One of the biggest hits of 2011 by Taiwanese blind singer Ricky Hsiao (蕭煌奇). I love this original version by Ricky which is more about acceptance, but I also love the live version by Shin (信) from season 4 of I Am A Singer (我是歌手4) which is a very powerful rendition more about reluctance to let go.
原來我們 最大的懲罰是後悔
The late realization that the harshest punishment is regret
最痛的遺憾是（永遠）再也沒有機會
The most painful regret is to never have the chance again
末班車 Last Train
作詞：馬嵩惟 作曲：李偉菘
空著手 猶如你來的時候
Empty handed, just like when you first arrived
緊皺的額頭 終於再沒有苦痛
Those furrows in your forehead, finally there’s no longer any more suffering
走得太累了 眼皮難免會沉重
Too exhausted from this walk, your eyelids will inevitable be heavy
你沒錯 是應該回家坐坐
You are not wrong, it’s time to go back and rest
鳴笛聲 悄悄地刺進耳朵
The incessant noise of traffic, softly creeping into my ears
這一次揮手 恐怕再沒機會問候
This wave of goodbye, I’m afraid we will never have the chance to say hello again
最後一遍了 換你躲進我雙肘
For the very last time, let me hold you in my arms once more
像靠在 曾搖動我的天空
Just like leaning on a world that have shaken me
別說話 淚水你別帶走
Don’t say anything, and don’t bring the tears away with you
鏡子裡的我 已留下你 輪廓上的笑容
My reflection in the mirror, already have your smiling profile imprinted
別回眸 末班車要開了
Don’t turn back, the last train is about to leave
你不過先走 深愛是讓不捨離開的人 好好走
You are only leaving ahead of me, true love is to wish the one we are most reluctant to let go, to go peacefully
鳴笛聲 悄悄地刺進耳朵
The incessant noise of traffic, softly creeping into my ears
這一次揮手 恐怕再沒機會問候
This wave of goodbye, I’m afraid we will never have the chance to say hello again
最後一遍了 換你躲進我雙肘
For the very last time, let me hold you in my arms once more
像靠在 曾搖動我的天空
Just like leaning on a world that have shaken me
別說話 淚水你別帶走
Don’t say anything, and don’t bring the tears away with you
鏡子裡的我 已留下你 輪廓上的笑容
My reflection in the mirror, already have your smiling profile imprinted
別回眸 末班車要開了
Don’t turn back, the last train is about to leave
你不過先走 深愛是讓不捨離開的人 好好走
You are only leaving ahead of me, true love is to wish the one we are most reluctant to let go, to go peacefully
別牽掛 約好我們再見
Don’t worry, promise we will meet again somehow
散步的午後 要像從前 再挽著手敘舊
To go for an afternoon stroll just like before, hand in hand recounting the past
別逗留 末班車要開了
Don’t linger, the last train is about to leave
路到了盡頭 回頭是爲永留心口的人 好好走
It is the end of the road, looking back is only to wish the one who’s always in your heart, to go peacefully
