[English]

Fate rewrites itself on the spot, just because of that one glance we shared that day

Quietly gazing, speechless, turns out encounters are too simple

The world is like pitch black, only your figure stands out most

Strolling in Tokyo under the moon, forgetting the night grows colder and colder

Black eyes, along the way, we had a scene to remember

But on the road, no one knows each other's names

Quietly passing by, taking photos, the night in Meguro has stars

Having traveled, next time, we might not pass by here

Sitting down in that MOS Burger in the deep night of Meguro district

Silently using our hands to express our love, yet only knowing a bit of Chinese characters

Again, it's a short love story that begins with gazing at each other and ends with breaking up

But what's special is that in these few years, I secretly remember it, my face also blushing

Black eyes, along the way, we had a scene to remember

But on the road, no one knows each other's names

Asking myself, I once yearned to stay and watch the stars here

Unfortunately, I wasn't invited

Black eyes, along the way, we had a scene to remember

But on the road, no one knows each other's names

Asking myself, I once yearned to stay and watch the stars here

Unfortunately, I wasn't invited

[Chinese]

命運就地改寫 只因你我當天那一眼

靜靜互望啞口無言 原來邂逅太簡單

大地就像一黑 只得你那身影最顯眼

月下漫步東京同遊　遺忘晚上變得越來越冷

黑色眼睛 沿途與你有過一幀風景

但路上 誰也沒名沒姓

靜靜行經 留影 目黑之夜有星

遊歷過　下一次未必經

坐下在目黑區深宵那個摩斯漢堡店

默默用著雙手談情 然而漢字會一點

又是互望開始分手作結的戀愛短篇

但特別在這幾年來 時時暗地記起亦紅著臉

黑色眼睛 沿途與你有過一幀風景

但路上 誰也沒名沒姓

自問曾經 憧憬 留低此地看星

無奈我 未得到被邀請

黑色眼睛 沿途與你有過一幀風景

但路上 誰也沒名沒姓

自問曾經 憧憬 留低此地看星

無奈我 未得到被邀請
