The title of this song is Cha Jian, literally mean rubbing shoulder which I translated as Slipping Away because after I listened to this song for few times, my interpretation about this song, the way I feel for the song kind of describing about how a man and woman for many occasions missing and slipping each others. It feels alike almost there yet still lost it.
Slipping Away (擦肩)
Zheng Ye Cheng (郑业成)
漫长的人生不知要走多远
Man chang de ren sheng bu zhi yao zou duo yuan
I don’t know how far should I go for this long life
一直在黑暗里面等一个人出现
Yi zhe zai hei an li mian deng yi ge ren chu xian
I have been inside the dark place waiting for someone to show up
风吹过耳边该死这冷冷的夜
Feng chui guo er bian gai si zhi leng leng de ye
The wind blowing on my ears in this cold night
我没管住自己又想了你一遍
Wo mei guan zhu zi ji you xiang le ni yi pian
I can’t control myself to miss you again
前世多少次擦肩
Qian shi duo shao chi cha jian
There were many times slipping away
换来今生的遇见
Huan lai jin sheng de yu jian
As the exchange is today encountering
好遗憾啊好遗憾啊
Hao yi han ah hao yi han ah
So regretful so regretful
这一次仍然是擦肩
Zhe yi chi reng ran shi cha jian
This time still slipping away
如果不是你陪我走完人生的路
Ru guo bu shi ni pei wo zou wan ren sheng de lu
If you are not the person accompanying me walking until the end of life
那就让我牢牢记住你微笑的弧度
Na jiu rang wo lao lao ji zhu ni wei xiao de hu du
Then let me bear in mind the curved of your smile
我们都被现实驯服喧哗中孤独
Wo men dou bei xian shi xun fu xuan hua zhong gu du
We are tamed by the reality of loneliness in this noise
命运将你困住
Ming yun jiang ni kun zhu
You tied by fate
下辈子再做爱情的信徒
Xia bei zi zai zuo ai qing de xin tu
In the next life let’s be a love believer
风吹过耳边该死这冷冷的夜
Feng chui guo er bian gai si zhi leng leng de ye
The wind blowing on my ears in this cold night
我没管住自己又想了你一遍
Wo mei guan zhu zi ji you xiang le ni yi pian
I can’t control myself to miss you again

突然天空下起了大雾
Tu ran tian kong xia qi le da wu
Suddenly there is fog in the sky
好想你在身边我就不会迷路
Hao xiang ni zai shen bian wo jiu bu hui mi lu
As if you are staying at my beside then I would not be lost
眼前还是模糊我用力忍住不哭
Yan qian hai shi mo hu wo yong li ren zhu bu ku
My eyes still blur and I tried so hard not to cry
如果不是你陪我走完人生的路
Ru guo bu shi ni pei wo zou wan ren sheng de lu
If you are not the person accompanying me walking until the end of life
那就让我牢牢记住你微笑的弧度
Na jiu rang wo lao lao ji zhu ni wei xiao de hu du
Then let me bear in mind the curved of your smile
