風起了 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

那道暖暖的光線 漸透入了窗邊

The warm light gradually seeps in by the window

睡眼惺忪依稀望見 斷線風箏空中獨處

With sleepy eyes, I vaguely see a lonely kite in the sky

任滿地碎葉 微風捲起數片

Let the scattered leaves on the ground be lifted by the breeze

樹幹棲息那雙雛鳥 或有天追尋理想 飛散不見

On the tree trunk rests a pair of fledglings, perhaps one day they'll chase their dreams and fly away

願你可 於他方過活別來無恙

I hope you can live well elsewhere, safe and sound

人在某異國 但遺下印象

Though I'm in a foreign land, I leave behind an impression

自那天 暗自蕩漾年少的空想

Since that day, my youthful fantasies have been secretly swaying

隨著你別去 路太漫長

Don't go with you, the road is too long

夢裡看風起了 靜聽候鳥歌謠

In my dreams, I see the wind rising, quietly listening to the songs of migratory birds

湖畔 抱著你輕飄

By the lakeside, holding you lightly

時間擦身走了 目送初春日照

Time brushes past, watching the early spring sunlight

當你回頭微笑 成長了

When you turn back and smile, you've grown

我也得開竅

I too must awaken

...

你贈我那本畫冊 讓往事更深刻

You gifted me that sketchbook, making the past more profound

沒照相機一起自拍 便以寫生替青春定格

Without a camera to take selfies, I use sketches to freeze our youth

未兌現約定 回憶地已清拆

Unfulfilled promises, memories have been dismantled

願這天光陰倒轉 遲鈍的我為你告白

I wish this day could rewind, the slow me confesses to you

夢裡看風起了 靜聽候鳥歌謠

In my dreams, I see the wind rising, quietly listening to the songs of migratory birds

湖畔 抱著你輕飄

By the lakeside, holding you lightly

時間擦身走了 目送初春日照

Time brushes past, watching the early spring sunlight

跟你純情年少 同望過溫馨破曉

With you in our pure youth, we looked forward to a warm dawn

夢見你的淺笑 曾約會那道橋

Dreaming of your gentle smile, we once met at that bridge

聊著 故事還不少

Talking about stories, there are still many to share

驟眼已天光了 換上今天日照

In the blink of an eye, dawn has arrived, bringing today's sunlight

天與地遺忘了 怎隔絕世俗煩囂

Heaven and earth have forgotten how to separate from worldly troubles

都慶幸我共你遇見讓成長的天空映照

We are all grateful to have met, letting the sky of growth reflect

最美的心跳

The most beautiful heartbeat
