Goodbye Yesterday
Artist: Jeff Zhang

měigé yī fēnzhōng jiù yǒu yī bānjī qǐfēi
每隔一分钟就有一班机起飞
At intervals of every minute, there’s a plane departing

每段关系总离不开来回
Every relationships can never escape the back and forth
(来回 = literally round trip)
yī duàn qíng, yī ge rén bùduàn gěi
一段情 一个人不断给
A stage of love, (if it’s only) a person devoting it ceaselessly
zěnme nénggòu tíngzhǐ yè de hēi
怎么能够停止夜的黑
How could it possibly stop the dark colour of the night?
huáiniàn guòqù měihǎo rìzi huànlái tǐhuì
怀念过去美好日子换来体会
Reminiscing the past, trading it to experience the beautiful (future) days
chóngxīn dédào kuàilè què xūyào zhìhuì
重新得到快乐却需要智慧
Re-gaining happiness, one should just have a wisdom
gàosu wǒ, shénme jiào wúsuǒwèi
告诉我 什么叫无所谓
Tell me, what’s so called being indifferent
huàn yī ge zuòwèi, huàn yī bēi kāfēi
换一个座位 换一杯咖啡
(By) changing a seat, changing a cup of coffee
jiù huì wàngle shéi
就会忘了谁
Who can you forget ?
-----REFF-----
zài yī ge shìhé wǒ de zhěntou liú wán wǒ de lèi
在一个适合我的枕头流完我的泪
At one fittest (moment when) my pillow is no longer flowing my tears

Finding for a most beautiful place, to forget your beauty

请别用你我最熟悉的语言说再会
Please don’t use the sentences you and I are both most familiar with, to say till we me meet again
Goodbye yesterday
