Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “If, At the Time”
wéi shí me nǐ dāng shí duì wǒ hǎo
为 什 么 你 当 时 对 我 好
Why is it that you used to be good to me
yòu wéi shí me xiàn zài biàn dé lěng dàn le
又 为 什 么 现 在 变 得 冷 淡 了
And why is it that now, we have become so distant
wǒ zhī dào ài yào zǒu nán zǔ náo
我 知 道 爱 要 走 难 阻 挠
I know that if love is going to go, it’s hard to stop it
fǎn zhèng bú shì wǒ de wǒ yě bú gāi yào
反 正 不 是 我 的 我 也 不 该 要
Anyway, I shouldn’t try to take what isn’t mine
nǐ hé wǒ céng jīng yǒu gòng tóng ài hǎo
你 和 我 曾 经 有 共 同 爱 好
You and me, we used to have common interests
shuí de ěr biān zǒng yǒu jué jù zài yíng rào
谁 的 耳 边 总 有 绝 句 在 萦 绕
Quatrains were always lingering next to whose ears
wǒ men liǎng yòng wén yán wén duì huà zhēn de hěn gǎo xiào
我 们 俩 用 文 言 文 对 话 真 的 很 搞 笑
When we used to talk in Classical Chinese
hái xiào nà cáo cāo tān mù zhe xiǎo qiáo
还 笑 那 曹 操 贪 慕 着 小 乔
and laugh at Cao Cao for longing after Xiao Qiao (although it’s not in his place to do that)
tiān huī le yǔ zhuì le
天 灰 了 雨 坠 了
The sky greys, the rain falls
shì xiàn yào mó hú le
视 线 要 模 糊 了
my eyesight is about to blur
cǐ shí gǎn jiào dào nǐ de zhòng yào
此 时 感 觉 到 你 的 重 要
I now feel your importance
ài zǒu le xīn zǒu le
爱 走 了 心 走 了
Love is gone, the heart is gone
nǐ shuō nǐ yào zǒu le
你 说 你 要 走 了
You say you’re going to leave
wǒ wéi nǐ chàng zuì hòu de gǔ yáo
我 为 你 唱 最 后 的 古 谣
I’m singing a final old song for you
hóng yǔ piáo pō fàn qǐ le huí yì zěn me qián
红 雨 瓢 泼 泛 起 了 回 忆 怎 么 潜
Red rain pours down, stirring up memories, how do I make them subside?
nǐ měi mù rú dāng nián liú zhuǎn wǒ xīn jiān
你 美 目 如 当 年 流 转 我 心 间
Your beautiful eyes are like they were in the olden days, circulating in my mind
dù kǒu biān zuì hòu yī miàn sǎ xià le jù diǎn
渡 口 边 最 后 一 面 洒 下 了 句 点
We see each other one last time next to the ferry, and the full stop point falls
yǔ nǐ ruò zhī rú chū jiàn hé xū gǎn shāng lí bié
与 你 若 只 如 初 见 何 须 感 伤 离 别
If our relationship can stay the way it was when we first met, why would we need to be sad about parting
nǐ hé wǒ céng jīng yǒu gòng tóng ài hǎo
你 和 我 曾 经 有 共 同 爱 好
You and me, we used to have common interests
shuí de ěr biān zǒng yǒu jué jù zài yíng rào
