天天都有落叶特别是今夜

tiān tiān dōu yǒu luò yè　tè bié shì jīn yè

Every day there are falling leaves, especially tonight

当沙沙的风吹每一片叶掉一滴泪

dāng shā shā de fēng chuī　měi yī piàn yè　diào yī dī lèi

When the rustling wind blows, every leaf drops a tear

夜夜有人心碎他们相信谁

yè yè yǒu rén xīn suì　tā men xiāng xìn shuí

Night after night, hearts are broken, who do they believe

当爱被解了约作何感觉

dāng ài bèi jiě le yuē　zuò hé gǎn jué

When love is unbound, what does it feel like

莫非无尤也无悔依旧痴痴收藏落叶

mò fēi wú yóu yě wú huǐ　yī jiù chī chī shōu cáng luò yè

Perhaps blameless and regretless, still foolishly collecting falling leaves

傻的心傻到哭也流不出泪

shǎ de xīn　shǎ dào kū　yě liú bù chū lèi

A foolish heart, so foolish that it cries but tears won't fall

我无所谓我冷若冰淡若水

wǒ wú suǒ wèi　wǒ lěng ruò bīng　dàn ruò shuǐ

I don't care, I am as cold as ice, as indifferent as water

我不为梦留一点空侵掠我紧闭心扉

wǒ bù wèi mèng　liú yī diǎn kōng　qīn luè wǒ jǐn bì xīn fēi

I don't dream, leaving a little space, invading my tightly closed heart

当感情是唯一解不开的结而人爱听谁伤了谁

dāng gǎn qíng shì wéi yī jiě bù kāi de jié　ér rén　ài tīng shuí shāng le shuí

When emotions are the only knot that cannot be untied, and people love to hear who hurt whom

我愿是风中飘然轻落的叶

wǒ yuàn shì fēng zhōng　piāo rán qīng luò de yè

I would like to be a leaf, drifting and gently falling in the wind

我无所谓我伤过心掉过泪

wǒ wú suǒ wèi　wǒ shāng guò xīn　diào guò lèi

I don't care, I have been hurt, I have shed tears

我只在乎爱本无罪何苦要陷入重围

wǒ zhī zài hū　ài běn wú zuì　hé kǔ yào xiàn rù zhòng wéi

I only care that love is innocent, why bother getting entangled in a siege

当世界被感情蒙上一层灰而我宁愿是最后的落叶

dāng shì jiè bèi gǎn qíng méng shàng yī céng huī　ér wǒ　níng yuàn shì zuì hòu de luò yè

When the world is covered in a layer of gray due to emotions, I would rather be the last falling leaf

With imagery of falling leaves, the song conveys a deep sense of loss, resilience, and the bittersweet acceptance of life's pain, echoing themes of love's innocence amidst emotional turmoil.

Detailed Insights

The song's poignant imagery of falling leaves and the wind's rustling serves as a metaphor for emotional release and the inevitability of loss. The lyrics express a struggle between vulnerability and self-preservation, where the protagonist rejects the constraints of emotional entanglement. Despite the sorrow and past heartache, there is a sense of acceptance and detachment, as symbolized by the recurring line "I don't care," emphasizing a stoic approach to life's challenges.

Throughout the song, A-Mei reflects on the futility of holding onto past hurts, while also acknowledging that love, at its core, is innocent. The metaphor of the last leaf drifting away in the wind poignantly captures the finality of emotional release, yet the song also highlights the beauty of resilience, choosing to move on despite the weight of emotional scars. The song's contemplative nature invites the listener to reflect on the balance between heartache and healing, urging an emotional rebirth in the face of adversity.
