美错

本来相约他在海边山盟海誓
却找错地方来到一个游泳池
满眼湖水蓝得美丽
你我就从那里开始
蓝色的涟漪铺展一段回忆

你送我偶然从天而降的陨石
我一直误会那是颗完美钻石
不曾看见它的瑕疵
把它镶在我的戒指
我也没发现有什么损失

让我感情用事理智无补于事
至少我就这样开心过一阵子
不管他是真的你是假的谁是目的地
能自以为是也是个恩赐

不是来得太快就是来得太迟
美丽的错误往往最接近真实
尽管昏迷有时梦醒有时不坚持
人生最大的快乐也不过如是

所谓醉生梦死
大概就是这个意思

让我感情用事理智无补于事
至少我就这样开心过一阵子
不管他是真的你是假的谁是目的地
能自以为是也是个恩赐

不是来得太快就是来得太迟
美丽的错误往往最接近真实
尽管昏迷有时梦醒有时不坚持
人生最大的快乐也不过如是

所谓天意
就是这个意思

A Beautiful Mistake

I asked him to come along to the seaside to have our love sealed,
but I lost my way and found myself next to a swimming pool.
The lake beneath my eyes is beautiful in blue.
You and I started just from there,
our memories along the rippling blue.

You gave me a rock which accidentally fell down to the earth as a gift,
but I’ve always mistaken it for a perfect diamond.
I’ve never seen any defect in it
which I inlayed in my ring.
I’ve never thought that I have anything to lose.

chorus
Just let me indulge when rationality doesn’t help.
At least I was happy for a while.
No matter if he was sincere and I was fake or who targeted whom,
self-righteousness is nothing less than bliss.

It comes either too early or too late,
but a beautiful mistake is the closest to reality.
Although it makes one faint sometimes and then wake up again,
the greatest joy of life is nothing more than that.

That living is like being drunk and death is like a dream
I guess just means that.

chorus

The so-called heaven’s will I guess just means that.
