李健 LI Jian - 你一言我一语 Talk Ceaselessly to Each Other

你一言我一语 Talk Ceaselessly to Each Other

曲词唱：李健

编曲：刘卓

Music, lyrics, and singer: LI Jian

Translated by PalmtreeH

不是所有的相遇 往后成相聚

No all encounters lead to future unions

随口而出的言语 可能是预言

Casually uttered words could be prophecies

这一切 是谁在安排

Whose arrangements is all this

难道只有听从和等待

Nothing can be done but comply and wait?

当奔忙在寒风中  

When scurrying in cold winds 

换取平凡的生活

in exchange of an ordinary life

可我 并不感觉很难耐  

I don’t feel unbearable 

当晚风送走夏日

When evening wind sends the summer away

留绐我漫漫长夜   

leaving me with endless night

是甚么 竟给我刺骨般寒泠

What is it that gave me the stinging chills

还要走多少弯路 才能遇见你

How many more curved roads must I travel before encountering you

堆积如山的话语   等着你开启 

The words piled high as mountains are waiting for you to turn on

这一生 似乎无从选择  

This life seems out of choices 

所以要找人说苦与乐

so we need to find someone to tell its bitterness and sweetness

当雾霾笼罩大地

When the smog covers the earth

来不及气喘吁吁 

and we can barely pant

可我并不感觉很难耐  

I don’t feel so unbearable

当万家灯火熄灭   

When the lights go out in thousands of homes

风平浪静的月夜  

in the calm and quiet moonlit nights

是孤独 竟像海啸般向我袭来

It is loneliness that attacks me as a tsunami

我所梦寐以求的

What I have been dreaming for 

无非你一言我一语

is no more than talking ceaselessly to each other

走在 喧嚣拥挤的人群里

while we walk in the roaring crowd

当万家灯火点亮  

When the lights go on in thousands of homes

欢声笑语似天籁

happy chatters and laughter are like the sound of heaven

是谁 乘着风 正向我而来 

Who’s the one that is riding the wind to me

Note: 你一言我一语 can be literally translated as "a word from you and then a word from me", meaning two or more people talk one after another, to one another or targeting someone else. In the context of the song, it basically means a couple talk to each other constantly, a sign that they enjoy a warm and close relationship.
