我想借天边 那轮将落未落的悬月
wǒ xiǎng jiè tiān biān nà lún jiāng luò wèi luò de xuán yuè

I want to borrow the borders of the sky, take the suspended moon that is soon to set, but has not yet set

 

悬一只蝴蝶 悬将至风雪
xuán yì zhī hú dié xuán jiāng zhì fēng xuě

Suspend a butterfly, suspend the impending snowstorm 

 

悬不合时宜里 忘我的一切
xuán bù hé shí yí lǐ wàng wǒ de yí qiè

Suspend the untimely suitability within; forget everything about me

 

悬一场梦 滴泪交换你
xuán yì chǎng mèng dī lèi jiāo huàn nǐ

Suspend what was a dream, a tear in exchange for you

 

心如焰
xīn rú yàn

Heart like a flame
 
要不然我们就这样 一万年
yào bu rán wǒ men jiù zhè yàng yí wàn nián

How about we stay like this for ten thousand years?

 

把时间泊在 说再见之前
bǎ shí jiān bó zài shuō zài jiàn zhī qián

Pause time before saying goodbye

 

用你 浅笑的甜
yòng nǐ qiǎn xiào de tián

Use the sweetness of your smile

 

我的泪之盐
wǒ de lèi zhī yán

The salt from my tears

 

做你的还 和我的亏欠
zuò nǐ de hái hé wǒ de kuī qiàn

To be your payment and my debt
 
你可知名哲的灵魂
nǐ kě zhī míng zhé de líng hún

Did you know that the soul of the wise

 

轻徊过沦陷
qīng huái guò lún xiàn

Lightly lingers past through the fall?

 

一颗心被爱恨撕裂
yì kē xīn bèi ài hèn sī liè

A heart that was torn apart by love and hate

 

也不肯飞远
yě bù kěn fēi yuǎn

Yet is unwilling to fly far
 
可知你铭心的一眼
kě zhī nǐ míng xīn de yì yǎn

You can tell from that one unforgettable look

 

如同入骨的一剑
rú tóng rù gǔ de yí jiàn

Like a sword piercing through to the bones

 

如缘似劫 不然得 化解
rú yuán sì jié bù rán dé huà jiě

Prophecy resembles disaster, it cannot not be resolved
 
要不然我们 就这样一万年
yào bu rán wǒ men jiù zhè yàng yí wàn nián

Or, how about we stay like this for ten thousand years

The vast, desolate wilderness of sand rolls over my longing; I return back to my years

mèng yì chǎng sī shǒu de huàn jué xīn suì hé yǐ wàn qiān

It was a dream, the illusion of staying together, a heart broken in no fewer than a thousand, ten thousand pieces

只因那清冷的暗夜 永记繁花落尽前
zhǐ yīn nà qīng lěng de àn yè yǒng jì fán huā luò jìn qián

It is only because of that quiet, cold, dark night; forever remember before the complicated/numerous/flourishing flowers fall

 

曾得少年 以吻相劝
céng dé shào nián yǐ wěn xiāng quàn

There was once a youth who tried to convince me with a kiss

 

将爱泊在 灰烬之前
jiāng ài bó zài huī jìn zhī qián

Take love and place it before ashes
