This is as far as we go.
As [we] walked, [we] came to feel tired.
Crying, laughing, loving [one another] along the way—
At the very end of the very end, please please please,
Don't say anything. Please kiss me.

As ardently as in the beginning, take[1] me directly.
Pretend as if there had never been any pain or deception,
[That] the smiles can [last] a long time, [that] the words [we] speak are not things [we] need to think about [before we say them].
Once upon a time, we had also been happy.

In an eager hurry to grasp a gust of wind, wanting to say something to the shooting stars.
Wanting to prove that loosening one's grip slightly doesn't mean [the moment] will quickly disappear[2].
Trying to be impossible to chase away, to remain unmoved no matter how much it hurts.
Wanting to challenge [the limit of] "forever", [we're] definitely capable of "forever".

We're both right and both wrong, neither wanting to err.
[Our] left hand caresses the pain, [our] right hand has become the gift.

We're both right and both wrong, neither wanting to admit [our] errors.
Believing that [we] had walked towards happiness, [we] instantly stopped in [our] tracks.

T/N:

[1] è¦: technically, it is "to want", but in certain contexts, it implies "to take"...not so euphemistically, to have sex. Normally I would have just translated it as "want me directly" but I think 1) that sounds awkward; 2) she's singing about breakup sex in this line.

[2] This part of the lyrics plays on the idiom ç¨çºµå³é€, which refers to a fleeting opportunity or an ephemeral moment, something that is easily and quickly lost.
