Lyrics and translation 劉若英 - 後來

後來

後來 我總算學會了 如何去愛
可惜你早已遠去 消失在人海
後來 終於在眼淚中明白
有些人 一旦錯過就不再
梔子花 白花瓣
落在我藍色百褶裙上
愛你 你輕聲說
我低下頭 聞見一陣芬芳
那個永恆的夜晚 十七歲仲夏
你吻我的那個夜晚
讓我往後的時光 每當有感嘆
總想起 當天的星光
那時候 的愛情
為什麼 就能那樣簡單
而又是為什麼 人年少時
一定要讓 深愛的人受傷
在這相似的深夜裡 你是否一樣
也在靜靜 追悔感傷
如果當時我們能 不那麼倔強
現在也 不那麼遺憾
你都如何回憶我 帶著笑或是很沉默
這些年來 有沒有人能讓你不寂寞
後來 我總算學會了 如何去愛
可惜你早已遠去 消失在人海
後來 終於在眼淚中明白
有些人 一旦錯過就不再
你都如何回憶我 帶著笑或是很沉默
這些年來 有沒有人能讓你不寂寞
後來 我總算學會了 如何去愛
可惜你早已遠去 消失在人海
後來 終於在眼淚中明白
有些人 一旦錯過就不再
後來 我總算學會了如何去愛
可惜你早已遠去 消失在人海
後來 終於在眼淚中明白
有些人 一旦錯過就不再
永遠不會 再重來
有一個男孩 愛著那個女孩

Later

Later I finally learned how to love
Regrettably, you had long since gone, vanished into the crowd
Later, at last, in tears I understood
Some people, once missed, are gone forever
Gardenia, pale petals
Fell upon my blue pleated skirt
I love you, you softly said
I lowered my head and inhaled a burst of fragrance
That eternal night, midsummer of my seventeenth year
The night you kissed me
Makes me, every time I sigh in later years
Recall the starlight of that day
The affection of that time
Why could it be so simple?
And again, why, when one is young
Must one hurt the people one loves deeply?
In those similar late nights, are you the same,
Also quietly pursuing regret and melancholy?
If at that time we had not been so stubborn,
Now we would not have such regrets.
How do you recall me? With a smile or in silence?
During the years, has anyone been there, banishing your loneliness?
Later I finally learned how to love
Regrettably, you had long since gone, vanished into the crowd
Later, at last, in tears I understood
Some people, once missed, are gone forever
How do you recall me? With a smile or in silence?
During the years, has anyone been there, banishing your loneliness?
Later I finally learned how to love
Regrettably, you had long since gone, vanished into the crowd
Later, at last, in tears I understood
Some people, once missed, are gone forever
Later, I finally learned how to love
Sadly, you are long gone, missing in the sea of people
Later, I finally understood while in tears
Some people, once missed, are gone forever
It will never come again
There was a boy who loved that girl
