Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “After”
zhī zǐ huā bái huā bàn
栀 子 花 白 花 瓣
White Gardenia petals
luò zài wǒ lán sè bǎi zhě qún shàng
落 在 我 蓝 色 百 褶 裙 上
Fall on to my blue pleated skirt
ài nǐ nǐ qīng shēng shuō
爱 你 你 轻 声 说
“I love you” you softly said
wǒ dī xià tóu wén jiàn yī zhèn fēn fāng
我 低 下 头 闻 见 一 阵 芬 芳
I lowered my head and took in the fragrance
nà gè yǒng héng de yè wǎn
那 个 永 恒 的 夜 晚
I was seventeen
shí qī suì zhòng xià
十 七 岁 仲 夏
On that everlasting night
nǐ wěn wǒ de nà gè yè wǎn
你 吻 我 的 那 个 夜 晚
That you kissed me
ràng wǒ wǎng hòu de shí guāng
让 我 往 后 的 时 光
From that moment
měi dāng yǒu gǎn tàn
每 当 有 感 叹
every time I sigh
zǒng xiǎng qǐ dāng tiān de xīng guāng
总 想 起 当 天 的 星 光
It makes me think back to the starlight that night
nǐ dōu rú hé huí yì wǒ
你 都 如 何 回 忆 我
How do you remember me
dài zhe xiào huò shì chén mò
带 着 笑 或 是 沉 默
With a smile or a silently
zhè xiē nián lái
这 些 年 来
These last few years
yǒu méi yǒu rén néng ràng nǐ bú jì mò
有 没 有 人 能 让 你 不 寂 寞
Has there been anyone who stops you feeling lonely
hòu lái wǒ zǒng suàn xué huì le rú hé qù ài
后 来 我 总 算 学 会 了 如 何 去 爱
After I’ve finally learned how to love
kě xī nǐ zǎo yǐ yuǎn qù
可 惜 你 早 已 远 去
What a pity you have long disappeared
xiāo shī zài rén hǎi
消 失 在 人 海
in the crowd
hòu lái zhōng yú zài yǎn lèi zhōng míng bái
后 来 终 于 在 眼 泪 中 明 白
After, in my tears I finally understand
yǒu xiē rén yī dàn cuò guò jiù bú zài
有 些 人 一 旦 错 过 就 不 再
Some people, you miss the chance and they’re gone
zài zhè xiàng sì de shēn yè lǐ
在 这 相 似 的 深 夜 里
We must hurt those we love deeply
nǐ shì fǒu yī yàng
你 是 否 一 样
on this similarly deep night
yě zài jìng jìng zhuī huǐ gǎn shāng
也 在 静 静 追 悔 感 伤
Do you also quietly wonder in remorse
rú guǒ dāng shí wǒ men néng
如 果 当 时 我 们 能
If we weren’t so stubborn
bú nà me juè qiáng
不 那 么 倔 强
back then
xiàn zài yě bú nà me yí hàn
现 在 也 不 那 么 遗 憾
Would we not have so much regret now
nǐ dōu rú hé huí yì wǒ
你 都 如 何 回 忆 我
How do you remember me
dài zhe xiào huò shì chén mò

There won’t be another man

爱 着 那 个 女 孩
to love this woman
