梅雨潭的爱 -- 诗、歌的应和

I have to admit that I used to think English is a very straightforward language without the subtle meaning behind the words until I encountered this song , a very gentle way to express deep sadness and regret for love lost.  My heart broke while I was listening to it and this song reminded me of another song 《我终于失去了你》.  They both convey the same feeling, albeit the way singers expressed it differently.  All of sudden, the vibrations of two songs echoed and merged with each other and the best translation of “let her go” is ”我终于失去了你”.  I think the lesson both singers can learn or we all can learn is “劝君莫惜金缕衣，劝君惜取少年时。花开堪折直须折，莫待无花空折枝。”

P.S. I rushed to make this piece to meet the deadline.  I would like to call for the translation for the ancient peom:

劝君莫惜金缕衣，劝君惜取少年时。花开堪折直须折，莫待无花空折枝。

Let her go 

Well, you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow, and they go so fast

You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day, you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow, and it goes so fast

Well, you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much, and you dived too deep
