Zhao Lei - 我记得 (wǒ jì dé) (English translation)

Chinese

Original lyrics

我记得

我带着比身体重的行李游入尼罗河底经过几道闪电看到一堆光圈不确定是不是这里

我看到几个人站在一起他们拿着剪刀摘走我的行李擦拭我的脑袋没有机会返回去

直到我听见一个声音我确定是你可你怎记得我

我带来了另界的消息可我怎么告知你注定失忆着相遇

我记得这里是片树林后面有个山坡山坡上的枣树每当秋天到来我们把枣装满口袋

我记得除了朋友我还做过你的叔父你总喜欢跟在我的屁股后面只是为了那几个铜钱

我记得我们曾是恋人后来战争爆发你上战场后就再也没有回来直到收不到你的信

我们总这样重复分离却要重新开始相互送别对方说着来世再见再次失忆着相聚

呜呜呜呜快来抱抱快来抱抱我

呜鸣呜呜快来抱抱快来抱抱我

在路上我遇到了一位故去多年的人她是如此年轻扎着过肩马尾露出和你一样的笑

她和我讲了很多关于你成长的故事在星空另一端思念从未停止如同墓碑上的名字

不要哭我最亲爱的人我最好的玩伴时空是个圆圈直行或是转弯我们最终都会相见

在城池的某个拐角处在夕阳西下时在万家灯火的某一扇窗纱里人们失忆着相聚

呜快来抱抱快来抱抱我呜哦呜哦呜哦

呜快来抱抱快来抱抱我我终于找到你

Translation

With luggages heavier than my body, I ventured beneath the Nile, passing a few flashes, I saw a cluster of halos – not sure if this was the place.

I saw a few people standing together, their hands holding scissors, taking away my luggage, gently wiping my head - I have no chance to go back.

Until I heard some sudden voices, I was sure it was you, but how do you remember me?

I brought news from another world outside, but how do I tell you – we destined to meet in forgetfulness.

I remember this was a grove, with a hill behind; whenever autumn comes, we would pick the fruits – our pockets can fill no more.

I remember I was not only your friend, but also your uncle; you were like a little doggie, always behind my back – just for those couple pennies.

I remember we used to be lovers, but then the war broke out; you went to battlefield, but never returned – until I couldn’t receive your letters.

We always repeated this separation, but had to begin again, bidding each other farewell, waiting for the next life – meeting again in oblivion.

Woo, come and hug me, come and hug me.

On the road I met someone that passed away many years ago, she looked so young, with a ponytail behind – her smile just looks like yours.

She told me many stories way back from your childhood; across the starry sky, longing never faded – like the name on the tombstone.

Don’t cry, my dearest darling, my very best playmate; time is a cycle, whether straight or turning – we are destined to meet again.

Inside some of the windows, during times of sunset, in corners of the city, with the seas of lights – people reunite in oblivion.

Woo, come and hug me, come and hug me, woo-oh-woo- oh-woo-oh.

Woo, come and hug me, come and hug me, I’ve finally found you.
