Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “The Tides of Time”
wǒ yù yǎn guò qiān cì bǎi cì de zhòng féng
我 预 演 过 千 次 百 次 的 重 逢
I’ve envisioned a hundred thousand meetings
nǐ què shǐ zhōng zhàn zài mèng lǐ nán chù pèng
你 却 始 终 站 在 梦 里 难 触 碰
Yet in all of my dreams, you’re always standing beyond reach
tài nán huí tóu zhī néng yī zhí zǒu bú tíng
太 难 回 头 只 能 一 直 走 不 停
It’s too late to turn back now, I can only keep going
céng jīng liǎng gè rén liú shī rén hǎi zhī zhōng
曾 经 两 个 人 流 失 人 海 之 中
We were once two people lost in the sea of humanity
míng míng bú gān xīn míng míng hái zài děng
明 明 不 甘 心 明 明 还 在 等
I’ve clearly not given up, I’m clearly still waiting
què piān yào jiǎ zhuāng zǎo jiù bú tòng
却 偏 要 假 装 早 就 不 痛
Still I pretend the pain is long gone
míng míng shē wàng zhe nǐ yě zài cì xīn dòng
明 明 奢 望 着 你 也 再 次 心 动
I’m clearly praying I can move your heart again
yuè měi hǎo qī dài yuè róng yì luò kōng
越 美 好 期 待 越 容 易 落 空
The nobler the wait, the heavier the fall
chéng rèn wǒ bú pèi fǎn dǎo gèng qīng sōng
承 认 我 不 配 反 倒 更 轻 松
It’s easier to just admit I don’t deserve you
yǒu xiē ài yǔ dù zhī yǒu zì jǐ cái dǒng
有 些 爱 与 妒 只 有 自 己 才 懂
Such love and jealousy, no one else could understand
shí guāng hóng liú zhōng zhè fèn ài duō miǎo xiǎo
时 光 洪 流 中 这 份 爱 多 渺 小
This love is but a speck within the tides of time
yī fàng shǒu jiù xiāo sàn diào
一 放 手 就 消 散 掉
Swept away the moment you let go
wǒ yě xiǎng sǎ tuō yī xiào
我 也 想 洒 脱 一 笑
I wish I could laugh it off too
shuō yī shēng nà me zhǎng
说 一 生 那 么 长
And say that there’s more to life
ài yǔ nǐ dōu bú zhòng yào
爱 与 你 都 不 重 要
That love is not important, and neither are you
yě xǔ hái huì yù dào lìng yī gè rén
也 许 还 会 遇 到 另 一 个 人
That I might well meet another person
xǔ xià xiàng sì de nuò yán
许 下 相 似 的 诺 言
With whom to make these promises
wǒ zhī dào wǒ nán yǐ zuò dào
我 知 道 我 难 以 做 到
But I know it’s hard for me to do
míng míng bú gān xīn míng míng hái zài děng
明 明 不 甘 心 明 明 还 在 等
I’ve clearly not given up, I’m clearly still waiting
què piān yào jiǎ zhuāng zǎo jiù bú tòng
却 偏 要 假 装 早 就 不 痛
Still I pretend the pain is long gone
míng míng shē wàng zhe nǐ yě zài cì xīn dòng

yī fàng shǒu jiù xiāo sàn diào
一 放 手 就 消 散 掉
Swept away the moment you let go
nǐ de xīn piāo xiàng yuǎn fāng
你 的 心 飘 向 远 方
Your heart has drifted far away
wǒ liú bú zhù yě hǎo
我 留 不 住 也 好
It’s just as well I couldn’t hold you back
suān yǔ kǔ bǐ hèn yào hǎo
酸 与 苦 比 恨 要 好
Bitter regret is still better than hate
suǒ yǒu de zī wèi dōu zài yè lǐ pǐn cháng
所 有 的 滋 味 都 在 夜 里 品 尝
I’ve tasted them all during the night
tiān liàng jiù jì xù wēi xiào
天 亮 就 继 续 微 笑
And at dawn I carry on smiling
wǒ zhī dào wǒ kě yǐ zuò dào
我 知 道 我 可 以 做 到
I know it’s possible for me to do
wǒ zhī dào wǒ nán yǐ zuò dào
我 知 道 我 难 以 做 到
But I know it’s hard for me to do
