Red Bean

I haven't fully experienced the weather where snowflakes bloom

Shivering together, we understand what tenderness truly is

Haven't held your hand and walked across the barren sands

Maybe from now on, I'll learn to cherish eternity and everlasting love

Sometimes, I believe everything has an end

Gathering and parting happen sometimes, nothing lasts forever

But sometimes, I’d rather stay nostalgic and hold on tight

When I've seen all the scenery, maybe you'll stay to watch the gentle flow of time

I haven't yet boiled red beans into a lingering wound for you

Then sharing it, we’d better understand the sorrow of longing

I haven't fully felt the tenderness of waking kisses

Maybe beside me, you’re seeking the freedom of solitude

Sometimes, I believe everything has an end

Getting together and leaving happen sometimes, nothing is eternal

But sometimes, I’d rather stay attached and not let go

When I’ve seen all there is to see, maybe you'll stay and watch the gentle flow of time

Sometimes, I believe everything has an end

Meeting and parting happen sometimes, nothing lasts forever

But sometimes, I’d rather cling and not let go

When I’ve seen everything, maybe you’ll stay and watch the slow flow of life

紅豆

還沒好好的感受 雪花綻放的氣候

我們一起顫抖 會更明白什麼是溫柔

還沒跟你牽著手 走過荒蕪的沙丘

可能從此以後學會珍惜 天長和地久

有時候有時候 我會相信一切有盡頭

相聚離開都有時候 沒有什麼會永垂不朽

可是我有時候 寧願選擇留戀不放手

等到風景都看透 也許你會陪我看細水長流

還沒為你把紅豆 熬成纏綿的傷口

然後一起分享 會更明白相思的哀愁

還沒好好的感受 醒著親吻的溫柔

可能在我左右 你才追求孤獨的自由

有時候有時候 我會相信一切有盡頭

相聚離開都有時候 沒有什麼會永垂不朽

可是我有時候 寧願選擇留戀不放手

等到風景都看透 也許你會陪我看細水長流

有時候有時候 我會相信一切有盡頭

相聚離開都有時候 沒有什麼會永垂不朽

可是我有時候 寧願選擇留戀不放手

等到風景都看透 也許你會陪我看細水長流
