听歌学英语：往事不重提 Talk

I can remember the good old days,
when you and me, we used to hide away.
Where the stars were shining or the sun was burning our eyes.
还记得那些美好的旧时光
那时我们常常远离喧嚣，
逍遥在一个繁星闪烁阳光耀眼的地方。

with promises that could never last.
But I still find a piece of you in the back of my mind.
你将我的杯子斟满
昙花一现的诺言。

And all the things that we once said,
are not in my heart, they’re in my head.
That was the time to say goodbye.
Let’s put it to rest, yeah let it die.

不在我心间，而在我的脑海回响。
是道别的时候，
结束吧，让它消亡吧

That was then and this is now.

但，现在感觉已经走了样也许，

to the place that we’ve been hanging around.

But trying to keep my head down.
