某年某月的某一天

on a certain day in a certain year

jiù xiàng yī zhāng pò suì de liǎn

就像一张破碎的脸

Like a broken face

nán yǐ kāi kǒu dào zài jiàn

难以开口道再见

It’s hard to say goodbye

jiù ràng yī qiè zǒu yuǎn

就让一切走远

Just let everything go away

zhè bù shì yī jiàn róng yì de shì

这不是一件容易的事

This is not an easy task

wǒ men què dōu méi yǒu kū qì

我们却都没有哭泣

But none of us cry

ràng tā dàn dàn dì lái

让它淡淡地来

Let it come lightly

ràng tā hǎo hǎo dì qù

让它好好地去

Let it go well

dào rú jīn nián fù yī nián

到如今年复一年

To this day, year after year

wǒ bù néng tíng zhǐ huái niàn

我不能停止怀念

I can't stop missing

huái niàn nǐ huái niàn cóng qián

怀念你 怀念从前

I miss you, miss the past

dàn yuàn nà hǎi fēng zài qǐ

但愿那海风再起

I hope the sea breeze rises again

zhǐ wèi nà làng huā de shǒu

只为那浪花的手

Only for the hands of the waves

qià shì nǐ de wēn róu

恰似你的温柔

Just like your tenderness
