DISCLAIMER: I don't claim to have the official translation of the lyrics, these are purely fanmade and can be inaccurate. I'd recommend checking out more information about the musical and translations to other songs through @sgdlr-asdfghjkl's blog!
KEY: Cheng Xiaoshi, Lu Guang, both, translator notes
无论过去 - Don't dwell on the past
不问将来 - Don't ask about the future
(this is a more direct translation of “past and future, let them be”)
逆着光奔向梦境的中央 - Running against the light towards the heart/center of the dream
这一次是最终章 - This will be the final chapter
不让他的梦遗憾收场 - Don’t let his (Chen Xiao's) dreams end in regret
从前不敢回首奋力奔跑 - I used to run away without looking back
以为就能越过那些痛苦的过往 - Thinking I could get away from those painful memories
此刻反向奔跑击碎阻挡 - Now I run in the opposite direction, smashing through the obstacles
我收起感伤挥手告别 - I waved my sorrows goodbye
让心结释放 - And let go of the burdens within my heart
你的谎言不能兑现 - Your lies will come back to haunt you
他的笑颜留在今天 - His smile remains to this day
故事重演改写执念 - The story repeats itself, becoming an obsession
逆转时间成全心愿 - We rewind time to fulfill these wishes
DIALOGUE TRANSLATION: (there's no official transcription for these. I also can't tell which characters are which lmao I tried my best)
"Hey, captain, guess what? They're keeping the basketball courts!"
"Really?"
"Really! The principal said we’re keeping the courts, so as long as we keep working hard, we’ll keep winning for sure!"
“Awesome! Hey, let's promise, next time we compete, we’ll play in the city!”
"Would the school really--"
"They will! The school will fix our basketball courts, fix our floors, and add better lights!"
"You've really said what's already on my mind. This all feels like a dream!"
"We're counting on you, captain!"
请原谅我编织的梦境 - Please forgive me, (CXS) for the dream that i have fabricated
不愿看你黯淡的眼睛 - I don’t want to have to look into your lifeless eyes
你的期许是坠落流星 - Your hopes are but falling stars
短暂绚烂无比 - Short-lived, but brilliant
DIALOGUE TRANSLATION:
Chen Xiao (CXS): Liu Meng, I…I really like you! Ever since I found out you were planning to move to the city, I’ve been too afraid to say how I felt. But now I want to make a promise with you. You study hard in the city, I’ll work hard in the countryside too. I’ll make sure we get into the same university!
Liu Meng: Pinky promise? You’d better not go back on your word!
Chen Xiao (CXS): I won’t! Then, let’s pinky promise. Promise you won't forget me?
Chen Xiao (CXS): I, Chen Xiao, swear I will never forget you.
Liu Hongbin: That’s enough guys, it’s not like you’ll be separated forever. How about staying over for dinner tonight?
Chen Xiao (CXS): That’s alright! My ma’s still waiting for me at home. I’ll stay next time! …next time, for sure.
[BEAT DROP]
一年一年反复排练 - Year after year, rehearsing again and again
一滴一点青涩往昔 - Little by little, the bittersweet past
一字一句迟来心意 - Every word, every conversation, every belated confession
逆转时间终有回应 - By reversing time, i will eventually find the answers
命运的轨迹离散是主题 - The goal of fate is to tear us apart
(likely about Chen Xiao's separation from his family and friends, but it probably applies to Shiguang too.)
生命是崎岖的旅行 - The journey of life is a treacherous road
没有捷径可逃离 - There is no easy way out
人生的轨迹，再次返回这里 - The trajectory of life leads us here again
为你按下暂停 - For you, I will press pause
逆转时光找到你 - Reversing time in order to find you
谎言包裹真心 - Using lies to cover up the truth
不让遗憾延续 - Don’t let yourself have any more regrets
逆转时光也为你 - For you, I will rewind time
是完成使命也拯救自己 - To finish the mission as well as to save yourself
尊重宿命的轨迹 / 学会放下遗憾别沉溺过去 - Respecting the trajectory of fate / Learning to let go of your past regrets
抚平难遗忘的回忆 - Healing those unforgettable memories
命运的轨迹 / 在过去 - The trajectory of fate / Left in the past
擦不去 - The memories can’t be erased
承诺的践行 / 在未来 - The fulfillment of our mission / Is in the future
笑着释怀逆转时光的意义 - We rewind time and let go of our past regrets with a smile
when I say my jaw DROPPED when I read these lyrics...GOD Lu Guang's lyrics break my heart :'))))
