节
Yán tú suǒ yǒu qū zhé qíng jié
All the twists and turns along the road in our story
都是一种成全
Dōu shì yī zhǒng chéng quán
Are a way of making things whole
错过的 会得偿所愿
Cuò guò de huì dé cháng suǒ yuàn
Those who missed their opportunity will get what they wish for
我会等 你别怕晚点
Wǒ huì děng nǐ bié pà wǎn diǎn
I will wait for you; don’t be afraid of being a little late
我怕你来晚了一点
Wǒ pà nǐ lái wǎn le yī diǎn
I’m afraid you’ve arrived a bit late
留我在人海里擦肩
Liú wǒ zài rén hǎi lǐ cā jiān
You’ve left me rubbing shoulders with a sea of people
相遇之前每个长夜
Xiāng yù zhī qián měi gè cháng yè
Every long, dark night before I met you

I will wait for you; don’t be afraid of being a little late
等到雨停的那一天
Děng dào yǔ tíng de nà yī tiān
I’ll wait until the day the rain stops
延误的故事有人来写
Yán wù de gù shì yǒu rén lái xiě
Someone will write the story that we’ve put off writing
会不会忘了一些期待
Huì bù huì wàng le yī xiē qī dài
Will I forget some of my expectations
反而有惊喜出现
Fǎn ér yǒu jīng xǐ chū xiàn
And be pleasantly surprised instead?
Late is a song for the drama The First Frost, starring Bai Jing Ting and Zhang Ruo Nan.
