If My Love Letter Addressed Wrong 《如果我的情书写错了地址》

If my love letter addressed wrong
Giving you a beautiful mistake
To leave the mistake as a mistake
Will you, as a stranger, be moved?

IF is what I am talking about, if I gave
All my love of this life to an unlovable man
Just like this wrongly addressed love letter
As a stranger, will you be moved?

An unlovable man
Left me a dream not to be awaked of
Without telling me the reason for his departing
What would you say, should I write this story
Into a romance novel, or make it into a series drama
On the TV screen, so that my man
At the prime time every evening
Would find a program that seems to have seen before?

If my love letter addressed wrong
Being returned by you, stamped
Together with a thousand springs of mine
Left at the post office openly to be picked up
Dreaming the same dream everyday, dreaming of myself
In love with an unlovable man
In a dream dare not to be awaked of
