English Translation
One Persistent Thought
Hu Ge and Alan Dawa Dolma
In the blink of an eye, one persistent thought
Is fated to disappear like moths flying into a flame
Knew it was trouble, why am I still at a loss
Best not to meet, best not to miss you
only this way I will not fall for you
another step and I brush past you
and step by step I fall for you
It is the fault of time
that we could only miss each other
I miss you so much, you are so far away
If I knew earlier that it would be bitter
I would still not want to escape this moment in time
“What a pity” these words hurt my eyes
two worlds later…
It is the fault of time
that we could only miss each other
I miss you so much, you are so far away
If I knew earlier that destiny was a wrong that I could not avoid
stay in this moment of time
Love is deep, fate is shallow
