[English]

Love makes us dumber than being single

And it gives us a sense of completeness we've never known

Without asking, we fall deeper and deeper. If not for that kiss, the year would be even colder

Belief becomes some kind of special talent

Fate is just naive self-deception

Longing always runs wildly through the night

Especially missing that mesmerizing look in his eyes

It's so rare that you meet the right person

Rare that you take love seriously and risk everything without overthinking

So rare that you fall in love with the right person, but sadly, he might not be yours

We once thought love was like the morning

But it turns out the hardest time to get through is actually dusk

We all loved some poet once

But poets are just ordinary people too

It's so rare that you meet the right person

Rare that you take love seriously and risk everything without overthinking

So rare that you fall in love with the right person, but sadly, he might not be yours

It's so rare that we meet the right person

Fortunate to have such good luck for several lifetimes to get this chance

It's so rare that we fall in love with the right person

Even if he's not the one in the end

I wish him to love someone even more bravely

...

[Chinese]

愛讓我們變得比單身愚笨

也讓我們擁有從未的完整

問也不問就越陷越深 如果不是那個吻 那年會更冷

相信變成了某種特殊天分

緣份只是自欺欺人的天真

想念總是在夜裡狂奔

特別想他著魔的眼神

好難得你遇見了對的人

難得你很認真 不想太多去奮不顧身

好難得你愛上了對的人 可惜他不是你的可能

我們都曾以為愛就像清晨

原來最難捱過的竟是黃昏

我們都愛過某個詩人

可是詩人也是平凡人

好難得你遇見了對的人

難得你很認真 不想太多去奮不顧身

好難得你愛上了對的人 可惜他不是你的可能

好難得我們遇見了對的人

難得好幾輩子的好運 才有機會完成

好難得我們愛上了對的人

就算他不是到最後的人

也祝他更勇敢愛別人
