A masterpiece from the well-known Chinese singer Jeff Chang, this song is about the final moments before a break-up. These moments are that of a peaceful break-up, harmonous, kind and forgiving. The voice of this song wants to leave happy memories after the break-up, and therefore yearns for final hug before they finally say “good-bye” to each other.
Lyrics:
天 为何总要黑
爱 为何变忌讳
我想要的并不是并不是这安慰
当眼泪跌碎
一切怎挽回
心 为何想诉罪
痛 为何还不退
说无所谓启不是启不是
太虚伪太可悲
想爱的机会
到底是谁在支配
*给我最后温柔
抱在胸口
假装不必放手
还有以后
让多年后我回头
相信你的爱没尽头
给你最后温柔
你的自由
不要让你泪流
不要内疚
只要你回头
依然觉得有想我的理由
心 为何想诉罪
痛 为何还不退
说无所谓启不是启不是
太虚伪太可悲
再一次机会
我渴望的你不给
*给我最后温柔
抱在胸口
假装不必放手
还有以后
让多年后我回头
相信你的爱没尽头
给你最后温柔
你的自由
不要让你泪流
不要内疚
只要你回头
依然觉得有想我的理由
给我最后温柔
抱在胸口
假装不必放手
还有以后
让多年后我回头
相信你的爱没尽头
给你最后温柔
你的自由
不要让你泪流
不要内疚
只要你回头
会承认我们不止是朋友
Translations by Tales Zephyrus Lucrex:
The sky, why must it always come to dark?
Love, why has it become forbidden?
What I want is not this consolation
When tears fall and splatters
how would everything be recovered
My heart, why is it guilty?
Pain, why has it not subsided?
Isn’t saying “It does not matter”
too pretentious, too sad?
The chance to love
who is it giving it out?
*Embrace me with your final gentleness
hold me tight
pretend that we do not have to let go
that we still have a tomorrow
so that when years pass
I would believe that your love is eternal
I’ll embrace you with my final gentleness
giving you your freedom
I wouldnt let you cry
please don’t feel guilty
as long as when you look back at our past
you would feel that you have reasons to think of me
My heart, why is it guilty?
Pain, why has it not subsided?
Isn’t saying “It does not matter”
too pretentious, too sad?
The last chance
I long for, you would not grant me
*Embrace me with your final gentleness
hold me tight
pretend that we do not have to let go
that we still have a tomorrow
so that when years pass
I would believe that your love is eternal
I’ll embrace you with my final gentleness
giving you your freedom
I wouldnt let you cry
please don’t feel guilty
as long as when you look back at our past
you would feel that you have reasons to think of me
Embrace me with your final gentleness
hold me tight
pretend that we do not have to let go
that we still have a tomorrow
so that when years pass
I would believe that your love is eternal
I’ll embrace you with my final gentleness
giving you your freedom
I wouldnt let you cry
please don’t feel guilty
as long as when you look back at our past
you will acknowledge that we were more than just friends
