[English]

The clouds at the horizon stretch endlessly

Overlooking those longing eyes

Time is still journeying far away

Leaving footprints of someone

It's not just the courage of affection

Destined to be unable to get close

Consider loving you a secret

Afraid to disturb you and drift away

Endless

How I wish I could submerge into the depths of the sea

Gently resting

It soothes the ache in your heart

If all things in the world can cross over and love

Then they can bring together the clouds and the sea

Forgetting how far and dangerous it is from shore

Not visible at all

If the ends of the earth don’t part, it’s not hard to endure

Tears will eventually cease

Don’t forget their unfulfilled love

Destined to be unable to get close

Consider loving you a secret

Afraid to disturb you and drift away

Endless

How I wish I could submerge into the depths of the sea

Gently resting

It soothes the ache in your heart

If all things in the world can cross over and love

Then they can bring together the clouds and the sea

Forgetting how far and dangerous it is from shore

Not visible at all

If the ends of the earth don’t part, it’s not hard to endure

Tears will eventually cease

Don’t forget their unfulfilled love

If all things in the world can cross over and love

Then they can bring together the clouds and the sea

Forgetting how far and dangerous it is from shore

Not visible at all

If the ends of the earth don’t part, it’s not hard to endure

Tears will eventually cease

Don’t forget their unfulfilled love

[Vietnamese]

天边的云一望无际

俯瞰那双眺望的眼睛

时间还在远行

留下谁的脚印

不只是贪恋的勇气

命中注定不能靠近

爱你的事当做秘密

怕惊扰你从此远离

无穷尽

多想能够潜入海底

温柔的栖息

是抚平你心口的原因

如果世间万物能跨越能相爱

也能成全云与海

忘了离岸多远多危险

都看不见

如果海角天涯不分开不难捱

眼泪终会断守

别忘了它们的爱而不得

命中注定不能靠近

爱你的事当做秘密

怕惊扰你从此远离

无穷尽

多想能够潜入海底

温柔的栖息

是抚平你心口的原因

如果世间万物能跨越能相爱

也能成全云与海

忘了离岸多远多危险

都看不见

如果海角天涯不分开不难捱

眼泪终会断守

别忘了它们的爱而不得

如果世间万物能跨越能相爱

也能成全云与海

忘了离岸多远多危险

都看不见

如果海角天涯不分开不难捱

眼泪终会断守

别忘了它们的爱而不得
