曲終人散 [qū zhōng rén sàn] [English translation]

When you let him put the ring on your finger

I noticed the complicated smile on your face

That should’ve been me giving you the commitment

Now, I can only stand among the lively crowd

＊As the others and I congratulated you

Only you knew that I’ve had one too many drinks

I couldn’t look at you anymore, even one more look is painful

Even though I know that you secretly looked back at me

＃At last I know the loneliness after

the music ended and people dispersed 1

Only sad people can understand

The red dress I last saw you in remained in my eyes

I don’t have any excuse to keep loving you

△So this is the loneliness after

the music ended and people dispersed

What am I still waiting for

You grabbed me by my sleeves

Then released your grip to let me go

This time, you have truly broken up with me
