[English]

Beneath the wish tree, a glass bottle

Hides so many of my past moments

Countless lonely nights, tears soaking through

My eyes that won't close

Open my glass bottle

Let you uncover my memories

Though before I met you, someone else broke my heart

At least now, I have you

(With you and I) A single pair of wings, we can fly

(From now on) Every second, I have you by my side

(And my) Every breath and thought, are of you

Can't be explained in just a few words

Anyway, tears and laughter are all because of you

My every word and line, no need to doubt

Without you, the rain goes tap-tap-tap

Without you, even the wind sighs

Without you, no matter how beautiful the world, I remain the same

Until I finally met you

You gave my life meaning

Fallen leaves or snow traces, all are beautiful

You are my miracle

I reach out to my own reflection

Struggling to paint a little smile

But no matter how hard I try to smile

I can't hide the tears

Until now, I have you

(With you and I) A single pair of wings, we can fly

(From now on) Every second, I have you by my side

(And my) Every breath and thought, are of you

Can't be explained in just a few words

Anyway, tears and laughter are all because of you

My every word and line, no need to doubt

Oh, how beautiful the world, if it lacks you

What meaning is there to all this, when spring turns to fall? Who will care?

Your presence is my miracle

Without you, the rain goes tap-tap-tap

Without you, even the wind sighs

Without you, no matter how beautiful the world, I remain the same

Until I finally met you

You gave my life meaning

Fallen leaves or snow traces, all are beautiful

You are my miracle

[Chinese]

願望樹下的玻璃瓶

埋藏我多少的曾經

多少孤獨的深夜 多少眼淚沾濕

我閉不上的眼睛

打開我的玻璃瓶

讓你翻開我曾經

雖然當我還沒遇見你 曾經被誰傷了我的心

至少現在 我擁有你

(我和你) 一人一支翅膀相擁就能飛翔

(以後每) 一分一秒我都擁有你在身旁

(而我的) 一呼一吸都想著你

不能三言兩語講清晰

反正一哭一笑都因為你

我的一字一句不必懷疑

沒有了你 雨答滴答滴

沒有了你 風也在歎息

沒有了你 世界再美我始終如一

直到我終於遇見了你

你讓我生命有了意義

落葉或雪跡也都美麗

你是我的奇蹟

我伸手對自己的倒影

努力畫上一點笑意

可是無論笑得多用力

還遮不住眼淚的痕跡

直到現在 我擁有了你

(我和你) 一人一支翅膀相擁就能飛翔

(以後每) 一分一秒我都擁有你在身旁

(而我的) 一呼一吸都想著你

不能三言兩語講清晰

反正一哭一笑都因為你

我的一字一句不必懷疑

Oh 世界再美 如果缺少了你

這一切又有什麼意義 春去秋來誰又會在意

你的出現 是我的奇蹟

沒有了你 雨答滴答滴

沒有了你 風也在歎息

沒有了你 世界再美我始終如一

直到我終於遇見了你

你讓我生命有了意義

落葉或雪跡也都美麗

你是我的奇蹟
