一路向北 [All the Way North] [Yī lù xiàng běi] [English translation]

The world in the rearview mirror, it's a goodbye moving further and further.

You start to turn backwards, but you're still beautiful from the side.

I chase you with my gaze, yet it is your tears that I hear.

Back and forth beside the car window, it was an opportunity I missed.

I was separated from the place you stood by a wall of tears.

The view of the street keeps retreating,

and outside the window, you collapse—fragments.

And I keep heading north, leaving those seasons with you behind.

You said you were too tired and couldn't love anyone anymore.

The wind howls along the mountain roads, and I'm always the one to blame in the images from the past.

Counting carefully, I'm ashamed...how many a times I've hurt you.

And I keep heading north, leaving those seasons with you behind.

Around that steering wheel, my regret runs in circles.

I try accelerating, but the sorrow follows closely—I can't get rid of it.

Counting carefully, I'm ashamed...how many a times I've hurt you.

Let's stop this wretchedness, let the mistakes stay mistakes.*
