Lyrics & Translation

[English]

The clouds on the horizon stretch endlessly

Looking down at those eyes gazing afar

Time keeps moving on a distant journey

Leaving behind someone’s footprints

Not just courage born from desire

Destined never to get close

Loving you kept as a secret

Afraid to disturb, so you drift away

Endlessly

How I wish I could dive into the sea

To gently rest there

The reason to soothe the ache in your heart

If all things in the world could overcome and love each other

They could also fulfill the clouds and the sea

Forgetting how far and dangerous the shore is

Unable to see at all

If the ends of the earth never separated and hardship didn’t matter

Tears would always stay together

Don’t forget, their love is impossible

Destined never to get close

Loving you kept as a secret

Afraid to disturb, so you drift away

Endlessly

How I wish I could dive into the sea

To gently rest there

The reason to soothe the ache in your heart

If all things in the world could overcome and love each other

They could also fulfill the clouds and the sea

Forgetting how far and dangerous the shore is

Unable to see at all

If the ends of the earth never separated and hardship didn’t matter

Tears would always stay together

Don’t forget, their love is impossible

If all things in the world could overcome and love each other

They could also fulfill the clouds and the sea

Forgetting how far and dangerous the shore is

Unable to see at all

If the ends of the earth never separated and hardship didn’t matter

Tears would always stay together

Don’t forget, their love is impossible

[Chinese]

天邊的雲一望無際

俯瞰那雙眺望的眼睛

時間還在遠行

留下誰的腳印

不只是貪戀的勇氣

命中註定不能靠近

愛你的事當做秘密

怕驚擾你從此遠離

無窮盡

多想能夠潛入海底

溫柔的棲息

是撫平 你心口的原因

如果世間萬物能跨越能相愛

也能成全雲與海

忘了離岸多遠多危險

都看不見

如果海角天涯不分開不難捱

眼淚總會廝守

別忘了 它們的愛而 不得

命中註定不能靠近

愛你的事當做秘密

怕驚擾你從此遠離

無窮盡

多想能夠潛入海底

溫柔的棲息

是撫平 你心口的原因

如果世間萬物能跨越能相愛

也能成全雲與海

忘了離岸多遠多危險

都看不見

如果海角天涯不分開不難捱

眼淚總會廝守

別忘了 它們的愛而 不得

如果世間萬物能跨越能相愛

也能成全雲與海

忘了離岸多遠多危險

都看不見

如果海角天涯不分開不難捱

眼淚總會廝守

別忘了 它們的愛而 不得
