[English]

I remember that spring

With a betrayal I didn't see coming

Like the pollution in the sky, it finally unfolds

I remember that summer

Friendship and love both reveal their flaws

Walking the road of love, suffering losses

In the end, everything has changed

The long street scenery has shifted

Thinking back again, whose face is that?

Which young boy from those days

Passes by that same old scene

Pain and wounds are inevitable

Still tears and insomnia follow

I recall the arrow that pierced my heart that day

...

I remember that autumn

A lonely little swallow flying home filled with sorrow

The half-dry branches at the window sprout anew

I recall that winter

Half-blind, trapped inside a cocoon

Spinning around, fate remains unclear

In the end, everything has changed

The long street scenery has shifted

Thinking back again, whose face is that?

Which boy from those days

Passes by that same old scene

Pain and wounds are unavoidable

Still tears and insomnia follow

The tears that pierce through heart and lungs

...

In the passing seasons, everything changes

The butterfly finally transforms

No longer staying attached to any face

Those two boys from the past

Even if the world's scenes replay

Will it remain unchanged?

Still parting and entangling

Plucking the arrow that pierced my heart, I am grateful, not resentful

I appreciate this spring

When flowers bloom again, I send my blessings

Awaiting Cupid to shoot a new arrow

...

[Chinese]

我記起那年春天

得我一個不知的欺騙

如天空的污染 終於都上演

我記起那年暑天

友情愛情兩邊都發現虧欠

情路上跌損

最後已事過境遷

長街風景已變

再度回想誰的臉

往日哪位少年

又再路過事發景點

痛傷少不免

仍是會流淚失眠

尚記得當天貫心的一箭

我記起那年秋天

飛過一隻心酸小孤燕

半枯乾的枝節 於窗邊發展

我記起那年的冬天

半矇半矓困於繭裡面

兜轉 緣份未看穿

最後已事過境遷

長街風景已變

再度回想誰的臉

往日哪位少年

又再路過事發景點

痛傷少不免

仍是會流淚失眠

淚染穿心穿肺那一點

季度裡事過境遷

蝴蝶終於蛻變

再沒留戀誰的臉

往日兩位少年

就算讓世事再翻演

會否不改變

仍是會離別 糾纏

拔去穿心一箭 感恩不怨

我感激這年春天

花再開遍祝福相獻

待那邱比特放出新一箭
