青春若有张不老的脸但愿它永远不被改变

qīng chūn ruò yǒu zhāng bù lǎo de liǎn dàn yuàn tā yǒng yuǎn bù bèi gǎi biàn

If youth had an ageless face, I wish it would never change

许多梦想总编织太美跟着迎接幻灭

xǔ duō mèng xiǎng zǒng biān zhī tài měi gēn zhe yíng jiē huàn miè

Many dreams are always woven too beautifully, only to meet disillusion

爱上你是最快乐的事却又换来最痛苦的悲

ài shàng nǐ shì zuì kuài lè de shì què yòu huàn lái zuì tòng kǔ de bēi

Falling in love with you was the happiest thing, but it brought the most painful sorrow

苦涩交错爱的甜美我怎样都学不会

kǔ sè jiāo cuò ài de tián měi wǒ zěn yàng dōu xué bù huì

The bitterness and sweetness of love intertwine, yet I can never learn it

哦眼泪眼泪都是我的体会成长的滋味

ó yǎn lèi yǎn lèi dōu shì wǒ de tǐ huì chéng zhǎng de zī wèi

Oh, tears, tears are all my experiences, the taste of growing up

哦眼泪忍住眼泪不让你看见

ó yǎn lèi rěn zhù yǎn lèi bù ràng nǐ kàn jiàn

Oh, tears, I hold back my tears, not letting you see

哦我在改变孤单的感觉你从不曾发现我笑中还有泪

ó wǒ zài gǎi biàn gū dān de gǎn jué nǐ cóng bù céng fā xiàn wǒ xiào zhōng hái yǒu lèi

Oh, I am changing, the feeling of loneliness, you never realised there were tears behind my smile

爱上你是最快乐的事却又换来最痛苦的悲

ài shàng nǐ shì zuì kuài lè de shì què yòu huàn lái zuì tòng kǔ de bēi

Falling in love with you was the happiest thing, but it brought the most painful sorrow

苦涩交错爱的甜美我怎样都学不会

kǔ sè jiāo cuò ài de tián měi wǒ zěn yàng dōu xué bù huì

The bitterness and sweetness of love intertwine, yet I can never learn it

哦眼泪眼泪都是我的体会成长的滋味

Oh, I am changing, the feeling of loneliness, you never realised there were tears behind my smile

哦眼泪眼泪流过无言的夜心痛的滋味

ó yǎn lèi yǎn lèi liú guò wú yán de yè xīn tòng de zī wèi

Oh, tears, tears flow through the silent night, the taste of heartbreak

哦眼泪擦干眼泪忘掉一切曾有的眷恋

ó yǎn lèi cā gān yǎn lèi wàng diào yī qiè céng yǒu de juàn liàn

Oh, tears, wipe away the tears and forget everything, all the past affections

哦眼泪是苦眼泪是伤悲哦眼泪都是你

ó yǎn lèi shì kǔ yǎn lèi shì shāng bēi ó yǎn lèi dōu shì nǐ

Oh, tears are bitter, tears are sorrow, oh, all the tears are because of you

哦眼泪是甜眼泪是昨天哦眼泪不流泪

Oh, tears are sweet, tears are yesterday, oh, tears don't fall anymore
