[English]

The scenery rushing past speeds up our farewell

Reunion is so brief

It's hard to walk this far with you, and inside I feel a bit sour

And tears like raindrops on the car window, flowing away, no need to explain

I’ll be right here, my love

You’ve gotten used to long flights

Already adapted to some place

Sometimes feeling lonely, I wish I could be with you on video

What’s there to fear about distance

It’s not the time for us to say our goodbye

Don’t be afraid of separation, our promises remain unchanged

Think of the wonderful days we shared, dreaming about the future with you

See you soon, this is not a farewell

Moving into a new horizon when the path is unclear

Who gives affirmation

Luckily, you and I respond to each other, with the laughter and tears inside

Still witnessing for you here, trying to find the way forward

I’m still right here, my love

You’re boarding another long flight

Flying back to some place

If I can't leave, I wish to wait quietly, to be with you again

No need to wait painfully for a century

It’s not the time for us to say our goodbye

Don’t be afraid of separation, our promises remain unchanged

Think of the wonderful days we shared, dreaming about the future with you

See you soon, this is not a farewell

If the years aren’t at peace, remember to find me

Anytime is okay

In the days to come, I hope when we meet again, it will be like the first time

High or low, I will be with you, sharing more

We can always break down the obstacles here

And be together again

It’s not the time for us to say our goodbye

Don’t be afraid to let go, keep our promises alive in your mind

One day, we’ll continue this journey, hoping you can also find peace

No, it’s not the end

I’ll see you, my dear, again

No, it’s not the end

I’ll see you, my dear, again

[Chinese]

掠過的風景 加速了別離

重聚太短

難伴你再走遠 內心多少會酸

而淚線像車窗上幾撇雨 流逝不必說穿

I’ll be right here my love

你漸已習慣長途機

早適應 某地

間中如孤單 願在視像陪你

怕什麼距離

It’s not the time for us to say our goodbye

別害怕分隔開 彼此約定未會刪改

想想往日同途精彩 伴你說將來

See you soon, it’s not a goodbye

邁向新光景 當方向未明

誰贈予肯定

猶幸你我呼應 內心的哭笑聲

仍為你在這邊互相見證 尋回前行路徑

I’m still right here my love

你又再踏上長途機

飛返往 某天地

我若離不開 願靜候 再一起

哪用苦等 一世紀

It’s not the time for us to say our goodbye

別害怕分隔開 彼此約定未會刪改

想想往日同途精彩 伴你說將來

See you soon, it’s not a goodbye

年月 若不安記住要找我

哪個時間都可

來日 願再見時相好像最初

高低 尚有我陪伴分享更多

總可將這現況的隔阻 打破

再一起過

It’s not the time for us to say our goodbye

別害怕手放開 彼此約定緊記於腦海

一天再續沿途精彩 唯望你亦能看開

No it’s not the end

I’ll see you my dear, again

No it’s not the end

I’ll see you my dear, again
