[English]

Your voice unravels the mystery of our story

A promise made ten thousand years ago

You under the big tree, red scarf, rain held in your palms

Cried or laughed, it's still you and only you

If we miss each other again, I dare not hold your hand

How lonely I would be waiting for the thread of fate to come

If I could, I want to go back to the day we met

Stop time, that rain

Just want to hold you, proof that you're beside me, your breathing I kiss

In the blink of an eye, in a moment, you said forever

It won't change (hoo-whoo-whoo)

You under the big tree, red scarf, rain held in your palms

Cried or laughed, it's still you and only you

If we miss each other again, I dare not hold your hand

If there's no 'what if,' when the thread of fate comes

If I could, I want to go back to the day we met

Stop time, that rain

Just want to hold you, proof that you're beside me, your breathing I kiss

In the blink of an eye, in a moment, you said forever

If I could, a single encounter in a thousand years in this vast sea of people

Turning around under the moonlight, that’s you

The red thread crosses, hiding the secrets of reincarnation, I gamble my luck

Because of you, I’m not afraid to defy fate

Getting closer, believing — just how tangled is our love?

Even violent storms and winds, I don't want to guard against

Loving, just loving, etched in the promises of our tears

Flowers bloom from the fire

If I could, I want to go back to the day we met

Stop time, that rain

Just want to hold you, proof that you're beside me, your breathing I kiss

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years, let me leave you free

If I could, a single encounter in a thousand years in this vast sea of people

Turning around under the moonlight, that’s you

The red thread crosses, hiding the secrets of reincarnation, I gamble my luck

You are my decision, risking everything for the world

[Chinese]

妳的聲音解開了故事的謎語

落下一萬年的約定

大樹下的妳 紅色圍巾 手心裡捧的雨

哭了笑了 除了妳還是妳

我們如果又一次錯過 不敢牽起妳的手

我會多麼寂寞 等待紅線來的時候

如果可以 我想和妳回到那天相遇

讓時間停止 那一場雨

只想擁抱 妳在身邊的證據 吻妳的呼吸

一眨眼 一瞬間 妳說好就是永遠

不會變 (hoo-whoo-whoo)

大樹下的妳 紅色圍巾 手心裡捧的雨

哭了笑了 除了妳還是妳

我們 如果又一次錯過 不敢牽起妳的手

如果沒有如果 等到紅線來的時候

如果可以 我想和妳回到那天相遇

讓時間停止 那一場雨

只想擁抱 妳在身邊的證據 吻妳的呼吸

一眨眼 一瞬間 妳說好就是永遠

如果可以 茫茫人海千年一眼相遇

月光下轉身 那就是妳

紅線劃過 深藏輪迴的秘密 我揮霍運氣

因為妳 才讓我 背對命運不害怕

靠近了 相信了 到底我們愛得有多狼狽

暴雨狂風也不想防備

愛了 就愛了 只刻在我們淚光的約定

火開出了花

如果可以 我想和妳回到那天相遇

讓時間停止 那一場雨

只想擁抱 妳在身邊的證據 吻妳的呼吸

一眨眼 一萬年 留給我別困住妳

如果可以 茫茫人海千年一眼相遇

月光下轉身 那就是妳

紅線劃過 深藏輪迴的秘密 我花光運氣

妳是我 賭上世界的 決定
