那些年 LYRICS with English Traslation :
又回到最初的起点
you hui dao zui chu de qi dian
Back to the starting point
记忆中你青涩的脸
ji yi zhong ni qing se de lian
In my memory, I see your young face
我们终于来到了这一天
wo men zhong yu lai dao le zhe yi tian
We have finally reached this day
桌垫下的老照片
zhuo dian xia de lao zhao pian
The old photographs under the table
无数回忆连结
wu shu hui yi lian jie
Linking to countless memories
今天男孩要赴女孩最后的约
jin tian nan hai yao fu nuu hai zui hou de yue
Today, a boy will keep his last date with the girl
*又回到最初的起点
you hui dao zui chu de qi dian
Back to the starting point
呆呆地站在镜子前
dai dai de zhan zai jing zi qian
Standing in front of the mirror dumbly
笨拙系上红色领带的结
ben zhuo ji shang hong se ling dai de jie
Clumsily tieing a knot on a red tie
将头发梳成大人模样
jiang tou fa shu cheng da ren mo yang
Combed hair to appear as an adult
穿上一身帅气西装
chuan shang yi shen shuai qi xi zhuang
Wearing a handsome suit
等会儿见你一定比想像美
deng hui er jian ni yi ding bi xiang xiang mei
When I see you in a while, it’ll be better looking than you expected
好想再回到那些年的时光
hao xiang zai hui dao na xie nian de shi guang
Wish that (we) could go back to those years
回到教室座位前后
hui dao jiao shi zuo wei qian hou
When we were sitting in the classroom, in front back position
故意讨你温柔的骂
gu yi tao ni wen rou de ma
(Doing something to get) purposely scolded from you gently
黑板上排列组合
hei ban shang pai lie zu he
Pairing arrangement written on the blackboard
你舍得解开吗
ni she de jie kai ma
Are you willing to let go/ separate it?
谁与谁坐他又爱著她
shei yu shei zuo ta you ai zhe ta
Whoever sits with whoever, he will love her
Chorus
那些年错过的大雨
na xie nian cuo guo de da yu
Those missed years of heavy rain
那些年错过的爱情
na xie nian cuo guo de ai qing
Those missed years of romance
好想拥抱你
hao xiang yong bao ni
I really want to hug you
拥抱错过的勇气
yong bao cuo guo de yong qi
Embrace the wasted /missed courage
曾经想征服全世界
ceng jing xiang zheng fu quan shi jie
Wanted to conquer the world before
到最后回首才发现
dao zui hou hui shou cai fa xian
But looking back in the end, I realized
这世界滴滴点点全部都是你
zhe shi jie di di dian dian quan bu dou shi ni
Every little thing in this world is all you
那些年错过的大雨
na xie nian cuo guo de da yu
Those missed out days of heavy rain
那些年错过的爱情

好想告诉你
hao xiang gao su ni
I really want to tell you
告诉你我没有忘记
gao su ni wo mei you wang ji
Tell you that I never forgot
那天晚上满天星星
na tian wan shang man tian xing xing
That night, when the sky was full of stars
平行时空下的约定
ping xing shi kong xia de yue ding
In parallel time and space, we made a promise
再一次相遇我会紧紧抱著你

If we meet again, I’ll hug you tightly
