i went someplace where some friends and i spent some days in the years that had gone by And one was there it seemed by chance yí gè ǒu rán de jī huì, wǒ hé péng yǒu yòng diào jǐ tiān de shí jiān qù wǎng yí gè mìng yùn zhī chù |
| [00:40-00:53] |
On the left side of the beach blowing on his hands While I sat on a right side rock |
|
dāng wǒ zuò zài yán shí biān shàng hǎi fēng qīn wěn zhe tā de shǒu |
| [00:59-01:03] |
Glancing over caught off guard and slightly shocked bù jīng yī piē dì zhuā zhù le tā, ràng wǒ zhèn jīng |
| [01:06-01:12] |
How could I have known that he would be there kě wǒ wèi hé dòng xī le tā de cún zài |
| [01:15-01:21] |
Fixing the water with an aimless look màn wú mù dì zhǎo xún bù céng wǔ dòng de hǎi shuǐ |
| [01:29-01:34] |
He didn' t see me that much was sure wǒ rú cǐ kěn dìng tā méi yǒu kàn jiàn wǒ |
| [01:38-01:43] |
But that didn' t help me feel any more right dàn zhè bìng méi yǒu bāng zhù wǒ xún dé yī sī ān wèi |
| [01:47-01:53] |
We' d been close it had been a long time ago hěn jiǔ yǐ qián wǒ men jìng rú cǐ jiē jìn |
| [01:57-02:02] |
But I had hardened myself and him I do not know dàn wǒ què bù zì zhī, zì jǐ yǐ jīng rú cǐ má mù |
| [02:06-02:10] |
He just stayed soft and never seemed to grow tā zhǐ shì rú cǐ wēn róu, sì hū cóng méi yǒu gǎi biàn |
| [02:15-02:21] |
Just for a moment zài nǎ yī shùn jiān |
| [02:25-02:28] |
Does it ever dawn upon thee tā shì fǒu yǒu guò lí míng |
| [02:31-02:33] |
To do things for me wèi wǒ fù chū yī qiè |
| [02:40-02:44] |
Swinging back from one chord to another yí gè hé xián dào lìng yí gè hé xián |
| [02:49-02:53] |
Try to focus I' d learned from my mother shì tú qù lǐ jiě wǒ de mǔ qīn |
| [02:58-03:03] |
Who' d also taught me to take care of others shuí hái jiào wǒ zhào gù bié rén |
| [03:06-03:12] |
When I could if I could like if they were my brothers rú guǒ wǒ néng bǎ tā men dàng chéng shì wǒ de xiōng dì |
| [03:16-03:21] |
But I never found it much in me to care dàn wǒ cóng wèi qù tàn xún gèng duō wǒ guān xīn de dōng xī |
| [03:25-03:30] |
If god give someone their absolute share rú guǒ shàng dì gěi le tā men jué duì de píng děng |
| [03:35-03:48] |
Of the good that they deserve if they choose not to |
|
Recognize value in the things that they do rú guǒ tā men xuǎn zé bù qù rèn qīng suǒ zuò shì de jià zhí, měi hǎo jiāng zhí de tā men yōng yǒu |
| [03:57-04:02] |
I' ve seen people crumble and fall by the way wǒ kàn dào rén men bēng kuì hé dǎo tā de fāng shì |
| [04:06-04:11] |
And humble themselves like it' s their due to pay bēi wēi de zì jǐ, jiù xiàng shì tā men yīng de de bào chóu |
| [04:15-04:20] |
But I ask myself why not act harshly dàn wǒ wèn zì jǐ wèi shí me bù yán lì |
| [04:24-04:29] |
Why keep awful thoughts and feelings inside of thee wèi shí me zài nǐ de nèi xīn lǐ liú zhe kě pà de xiǎng fǎ hé gǎn jué |
| [04:34-04:38] |
Why not mete them out ever so generously wèi shí me bù kāng kǎi de jǐ yǔ tā men |
| [04:44-04:50] |
Just for a moment zài nǎ yī shùn jiān |
| [04:54-04:57] |
Has it ever dawned upon you nǐ yǒu méi yǒu yì shí dào nǐ |
| [04:59-05:03] |
zuò wǒ suǒ zuò de shì qíng |
| [05:04-05:18] |
And sabotage your rightful due pò huài nǐ yōng yǒu de |
