1874
仍然沒有 遇到 那位跟我絕配的戀人
你根本也未有出現 還是已然逝去懷疑在某一個 國度裡的某一年
還未帶我到世上那天
存在過 一位等我愛的某人
夜夜為我失眠從來未相識 已不在
這個人極其實在 卻像個虛構角色
莫非今生 原定陪我來
卻去了 錯誤時代情人若寂寥地 出生在1874
剛剛早一百年 一個世紀
是否終身都這樣 頑強地等
雨季會 降臨赤地為何未及時地 出生在1874
邂逅你 看守你 一起老死
互不相識 相處在 同年代中
仍可 同生 共死從來未相識 已不在
這個人極其實在 卻像個虛構角色
莫非今生 原定陪我來
卻去了 錯誤時代情人若寂寥地 出生在1874
剛剛早一百年 一個世紀
是否終身都這樣 頑強地等
雨季會 降臨赤地為何未 及時地 出生在1874
邂逅你 看守你 一起老死
若果不可 相約在 和平地方
也與你 暢遊戰地為何未 及時地 出生在1874
挽著你的手臂 徹夜逃避
漫天烽火 失散在 同年代中
仍可 同生 共死
1874
Still have not chanced upon that one true lover of mine;
have you not yet appeared, or have you already passed?I suspect, in some realm, in some year
on some day before I was brought to this world,
there existed someone waiting for my love
sleepless for me every nightWe never got to know each other, and you were gone
This person truly exists, but is like a fictional character
Could they* be destined to come with me
but went to the wrong era?If my lover was born lonesomely in 1874
exactly 100 years early, a century
Then if they had stubbornly waited a whole life,
would the rainy season arrive at the barren land?Why was I not born on time in 1874
to stumble upon you, guard you, grow old with you?
If we had not met but had lived in the same age
we still could live and die togetherWe never got to know each other, and you were gone
This person truly exists, but is like a fictional character
Could they be destined to come with me
but went to the wrong era?If my lover was born lonesomely in 1874
exactly 100 years early, a century
Then if they had stubbornly waited a whole life,
would the rainy season befall the barren land?Why was I not born on time in 1874
to stumble upon you, guard you, grow old with you?
Even if we could not meet somewhere of peace
with you, we could journey the war-torn landsWhy was I not born on time in 1874
to hold your arm and escape all night?
If we were separated under the warring sky in the same age
we still could live and die together
