票根长长人龙
piào gēn cháng cháng rén lóng
Ticket stubs, long queues of people

左手牵著右手
zuǒ shǒu qiān zhe yòu shǒu
Left hand holding right hand

回忆慢慢停格浓缩
huí yì màn man tíng gé nóng suō
Memories slowly freeze-frame and condense

雨季没有停过
yǔ jì méi yǒu tíng guò
The rainy season never stopped

时钟静止不动
shí zhōng jìng zhǐ bù dòng
The clock stands still

我在以前你在以后
wǒ zài yǐ qián nǐ zài yǐ hòu
I’m in the past, you’re in the after

我只是比谁都还念旧
wǒ zhǐ shì bǐ shéi dōu hái niàn jiù
I’m just more nostalgic than anyone

念旧是我的温柔
niàn jiù shì wǒ de wēn róu
Nostalgia is my tenderness

一举一动你活在我每一秒钟
yī jǔ yī dòng nǐ huó zài wǒ měi yī miǎo zhōng
Every move — you live in my every second

我也不想要这么念旧
wǒ yě bù xiǎng yào zhè me niàn jiù
I don’t want to be this nostalgic either

念旧的人很寂寞
niàn jiù de rén hěn jì mò
Nostalgic people are very lonely

风吹心动就期待是你回来过
fēng chuī xīn dòng jiù qī dài shì nǐ huí lái guò
When the wind stirs my heart, I hope it’s you coming back

你的牙刷没换过
nǐ de yá shuā méi huàn guò
Your toothbrush was never replaced

你的毛巾轻抚我
nǐ de máo jīn qīng fǔ wǒ
Your towel gently caresses me

你的枕头多宽厚
nǐ de zhěn tou duō kuān hòu
Your pillow, so broad and generous

你的被子拥抱我
nǐ de bèi zi yōng bào wǒ
Your blanket embraces me

房间像座山洞
fáng jiān xiàng zuò shān dòng
The room is like a cave

故事舍不得丢
gù shì shě bù dé diū
Stories I can’t bear to throw away

回声总在心头轰隆
huí shēng zǒng zài xīn tóu hōng lóng
Echoes always rumble in my heart

呢喃融进风中
ní nán róng jìn fēng zhōng
Whispers melt into the wind

落叶落得洒脱
luò yè luò de sǎ tuō
Fallen leaves fall so freely

念的是你旧的是我
niàn de shì nǐ jiù de shì wǒ
What I miss is you; what’s old is me
