[English]

Bamboo forest's lights, island nation's desert

A realm of seven colors, constantly drifting in the wind

There’s a mysterious gray whirlpool

Pulling me into the fog

Unclear hands, a flower passes by, delivering someone’s gentle touch

Through a thousand years of pain, just for one outcome

The outline you leave guides me, so I won't be lonely in the dark

Crossing a thousand years of sorrow, it’s you waiting for me at the end

The most beautiful feelings are worth dedicating a lifetime to守候

Bamboo forest's lights, island nation's desert

A realm of seven colors, constantly drifting in the wind

There’s a mysterious gray whirlpool

Pulling me into the fog

Unclear hands, a flower passes by, delivering someone’s gentle touch

Through a thousand years of pain, just for one outcome

The outline you leave guides me, so I won't be lonely in the dark

Crossing a thousand years of sorrow, it’s you waiting for me at the end

The most beautiful feelings are worth dedicating a lifetime to waiting for me

Crossing a thousand years of sorrow, it’s you waiting for me at the end

The most beautiful feelings are worth dedicating a lifetime to waiting for me

[Chinese]

竹林的燈火 島國的沙漠

七色的國度 不斷飄逸風中

有一種神秘 灰色的漩渦

將我捲入了 迷霧中

看不清的雙手 一朵花 傳來 誰經過的溫柔

穿越千年的傷痛 只為求一個結果

你留下的輪廓指引我 黑夜中不寂寞

穿越千年的哀愁 是你在盡頭等我

最美麗的感動 會值得 用一生 守候 竹林的燈火 島國的沙漠

七色的國度 不斷飄逸風中

有一種神秘 灰色的漩渦

將我捲入了 迷霧中

看不清的雙手 一朵花 傳來 誰經過的溫柔

穿越千年的傷痛 只為求一個結果

你留下的輪廓指引我 黑夜中不寂寞

穿越千年的哀愁 是你在盡頭等我

最美麗的感動 會值得 用一生 守候 穿越千年的傷 痛 只為求一個結果

你留下的輪廓指引我 黑夜中不寂寞

穿越千年的哀愁 是你在盡頭等我

最美麗的感動 會值得 用一生 守候
