可惜不是你 (Unfortunately, It's Not You) _Cover by Dou Dou
A beautiful Chinese song by Fish Leong (梁静茹) that conveys this powerful emotion that we all have felt at some point in our lives, a sense of bittersweetness towards people that we once loved but could not stay with us till the end. But after all, the memories of them would still warm our hearts. Both Chinese and English translated lyrics are posted below. Enjoy!
這一刻 突然覺得好熟悉
This moment suddenly feels so familiar
像昨天 今天同時在放映
Like I can see yesterday and today both in my mind
我這句語氣 原來好像你
I say these words the way you did
不就是我們愛過的證據
And isn't this the evidence that we were once in love?
差一點 騙了自己騙了你
I almost lied to myself and to you
愛與被愛不一定成正比
And love is not always fair
我知道被疼是一種運氣
I know that I’m lucky to be the one you cared for
但我無法完全交出自己
But still I couldn't give all of myself to you
努力為你改變 卻變不了 預留的伏線
I tried to change for you, but couldn't stop the ending.
以為在你身邊 那也算永遠
I thought that just being with you meant forever after.
彷彿還是昨天 可是昨天 已非常遙遠
Now it feels like yesterday, but yesterday has already slipped away.
但閉上我雙眼 我還看得見
But I can still see us when I close my eyes
可惜不是你 陪我到最後
Unfortunately, it's not you who will be with me at the end.
曾一起走卻走失那路口
We've walked together, but missed our turn
感謝那是你 牽過我的手
Yet I'm thankful that you were the one who has held my hands
還能感受那溫柔
Even till today I can still feel your warmth
那一段 我們曾心貼著心
Back then our hearts were so close together
我想我更有權力關心你
I’d like to believe that I have more of a right to care about you now
可能你 已走進別人風景
Perhaps you've already walked into someone else's story
多希望 也有 星光的投影
I hope you have the blessing of the starlight.
努力為你改變 卻變不了 預留的伏線
I tried to change for you, but couldn't stop the ending.
以為在你身邊 那也算永遠
I thought that just being with you meant forever after.
彷彿還是昨天 可是昨天 已非常遙遠
Now it feels like yesterday, but yesterday has already slipped away.
但閉上我雙眼 我還看得見
But I can still see us when I close my eyes
可惜不是你 陪我到最後
Unfortunately, it's not you who will be with me at the end.
曾一起走卻走失那路口
We've walked together, but missed our turn
感謝那是你 牽過我的手
Yet I'm thankful that you were the one who has held my hands
還能溫暖我胸口
Those memories still warm my heart
