Lyrics & Translation

[English]

We cried, we smiled

We look up at the sky

A few stars are still shining

We sing a song of time

Only then do we understand how to embrace each other

What is it really for

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving footprints makes it beautiful

The wind blows, flowers fall, tears fall like rain

Because I don't want to be apart

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving a ten-year promise

If we meet again

I think I will remember you

We cried, we smiled

We look up at the sky

A few stars are still shining

We sing a song of time

Only then do we understand how to embrace each other

What is it really for

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving footprints makes it beautiful

The wind blows, flowers fall, tears fall like rain

Because I don't want to be apart

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving a ten-year promise

If we meet again

I think I will remember you

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving footprints makes it beautiful

The wind blows, flowers fall, tears fall like rain

Because I don't want to be apart

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving a ten-year promise

If we meet again

I think I will remember you

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving footprints makes it beautiful

The wind blows, flowers fall, tears fall like rain

Because I don't want to be apart

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving a ten-year promise

If we meet again

I think I will remember you

[Vietnamese]

我们哭了 我们笑着

我们抬头望天空

星星还亮着几颗

我们唱着时间的歌

才懂得相互拥抱

到底是为了什么

因为我刚好遇见你

留下足迹才美丽

风吹花落泪如雨

因为不想分离

因为刚好遇见你

留下十年的期许

如果再相遇

我想我会记得你

我们哭了我们笑着

我们抬头望天空

星星还亮着几颗

我们唱着时间的歌

才懂得相互拥抱

到底是为了什么

因为我刚好遇见你

留下足迹才美丽

风吹花落泪如雨

因为不想分离

因为刚好遇见你

留下十年的期许

如果再相遇

我想我会记得你

因为我刚好遇见你

留下足迹才美丽

风吹花落泪如雨

因为不想分离

因为刚好遇见你

留下十年的期许

如果再相遇

我想我会记得你

因为我刚好遇见你

留下足迹才美丽

风吹花落泪如雨

因为不想分离

因为刚好遇见你

留下十年的期许

如果再相遇

我想我会记得你
