Who parts so love grows into sickness? Don't ask about distant ends.

Nor ask when you'll return.

What can be done — no one understands.

When love breaks, only you feel the chill and warmth.

Who parts so love grows into sickness? Don't ask about distant ends.

Nor ask when you'll return.

What can be done — no one understands.

My thoughts,

are hidden like a thorn against my heart.

It's not in vain to search, and yet it's like this.

Silence at times, and finally I act recklessly because of you.

Deep ink can't stain these feelings.

How can longing be sent on a cold night?

Silence at times, thoughts at times.

Who parts so love grows into sickness? Don't ask about distant ends.

Nor ask when you'll return.

What can be done — no one understands.

When love breaks, only you feel the chill and warmth.

Who parts so love grows into sickness? Don't ask about distant ends.

Nor ask when you'll return.

What can be done — no one understands.

My thoughts,

are hidden like a thorn against my heart.

It's not in vain to search, and yet it's like this.

Silence at times, and finally I act recklessly because of you.

Deep ink can't stain these feelings.

How can longing be sent on a cold night?

Silence at times, thoughts at times.

Who parts so love grows into sickness? Don't ask about distant ends.

Nor ask when you'll return.

What can be done — no one understands.

When love breaks, only you feel the chill and warmth.

Who parts so love grows into sickness? Don't ask about distant ends.

Nor ask when you'll return.

What can be done — no one understands.

My thoughts,

Who parts so love grows into sickness? Don't ask about distant ends.

Nor ask when you'll return.

What can be done — no one understands.

When love breaks, only you feel the chill and warmth.

Who parts so love grows into sickness? Don't ask about distant ends.

Nor ask when you'll return.

What can be done — no one understands.

My thoughts,

[Chinese]

谁诀别相思成疾莫问天涯

也莫问归期

怎奈何无人了解

情断之时冷暖自知

谁诀别相思成疾莫问天涯

也莫问归期

怎奈何无人了解

我心思

藏进心口的刺

不枉寻也如此

沉默有时最后因你放肆

浓墨难沾心事

寒夜怎寄相思

沉默有时念想有时

谁诀别相思成疾莫问天涯

也莫问归期

怎奈何无人了解

情断之时冷暖自知

谁诀别相思成疾莫问天涯

也莫问归期

也莫问归期

怎奈何无人了解
