“Love Story wa Totsuzen ni,” or literally “Sudden Love Story” (ラブ・ストーリーは突然に) was the theme song for the popular Fuji TV drama Tokyo Love Story.
Silence Wang’s 2020 cover of the song is by far my favorite version.
词：小田和正&崔轼玄
Lyricists: Kazumasa Oda & Cui Shixuan
曲：小田和正
Composer: Kazumasa Oda
当时间就像落叶枯萎散落风里
When time is like fallen leaves withering and scattered in the wind
很多话藏在心底不知该从何说起
Many words are hidden at the bottom of my heart; I don’t know where to start
最美的记忆 都是关于你
All my beautiful memories are about you
你近在咫尺 却遥不可及
You are close at hand but out of reach
因为你太过美丽 全世界都沉寂
Because you are so beautiful, the whole world falls silent
我变得小心翼翼 不敢表白我心迹
I became cautious and timid, not daring to profess my feelings
多想告诉你
How I want to tell you-
在这场大雨停息之前 告诉你
tell you before this heavy rain stops:
某一天某一秒在喧嚣的街角
On a certain day, at a certain second, in the bustling street corner
如果我从不曾 和你相逢
If I had never met you
汹涌人群中 陌生的观众
in the moving crowds, with strangers as witnesses
我们就像风一样 匆匆
We’d be like the wind, [missing each other]. in haste
从今后无论谁说什么花言巧语
From now on, no matter who sweet talks you
你都不要相信别轻易被蒙蔽
Please don’t believe them, don’t be deceived easily
全世界只有我 对你最珍惜
In the whole world, nobody cherishes you more than I do
不想骗自己 再苦苦压抑
I don’t want to lie to myself or struggle to repress [my feelings]
从昨天到今天 从明天到永远
From yesterday to today, from tomorrow to forever
我对你的喜欢 每一天多一点
My love for you, will increase day by day
想陪在你身边
Wanna stay by your side
想生出翅膀陪你飞 比翼并肩
Wanna grow wings to fly with you – [we’ll] fly side by side
某一天某一秒在喧嚣的街角
On a certain day, at a certain second, in the bustling street corner
如果我听不到 你的心跳
If I didn’t hear your heartbeat
以后会不会 再紧紧拥抱
Would we never hold each other close ever again?
或者 再继续寻找
Or, would I keep searching?
这一天这一秒在命运的转角
On this day, at this second, at a turning point of destiny
落入爱的漩涡 无处可逃
falling into the whirlpool of love-there’s nowhere to escape
突然爱上你 没任何征兆
I suddenly fell in love with you, without receiving any signs prior
你是 无价的珍宝
You are a priceless treasure
沉默 什么都不用说 依偎着我
Silent, no words needed. Lean against me
全世界 安静了 只剩下你和我
The whole world quiets down. There’s only you and me left.
在我 心底的角落 有一团火
In a corner at the bottom of my heart, there’s a flame
那是我 爱的炽热 只为你执着
That’s me loving passionately, persisting for you only
某一天某一秒在喧嚣的街角
On a certain day, at a certain second, in the bustling street corner
如果我听不到 你的心跳
If I didn’t hear your heartbeat
以后会不会 再紧紧拥抱
Would we never hold each other close ever again?
或者 再继续寻找
Or, would I keep searching?
这一天这一秒在命运的转角
On this day, at this second, at a turning point of destiny
落入爱的漩涡 无处可逃
falling into the whirlpool of love-there’s nowhere to escape
突然爱上你 没任何征兆
I suddenly fell in love with you, without receiving any signs prior
你是 无价的珍宝
You are a priceless treasure
某一天某一秒在喧嚣的街角
On a certain day, at a certain second, in the bustling street corner
如果你如果我 听不到彼此心跳
If you or if I, no longer heard each other’s heartbeat
生命多无聊
How boring would life be
只有 再继续寻找
We could only keep searching
这一天这一秒在命运的转角
On this day, at this second, at a turning point of destiny
落入爱的漩涡 无处可逃
falling into the whirlpool of love-there’s nowhere to escape
突然爱上你 没任何征兆
I suddenly fell in love with you, without receiving any signs prior
你是 无价的珍宝
You are a priceless treasure
