夢醒時分 [Mèng xǐng shí fēn] [English translation]

You say that you loved someone whom you shouldn't have,

Your heart is filled with scars

You say that you made a mistake that you shouldn't have,

Your heart is filled with remorse.

You say you've experienced all of life's sufferings,

You cannot find someone whom you can trust,

You say you feel extremely frustrated,

You even began to doubt life.

You already knew that sorrow was inevitable,

So why bother to be so passionately fond of someone else?

Because love is always so devoted,

Why care about that little bet of gentleness?

You should know that sorrow is always inevitable,

In every awakening from a dream,

There are some things you don't have to ask right now,

There are some people you never have to wait for.
