Can we still meet again?

I have prayed bitterly before Buddha for thousands of years

Willing to trade several lifetimes for one lifetime of our love

Hoping to move the heavens above

Can we still, can we still meet again?

I have prayed bitterly before Buddha for thousands of years

Before I step across this Bridge of Helplessness

Let me kiss your face once more

When the moonlight shines on my face

I think I’m about to change my look

There’s a kind of pain that tears the heart apart

Drinking it gives me magical strength

Closing my eyes, I see heaven

Where your smile is hidden

I dodge countless hunters’ guns

Drive away the sadness crawling out of graves

For you, I become a werewolf

For you, I catch madness

For you, I wear a thick disguise

For you, I change my heart

Can we still meet again?

I have prayed bitterly before Buddha for thousands of years

Willing to trade several lifetimes for one lifetime of our love

Hoping to move the heavens above

Can we still, can we still meet again?

I have prayed bitterly before Buddha for thousands of years

Before I step across this Bridge of Helplessness

Let me kiss your face once more

Closing my eyes, I see heaven

Where your smile is hidden

I dodge countless hunters’ guns

Drive away the sadness crawling out of graves

For you, I become a werewolf

For you, I catch madness

For you, I wear a thick disguise

For you, I change my heart

Can we still meet again?

I have prayed bitterly before Buddha for thousands of years

Willing to trade several lifetimes for one lifetime of our love

Hoping to move the heavens above

Can we still, can we still meet again?

I have prayed bitterly before Buddha for thousands of years

Before I step across this Bridge of Helplessness

Let me kiss your face once more

Can we still meet again?

I have prayed bitterly before Buddha for thousands of years

Willing to trade several lifetimes for one lifetime of our love

Hoping to move the heavens above

Can we still, can we still meet again?

I have prayed bitterly before Buddha for thousands of years

Before I step across this Bridge of Helplessness

Let me kiss your face once more

Let me kiss your face once more

Let me kiss your face once more

我们还能不能再见面

我在佛前苦苦求了几千年

愿意用几世换我们一世情缘

希望可以感动上天

我们还能不能能不能再见面

我在佛前苦苦求了几千年

当我在踏过这条奈何桥之前

让我再吻一吻你的脸

当月光洒在我的脸上

我想我就快变了模样

有一种叫做撕心裂肺的汤

喝了它有神奇的力量

闭上眼看见天堂

那是藏着你笑的地方

我躲开无数个猎人的枪

赶走坟墓爬出的忧伤

为了你我变成狼人模样

为了你染上了疯狂

为了你穿上厚厚的伪装

为了你换了心肠

我们还能不能再见面

我在佛前苦苦求了几千年

愿意用几世换我们一世情缘

希望可以感动上天

我们还能不能能不能再见面

我在佛前苦苦求了几千年

当我在踏过这条奈何桥之前

让我再吻一吻你的脸

闭上眼看见天堂

那是藏着你笑的地方

我躲开无数个猎人的枪

赶走坟墓爬出的忧伤

为了你我变成狼人模样

为了你染上了疯狂

为了你穿上厚厚的伪装

为了你换了心肠

我们还能不能再见面

我在佛前苦苦求了几千年

愿意用几世换我们一世情缘

希望可以感动上天

我们还能不能能不能再见面

我在佛前苦苦求了几千年

当我在踏过这条奈何桥之前

让我再吻一吻你的脸

我们还能不能再见面

我在佛前苦苦求了几千年

愿意用几世换我们一世情缘

希望可以感动上天

我们还能不能能不能再见面

我在佛前苦苦求了几千年

当我在踏过这条奈何桥之前

让我再吻一吻你的脸

让我再吻一吻你的脸

让我再吻一吻你的脸
