Lyrics Translation of 不遇见

Track 4. Don't Meet 不遇见 
曲∕词:二牛


TN: Honestly, I was a bit taken aback by its lyrics. Listening to the song without paying close attention to its lyrics I took it to be a Christian song but guess not.  Seems like a very personal experience. Wonder if he wrote the song before or after he broke up with gf vv.  (Eta 10/02/2013) See below "comment box" on the song's inspiration. 



Track 4.  Don't Meet 不遇见
#Lost, this feeling a-floating
can't resolve; thoughts chaotic too
Sacrificed, perhaps 'tis called fate* (緣)
*Not destined (無份), harm done is not slight
Romantic love, also depends on encounters
Time, teaches mortals narcissism
Deception, put it down to survival
reluctant but inevitable

Been through the terrifying lightyear
Seen everything, that ripple of utmost temptations
Not until tired will one feel insignificant
Not meeting is the best adherence
Put away the exquisite pining
People, in the blink of an eye will grow up
Looking back at the past, perhaps with a smile #

Today, can only concede defeat
Would look at it as a very moving history
Don't want to but end result (I) still believe the lie
Waiting for the next time
If can let me go back to that year
Would rather not cross paths again.

Refrain #
*有緣無份 = have fate but not destined

**************************************
Track 4. 不遇见
#迷失 这感觉在飘
没法完 思想也很乱
牺牲 也许这叫缘
无份 遗害不浅
相恋 也要讲遭遇
时间 教俗人自恋
欺骗 就当是求个生存
不愿亦难免
走过 动魄的光年
看尽 最诱惑涟漪
等到倦了 才自觉渺小
不见 是最好坚持
收起 绝美的思念
人 一转眼就会长大了
回望过去或会一笑#

如今 只可以认输
就当如 最动人历史
不想 但结果仍信谎言
等待下一次
假使 让我再回到当年
情愿不遇见

#refrain

  1. Steven was talking about this song 不遇见 when interviewed with Maggie Young in CRHK. He said this song was his past experience (love story) when he was young.

    1. Thanks so much! Can't believe I missed that part of the interview. I was honestly disconcerted when I read the lyrics. Glad it was all in the past.
