Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

故事最終必須親口講再會

In the end, stories must be spoken aloud before saying goodbye

再會那些一起風雨下經過的旅館

Goodbye to those inns we've endured through rain and storm together

似候鳥般降落在湖面 離開的臉

Like migratory birds landing on the lake, faces departing

飛走了難再遇見

They’ve flown away, hard to meet again

八月晚風輕輕吹過多恬靜

August evening breeze softly blows, so peaceful

脫下那些金色的碎片 黃葉灑滿天

Take off those golden fragments, yellow leaves filling the sky

碎葉每刻各自在流轉 途中所見

Fallen leaves drift each moment, what we see along the way

一早已藏了伏線

Already hidden the clues from the start

請記得 誰有停留過

Remember who has stayed

請記得 曾有一份愛存在

Remember there was a love that once existed

請記得 留住感覺 過渡在人海

Remember to hold on to the feeling, passing through the crowd

我記得 熾熱曾盛放

I remember the passionate bloom

仲夏晚空星星把心房照亮

Mid-summer nights with stars illuminating the heart’s chamber

脆弱你的偏執跟那些沉重的理想

Your fragile stubbornness and those heavy dreams

信念也許散落在雲海 忘了方向

Faith may scatter over the clouds, forgetting the way

始終有螢鳥導向

Yet fireflies always guide us

請記得 誰也曾迷惘

Remember who once felt lost

請記得 還有一份愛存在

Remember there is still love that exists

請記得 留住感覺 過渡在人海

Remember to hold on to the feeling, passing through the crowd

我記得 雨後能劃破

I remember rain slicing through the sky

請記得 誰和誰掠過

Remember who has brushed past whom

請記得 還有一份愛 不怕什麼

Remember there’s still love, unafraid of anything

請記得 留住感覺 過渡在人海

Remember to hold on to the feeling, passing through the crowd

我感激 曇花盛放

I appreciate the fleeting blooming of the ephemeral flower

那記憶 最後還是愛

In the end, that memory is still love

...
