街角的祝福 [jiē jiǎo de zhù fú] [English translation]

After a number of autumns, and a number of winters

I’m almost totally well

But still all it takes is a repeated conversation

To bring me back to melancholy

It did go through my mind

Should we meet again, what should we do

I guess I will still be standing at a corner of the street

Hidden from your view

Simply because I have no wish to intrude

Simply because I fear you have no explanation

Simply because at this present moment I can see it in your eyes

She surpassed me in importance

Hence I can only pretend I hadn’t witness this scene

I hadn’t seen how you were hugging at the other side of this street

I can feel your happiness from here

This mode of reunion is better for either of us

Hence I could only pretend I couldn’t hear

I couldn’t hear what the others are commenting on her

I don’t wish to ask, and I don’t wish to be notified

Since I have no more rights over your life

If I don’t wish to ask, and I don’t wish to be notified

I’ll leave my blessings, at this corner of the street
