Unsent (feat. 陳華) Lyrics English Translation by Patrick Brasca
The singers tell of typing and deleting messages near a lover’s door. Lyrics mention forgotten San Francisco trips and Christmas without held hands. Chen Hua writes about carrying love’s weight alone through sleepless nights.
Wo Zhan Zai Ni Jia Men KouI’m standing here right outside your door,
Chen Mo De Xin Zai Shi KongMy silent heart’s spinning out of control,
Lian Yi Ju Dou Shuo Bu Chu KouI can’t even find a single word to say.
Ai Yuan Lai Ru Ci Cui RuoTurns out that love’s such a fragile thing,
Diao Ru Shen Hai De XinMy heart’s sinking into the deep, dark sea,
Wo Que Bu Xiang Bei Shei Wan JiuBut I don’t want anyone to come and save me.
Dui Ji De Hui Yi Fan Huang De Xun XiPiled-up memories and yellowed messages,
Hao Duo Bu Rong Yi Shi Qu De Tai Qing YiSo many hard-won moments lost far too easily,
Hai Zai Cuo Shou Bu JiI’m still caught completely off guard.
Zai Mei Ge Ye Li Wo Shi Zhe Chou LiEvery night, I try to pull myself away,
Que You Bu Duan De Cong Shui Meng Li Jing XingBut I keep waking up from my dreams,
Gai Zen Mo Bu Xiang QiHow am I supposed to stop thinking of you?
Ni Mei Deng Wo Qu De Jiu Jin ShanYou didn’t wait for me to go to San Francisco,
Ni Mei Pei Wo Qian Shou De Sheng DanYou didn’t hold my hand through Christmas,
Er Wo Que Ba Ni Sui Kou De HuaBut I took those casual words you said,
Yi Ren Cheng DanAnd I’m carrying the weight all on my own.
Wo Bei Dong De Jie Shou Shi Luo GanI’m passively accepting this sense of loss,
Na Yi Ju Mei Shuo Chu De Wan AnThat goodnight we never got to say,
Wo Hai Zai Dui Hua Kuang Li Da Le You ShanI’m still typing and deleting in the chatbox,
Suan Bu Suan Nan KanDon’t I look pathetic?
Shou Shang Wo Zhe Ni Jia Yao ShiGripping your house key tight in my hand,
Men Kou Zuo Le Ji Ge Xiao ShiSitting outside your door for hours,
Hai Shi Mei You Ban Fa Tiao ShiI still can’t find a way to adjust,
Dui Ni Mo Ming De Na Zhong Pian ZhiTo this inexplicable obsession with you.
Hai Ji De Wo Men De Ji Nian RiI still remember our anniversaries,
Ji De Ni Gu ZhiI remember how stubborn you were,
Hai Ji De Ni Bu Ai Dan Bei ZiI remember you didn’t like using just one blanket,
Hai Ji De Ni Tiao ShiI remember how picky you were with food.
Cong Kai Tou Jiu Zhi Dao Bu He ShiI knew from the start we weren’t a match,
Hai Shi Zou Guo Wu Ge Si JiBut we still made it through five seasons,
Ceng Jing Ai De Bu Ke Si YiWe once loved each other so incredibly,
Xian Zai Que Dou Bu He Shi YiBut now everything feels out of place.
Yi Hou Ni Lai Dian De Ling ShengFrom now on, the sound of your ringtone,
Bu Hui Zai Xiang QiWon’t ever ring out again,
Hou Lai Yu Jian Le Xin De RenLater, when I met someone new,
Quan Dou Rang Wo Xiang Qi NiThey all just made me think of you.

Wei Shen Mo Ni Mei You She Bu DeWhy weren’t you reluctant to let go?
Shi Bu Shi Wo Mei You Zi GeIs it because I don’t deserve,
Qu Yong You Zhe Ping Fan Zhong De Kuai LeTo have this ordinary kind of happiness?
Wo Guo De Hao Bu Hao Bu Xiao DeI don’t even know if I’m doing okay,
Zai Mei Ge Ye Li Wo Zhan Zhuan Fan CeI’m tossing and turning every single night,
