An Unnatural Breath Lyrics English Translation by Bo Yuan
The songwriter mentions a silent diary, a place where memories and unspoken words are stored. One key line, ‘You taught me that fresh colors can be painted over the gray,’ shows the struggle to move forward. The words blend personal growth with the pain of holding onto the past.
Wo bu tai shan chang hui yi tai che diI’m not very good at remembering things too clearly.
Hui yi rang ren you yuMemories just make me hesitate.
You yu na shi ben zhuo de yu qiI hesitate over the clumsy tone I used back then,
Ni shuo dou mei guan xiwhen you said it didn’t matter.
Ceng bang wo ca shi shi jie de feng liYou once helped me smooth out the world’s sharp edges.
Xian zai du zi zheng liNow I’m sorting through it all alone.
Ni xie zai wo zui chen mo de ri jiYou wrote in my most silent diary,
Wo que ci bu da yibut my words just couldn’t convey what I meant.
Wo zhi dao ni xian zai you xin de xian huaI know you have new flowers now.
Wo yi jing ming bai hen duo shi ying gai fang xiaI’ve realized there are many things I should let go of.
Xie xie ni na shi de hui daThank you for the answer you gave back then,
Zui zhen shi de xiang faand for your most honest thoughts.
