[English]

Listening to the sound of the sea so clear

Forgot the moonlight in the city

A hint of sadness

Courage is the shape of love

Kites flying over strangers

Why not lift your head and look around?

Is my sky the same as yours?

One day, I will definitely stand on the high hill

Thinking of what my elder said: don't be afraid

Let the autumn moonlight fill the alleys and streets

Singing an old song, waiting for you to come home

Forget the aching longing

Happiness and sadness are both in the past

Once wandering in the rain, saying goodbye to life's fleeting nature

At that moment, we shed tears

Now, enjoying flowers, the moon, and autumn countryside

My heart longs for this moment, eternal as the sky

...

Believe that we can love as vast as the sky

[Chinese]

聽海的聲音多麼嘹亮

忘了城裏的月光

淡淡憂傷

勇氣是愛情的模樣

風箏飛過陌生人呀

為何不擡頭望望

我的天空 是否和你的一樣

有一天 我一定站在高崗上

想著前輩說的那句話 別害怕

就讓秋天的月光 撒滿巷弄街坊

唱一曲老歌等你回家

忘了肝腸寸斷的想法

快樂悲傷 都是過往

曾經在雨中流浪 吻別世間無常

那一刻我們潸然淚下

如今賞花賞月賞秋鄉

我心渴望 此刻恒比天長

聽海的聲音多麼嘹亮

忘了城裏的月光

淡淡憂傷

勇氣是愛情的模樣

風箏飛過陌生人呀

為何不擡頭望望

我的天空 是否和你的一樣

有一天 我一定站在高崗上

想著前輩說的那句話 別害怕

就讓秋天的月光 撒滿巷弄街坊

唱一曲老歌等你回家

忘了肝腸寸斷的想法

快樂悲傷 都是過往

曾經在雨中流浪 吻別世間無常

那一刻我們潸然淚下

如今賞花賞月賞秋鄉

我心渴望 此刻恒比天長

就讓秋天的月光 撒滿巷弄街坊

唱一曲老歌等你回家

忘了肝腸寸斷的想法

快樂悲傷 都是過往

曾經在雨中流浪 吻別世間無常

那一刻我們潸然淚下

如今賞花賞月賞秋鄉

如今賞花賞月賞秋鄉

一起賞花賞月賞秋鄉

我心渴望 此刻恒比天長

相信我們 能愛得比天廣
