...

On a cool autumn night, I stand by the door and look back.

What lies ahead—should I speak or hold back?

Only one I think of, growing old with you.

What does it matter—a future of bright prospects?

...

I don’t envy the immortals—one day in a year.

I only hate that mortal life isn’t enough for a thousand years.

The rain and clouds haven't cleared; kindness and grudges remain; lingering feelings still unresolved.

Love winds around for a thousand years.

...

If memories won't age.

What’s there to fear about the road of reincarnation, again and again?

A thousand years of waiting would not be in vain.

If I could restore your smile.

...

You are the heartbeat that never stopped in a past life.

You are the mark on my chest in the next life.

No clear answer yet.

How can I forget you?

The rain and clouds haven't cleared; kindness and grudges unresolved; lingering feelings remain.

Love winds around for a thousand years.

...

If memories won't age.

What’s there to fear along the road of reincarnation?

A thousand years of waiting would not be in vain.

If I could restore your smile.

...

You are the heartbeat that never stopped in a past life.

You are the mark on my chest in the next life.

Not yet clear.

You are the mark on my chest in the next life.

Not yet clear.

How can I forget you.

If Heaven has feelings, Heaven would grow old too.

I would trade a thousand years for a new dawn.

凉夜晚秋 倚门回首

此去几何 欲说还休

只念一人 共你白首

管他什么 前程锦绣

不羡神仙 一年只一天

只恨人间 不够千年

云雨未销 恩怨未报 余情未了

爱千年缠绕

若记忆不会苍老

何惧轮回路走几遭

千年等待也不枉

若能重拾你的微笑

你是前世未止的心跳

你是来生胸前的记号

未见分晓

怎么把你忘掉

凉夜晚秋 倚门回首

此去几何 欲说还休

只念一人 共你白首

管他什么 前程锦绣

不羡神仙 一年只一天

只恨人间 不够千年

云雨未销 恩怨未报 余情未了

爱千年缠绕

若记忆不会苍老

何惧轮回路走几遭

千年等待也不枉

若能重拾你的微笑

你是前世未止的心跳

你是来生胸前的记号

未见分晓

怎么把你忘掉

若记忆不会苍老

何惧轮回路走几遭

千年等待也不枉

若能重拾你的微笑

你是前世未止的心跳

你是来生胸前的记号

未见分晓

怎么把你忘掉

天若有情天亦老

我将千年换明朝
