We Promised by Jane Zhang Translated by Xingfenzhen
Hello - One word that stuck at my throat
City - Like a background of mirage
We - like a universe a part
Goodbye - everything turns into dust
We promised that we would never let go of our holding hands
But reality says love alone is just not enough
At a crossroad
You turned left and I turned right
We both stubbornly not looking back
We promised that we would stay friends if we breakup
But time says we couldn't even say hello
When we meet again in the crowds
you have turned so thin
Yet I'm still lost in your eyes
Hello - One word that stuck at my throat
City - Like a background of mirage
We - like a universe a part
Goodbye - everything turns into dust
We promised that we would never let go of our holding hands
But reality says love alone is just not enough
At a crossroad
You turned left and I turned right
We both stubbornly not looking back
We promised that we would stay friends if we breakup
But time says we couldn't even say hello
When we meet again in the crowds
you have turned so thin
Yet I'm still lost in your eyes
We promised that we will grow old together (literally: we will grow old watching narrow stream flow eternally)
Yet now it will be someone else's promise (literally: someone else's something)
at the crossroads again
you turned left and I turned right
We both tried hard not to look back
We promised to meet again in the next eternity (meaning the next reincarnation)
Love will only live when time turns back in defeat
If we indeed meet again
Please don't be so thin
I want to alway be lost in your eyes
such as ridiculous things in love (literally: this is true love's ..... ridiculousness)
[if possible, I wish time could turn back to square one]
