| One look, several falls I step onto the borders of silence Under my feet, the snowy high grounds Travelling through all wilderness Dreaminess, fantastic love *It doesn't matter how far my wish is Accompanying times, searching for the next page Walking out of the circle you drew Even the decadent world is gorgeous Frivolous times, without limits Yet to see, the brilliant moonlit sky That night, the height of beauty The eyes of the ground bring a sense of deja vu Looking back to that look, in that year Repeat * Chinese:- Spoiler:
回望
那一眼 几个秋天 我踏上 寂静边界 脚下盘旋 雪域高原 游尽狂野 迷离幻恋
*渴望再遥远 都无谓 陪衬岁月 追寻下一页 走出你画的圈 颓废的世界 也唯美 轻狂年月 没有界限
未谋面 璀璨天月 那一夜 美的极限 土地的眼 似曾相见 回望那年的那一眼
Repeat * Pinyin:- Spoiler:
nà yì yǎn jǐ gè qiū tiān wǒ tà shàng jì mò biān jiè jiǎo xià pán xuán xuě yù gāo yuán yóu jìn kuáng yě mí lí huàn liàn
*kě wàng zài yáo yuǎn dōu wú wèi péi chèn suì yuè zhuī xún xià yi yè zǒu chū nǐ huà de quān tuí fèi de shì jiè yě wéi měi qīng kuáng suì yuè méi yǒu jiè xiàn
wèi móu miàn cuǐ càn tiān yuè nà yi yè měi de jí xiàn tǔ dì de yǎn sì céng xiāng jiàn huí wàng nà nián de nà yà yǎn
Repeat *

| Thank you very much! While waiting for you to reply on Weibo, I got bored and also translated it But it's interesting to see the different takes we kinda have on it~! How many autumns has passed before my eyes I step onto the silent borders of loneliness The world spins beneath my feet, the snowy highlands Traveling through the wilderness, blurring that fantasy longing *It does not matter how far away my desire is Accompanying the times, searching for the next page Walk out of the circle you've drawn A decadent world is still beautiful The frivilous years have no limits Yet to see the brilliant moonlit-skies That night, the limits of beauty The earth saw and remembered Looking back to that year, to that view * Repeat |

| I think our understanding is pretty much the same. I wanted to retain the poetic feel of the lyrics (yup that's totally what I was trying to do ) but using complete sentences definitely make it easier to understand the meaning |

| @3000: I try to use more pronouns cause...it's so confusing! Like are you walking out of the circle you've drawn?! or you're walking out of one someone else drew for you? xD Ah circles! |

| I read it as (maybe 3000 saw it as the same as me), but as drawing an imaginary circle. One where you're bound to it, so your view of the world is only that of the circle. She is telling herself to walk out because the world is so much more than that. |

| Good job both of you, but isn't translating alan's lyrics like really really hard ? XD That's like translating Chinese poetry, I mean I've worked hard on Chinese but while listening to the song I was still pretty lost with the sense lol Oh well the music was so good though |

| @eskwen pommy's explanation is what I think too, and I guess both of us felt that the metaphor of the circle is quite evident here, so we both left it as it is. |

| Updated my translation since the official lyrics is a word off! I bolded what I changed
How many autumns has passed before my eyes I step onto the silent borders of loneliness The world spins beneath my feet, the snowy highlands Traveling through the wilderness, blurring that fantasy longing
*No matter how far away my desires are, I'm fearless Accompanying the times, searching for the next page Walk out of the circle you've drawn A decadent world is still beautiful The frivolous years have no limits
Yet to see the brilliant moonlit-skies That night, the limits of beauty The earth saw and remembered Looking back to that year, to that view
* Repeat |

| I love seeing the differences in translation... The poetic take on the first, and how pommy's lyrics almost sound like a diary entry/letter. You're both so talented ;A; |
