愛了很久的朋友 [Ài le hěn jiǔ de péng yǒu] [English translation]

Originally, when I thought of the future

I thought that I would be fine with whatever comes

But later on, I found that I could only

Imagine your future with her

I thought I was like a balloon

Chasing freedom on the wind

But in the future, I will only be able to feel nostalgic about

The pair of hands that let me go

It's laughable that when love ground us down

We could have repaired it with tears

It's a pity that scars have knotted in our hears

And we can only smile as we exchange greetings

It's good that in spite of the thousands of words we said to each other, neither of us were willing to

Say we were guilty

Because in the end,

Even the most painful breakup

Is for the sake of happiness.

I thought forever was far away,

So I wasn't willing to stop here

In the future there are so many possibilities

Why settle for less during our youth?

I thought I would change

Change into someone who understands love better

But in the end, I changed into

A friend who has loved you for a very long time

It's laughable that when love ground us down

We could have repaired it with tears

It's a pity that scars have knotted in our hears

And we can only smile as we exchange greetings

It's good that in spite of the thousands of mistakes we made in respect of each other, neither of us were willing to

Say we were guilty

Because in the end,

Even the most painful breakup

Is for the sake of happiness.

It's laughable that when love ground us down

We could have repaired it with tears

It's a pity that scars have knotted in our hears

And we can only smile as we exchange greetings

It's good that in spite of the thousands of mistakes we made in respect of each other, neither of us were willing to

Say we were guilty

Because in the end,

That's how we are able to have a

Friend who has loved us for a long time
