focaccina

I recently heard this song on the radio and couldn't get it out of my head. So I thought it'd be a good translation exercise as the lyrics are really simple.
It really vibes with me, as a person who actually lives in a seaside city. (I've always liked melancholic songs more than happy ones)


To the beach by Leon Zheng
去海边 (郑兴)

On the road to the airport we were silent
往机场的公路上 我们都沉默不语
Some wounds are too well hidden
有些伤心 藏得太隐密
Waiting for memories to light feels like being able to see dawn through a dark night
等待把回忆点亮 好像能看见黎明 在深夜里
Stars that shine too bright are unsuited to listening
太耀眼的星星 不适合聆听
Sunlight sprays through the car window, casting out your silhouette
阳光洒在车窗上 投射出你的剪影
Some farewells are said too carefully
有些再见 说得太小心
Sometimes I envy those romances that end with a turn of goodbye
有时候我也羡慕 一转身就离开的 那种爱情
People are just too greedy, unable to learn to give up
人总是太贪心 学不会放弃
I want to move to a city with a beach and write to you
我要搬去看得到海的城市 给你写信
How romantic would that be
以为那是多么浪漫的事情
Missing someone becomes addictive so I'll try not to mention it
思念他会让人上瘾 我尽量不提及
You don't need to be stingy with your news
你不必吝啬 你的消息
Go to the beach, it's quiet there (I'll return your star to you)
去海边 那里很安静（把星星还给你）
I want to move to a city with a beach and listen to you play piano
我要搬去看得到海的房间 听你弹琴
And invent a game with no win or lose
发明一种没有输赢的游戏
I want to stand on top of the grey asphalt
我要站在灰色的马路上面
listen to you speak and play games with you
听你说话 和你游戏
other than the beach we won't go anywhere else
除了海边 哪也不去
