失憶蝴蝶 [sat1 jik1 wu4 dip6] [English translation]

No beginnings, and hence no endings; being hard to forget does not equal engraved forever

No sharing of secrets, and hence no understanding; why should all of it be worth caring?

Better let the words stop here; the meaning that has been left behind

Left us half a step short of a poem

No surprises, and hence no ordeals, and hence never worthy of deception

No lightning, and hence no missing, and hence never growing tired of each other

The face that hasn't fallen to ashes yet keeps morphing in the dreams

When we meet again, treat it as the first encounter

There has never been staying together, and hence no way to abandon

Didn't have to end up as a couple, so don't cause more trouble

Like at any time and leave at any time

Regretting like this is perhaps more perfect

No loving, and hence no attachment; there is nothing to complain about

No dreams, and hence no wishes; it is meaningless to look into forever

Butterflies have a short memory; whatever trespasses of the past

Are worthy of nothing but a laugh looking back, as if a lifetime has passed

There has never been staying together, and hence no way to abandon

Didn't have to end up as a couple, so don't cause more trouble

Like at any time and leave at any time

Regretting like this is perhaps more perfect

Just like a butterfly bonding with a flower, leaving no traces

After ten seconds of intimacy, it flies away with its companion

Finding joy when bored, and forgetting when occupied

Life is monotonous but we have played games

There has never been staying together, and hence no way to abandon

We haven't trespassed against each other, so don't cause more trouble

Like at any time and leave at any time

There is no need to remember, so how could one forget?
