kong qiu qian / 空秋千 - lin yu zhong

荡秋千
dang qiu qian
Playing on a swing,
来回终究要停在原点
lai hui zhong jiu yao ting zai yuan dian
To and fro; in the end it must stop at the starting point.
望太远
wang tai yuan
Looking too far ahead,
眼前幸福却忽略
yan qian xing fu que hu lve
The happiness nearest to us became neglected.
晃半圈
huang ban quan
Swinging half a round,
圆不了爱恋
yuan bu liao ai lian
The circle of love could not be completed.
高一遍低一遍
gao yi bian di yi bian
Sometimes high, sometimes low,
风就吹散了永远
feng jiu qiu san le yong yu
The wind blew away our eternity.
还想为你摇秋千
hai xiang wei ni yao qiu qian
I still wish to push the swing for you,
对着夕阳扮鬼脸
dui zhe xi yang ban gui lian
To pull faces at the setting sun.
若月光再美一点
ruo yue guang zai mei yi dian
If the moonlight became a little more beautiful,
我们会否把手牵
wo men hui fou ba shou qian
Would we then be holding hands?
还想被你碎碎念
hai xiang bei ni sui sui nian
I still wish to be nagged at by you,
当数流星的配乐
dang shu liu xing de pei yu
And treat it as the music accompaniment to shooting stars.
你却说你等不到天亮
ni que shuo ni deng bu dao tian liang
You said that you could not wait till daylight has come,
空秋千陪整夜
kong qiu qian pei zheng ye
An empty swing accompanied me throughout the night.

秋千和我失眠
qiu qian he wo shi mian
The swing and I lost sleep together,
在你影子身边
zai ni ying zi shen bian
At your shadow's side.
这公园太想念
zhe gong yuan tai xiang nian
This garden holds too much memories,
你无邪的笑脸
ni wu xia de xiao lian
Of your innocent, smiling face.
