Lyrics / Pinyin / English Translation:
书摊 和啤酒空罐 散落地上
Shūtān hé píjiǔ kōng guàn sàn luò dì shàng
The old bookstand and empty beer cans are scattered on the sidewalk
报废的回忆在路旁 有了锈斑
Bàofèi de huíyì zài lù páng yǒule xiù bān
Abandoned memories are rusted through time
有某种无所谓 在这小镇弥漫
Yǒu mǒu zhǒng wúsuǒwèi zài zhè xiǎo zhèn mímàn
A scent of ignorance flows through this town
这个城市步调 是如此的缓慢
Zhège chéngshì bùdiào shì rúcǐ de huǎnmàn
The pace of this city slows down
霓虹灯闪烁的倒影 靠在窗上
Níhóng dēng shǎnshuò de dào yǐng kào zài chuāng shàng
The sparks of neon signs reflect on the window
错过美好的那时光 能否再遇上
Cuòguò měihǎo de nà shíguāng néngfǒu zài yù shàng
Will the good times we missed ever return?
老旧的车站 空旷的车厢
Lǎojiù de chēzhàn kōngkuàng de chēxiāng
That aged train station and empty carriages
怀念从前的人来人往
Huáiniàn cóngqián de rén lái rén wǎng
How I’ve missed the good old days
招牌的灯泡 在夜里微亮
Zhāopái de dēngpào zài yè lǐ wēi liàng
The lights from the billboards glimmer in the dark
过去的背包 就留在异乡
Guòqù de bèibāo jiù liú zài yìxiāng
I left the old backpack behind
于是我决定 离开这个地方
Yúshì wǒ juédìng líkāi zhège dìfāng
And decided to leave this place
当你收到信 我还在流浪
Dāng nǐ shōu dào xìn wǒ hái zài liúlàng
By the time you get my letter, I’ll still be out wandering
那年的约定 都放在心上
Nà nián de yuēdìng dōu fàng zài xīn shàng
That promise of ours is still kept in my heart
随身的照片里 你微笑的模样
Suíshēn de zhàopiàn lǐ nǐ wéixiào de múyàng
The photo of you smiling, I still carry it around
亲爱的 你现在怎么样
Qīn’ài de nǐ xiànzài zěnme yàng
My dear, how are you doing?
当你收到信 我还在流浪
Dāng nǐ shōu dào xìn wǒ hái zài liúlàng
By the time you get my letter, I’ll still be out wandering
想起牵着手 走过的小巷
Xiǎngqǐ qiānzhe shǒu zǒuguò de xiǎo xiàng
The alley we walked down holding hands together
我依然记得 年少初吻的那教堂
Wǒ yīrán jìdé niánshào chūwěn de nà jiàotáng
The church where we had our first kiss, I still remember
还有一起画爱心 的那道墙
Hái yǒu yīqǐ huà àixīn de nà dào qiáng
And that wall where we painted our hearts together
