Lyrics (Original Chinese, Pinyin Romanization, and English Translation):

又回到最初的起点
you4 hui2 dao4 zui4 chu1 de qi3 dian3
Once again back to where it all began

记忆中你青涩的脸
ji4 yi4 zhong1 ni3 qing1 se4 de lian3
remembering your young face

我们终于来到了这一天
wo3 men zhong1 yu2 lai2 dao4 zhe4 yi4 tian1
we’ve finally come to this day

 

桌垫下的老照片 
zhuo1 dian4 xia4 de lao3 zhao4 pian 
The old photos under the desk mat

无数回忆连结
wu2 shu4 hui2 yi4 lian2 jie2
link to countless memories

今天男孩要赴女孩最后的约
jin1 tian1 nan2 hai2 yao4 fu4 nv3 hai2 zui4 hou4 de yue1
and today the boy will go for the last appointment with the girl

 
PRE-CHORUS:

又回到最初的起点
you4 hui2 dao4 zui4 chu1 de qi3 dian3
Once again back to where it all began

呆呆地站在镜子前
dai1 dai1 de zhan4 zai4 jing4 zi qian2
standing foolishly in front of the mirror 

笨拙系上红色领带的结
ben4 zhuo4 ji4 shang4 hong2 se4 ling3 dai4 de jie2
clumsily tying a red tie

将头发梳成大人模样
jiang1 tou2 fa4 shu1 cheng2 da4 ren2 mu2 yang4
combing my hair to look more mature

穿上一身帅气西装
chuan1 shang4 yi4 shen1 shuai4 qi4 xi1 zhuang1
and putting on a handsome suit

等会儿见你一定比想像美
deng3 hui3 er jian4 ni3 yi2 ding4 bi3 xiang3 xiang4 mei3
When I meet you in a bit, you’ll definitely be more beautiful than I imagined

 

好想再回到那些年的时光
hao3 xiang3 zai4 hui2 dao4 na3 xie1 nian2 de shi2 guang1
I so want to go back to those years

回到教室座位前后
hui2 dao4 jiao4 shi4 zuo4 wei4 qian2 hou4 
back to the classroom where I sat in front of you

故意讨你温柔的骂
gu4 yi4 tao3 ni3 wen1 rou2 de ma4
and intentionally sought your gentle scolding

黑板上排列组合 你舍得解开吗
hei1 ban3 shang4 pai2 lie4 zu3 he2  ni3 she3 de2 jie3 kai1 ma
The permutations and combinations on the blackboard, do you really want to solve them?

谁与谁坐他又爱著她
shui2 yu3 shui2 zuo4 ta1 you4 ai4 zhe ta1
Because no matter who is sitting with whom, he’ll keep loving her

 
CHORUS:

那些年错过的大雨
na4 xie1 nian2 cuo4 guo4 de da4 yu3
The heavy rains that I should have caught in those years

那些年错过的爱情
na4 xie1 nian2 cuo4 guo4 de ai4 qing2
The love that I should have confessed throughout those years

好想拥抱你 拥抱错过的勇气
hao3 xiang3 yong1 bao4 ni3  yong1 bao4 cuo4 guo4 de yong3 qi4
I really want to hold you and embrace the courage that I should have had

曾经想征服全世界
ceng2 jing1 xiang3 zheng1 fu2 quan2 shi4 jie4
I once dreamed of conquering the whole world

到最后回首才发现
dao4 zui4 hou4 hui2 shou3 cai2 fa1 xian4
but looking back in the end, I discovered

这世界滴滴点点全部都是你
zhe4 shi4 jie4 di1 di1 dian3 dian3 quan2 bu4 dou1 shi4 ni3
that you mean the world to me

 

那些年错过的大雨
na4 xie1 nian2 cuo4 guo4 de da4 yu3
The heavy rain that I should have caught throughout those years

那些年错过的爱情
na4 xie1 nian2 cuo4 guo4 de ai4 qing2
The love that I should have confessed throughout those years

好想告诉你 告诉你我没有忘记
hao3 xiang3 gao4 su4 ni3  gao4 su4 ni3 wo3 mei2 you3 wang4 ji4
I really want to tell you, tell you that I haven’t forgot
 
那天晚上满天星星
na4 tian1 wan3 shang4 man3 tian1 xing1 xing1
the stars that filled up the sky on that night

平行时空下的约定
ping2 xing2 shi2 kong1 xia4 de yue1 ding4
and the promise that we made about the parallel universe

再一次相遇我会紧紧抱著你
zai4 yi2 ci4 xiang1 yu4 wo3 hui4 jin3 jin3 bao4 zhe ni3
where when I will hold you tight when we meet again

紧紧抱著你
jin3 jin3 bao4 zhe ni3
I will hold you tight

 
PRE-CHORUS
