[English]

Well, long ago

Certain place, certain time

You touched my hand all the way

All the way, all the way down to Emmeline

But if our paths never cross

Well, you know I'm sorry but

If I live to see the Seven Wonders

I'll make a path to the rainbow's end

I'll never live to match the beauty again

The rainbow's edge

...

Never

Never

...

So it's hard to find

Someone with that kind... kind of intensity

You touched my hand, I played it cool

And you reached out your hand to me

But if our paths never cross

Well, no I'm not sorry but

If I live to see the Seven Wonders

I'll make a path to the rainbow's end

I'll never live to match the beauty again

The rainbow's end

Never

...

Never

...

So long ago

It's a certain time, it's a certain place

You touched my hand and you smiled

All the way back, you held out your hand

But I hope, and if I pray... ooh, it might work out someday

If I live to see the Seven Wonders

I'll make a path to the rainbow's end

I'll never live to match the beauty again

If I live to see the Seven Wonders (if I live to see the Seven Wonders)

I'll make a path to the rainbow's end (I'll make a path there)

I'll never live to match the beauty again (I'll never live to see that beauty, that beauty, that same, same beauty again)

If I live to see the Seven Wonders (if I live to see them)

I'll make a path to the rainbow's end

I'll never live to match the beauty again (Well if I hope and I pray, well maybe it might work out someday)

If I live to see the Seven Wonders (if I live to see the Seven Wonders)
