Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

聽著自己的心跳

Listening to my heartbeat

沒有規則地跳躍

Jumping without rules

我安靜地在思考

Quietly I reflect

並不想被誰打擾

Not wanting to be disturbed

我們曾緊緊擁抱

We once held tight in embrace

卻又輕易地放掉

Yet easily let go

那種感覺很微妙

That feeling is so subtle

該怎麼說才好

How should I express it

時間分割成對角

Time splits into a diagonal

停止你對我的好

Stop your kindness towards me

瓦解我們的依靠

Breaking down our reliance

在你離開之後的天空

In the sky after you leave

我像風箏尋一個夢

Like a kite searching for a dream

雨後的天空

The sky after the rain

是否有放晴後的面容

Is there a face after clearing up

我靜靜的望著天空

Quietly I watch the sky

試著尋找失落的感動

Trying to find lost emotions

只能用笑容

Only with a smile

期待著雨過天晴的彩虹

Looking forward to the rainbow after the rain

聽著自己的心跳

Listening to my heartbeat

沒有規則地跳躍

Jumping without rules

我安靜地在思考

Quietly I reflect

並不想被誰打擾

Not wanting to be disturbed

我們曾緊緊擁抱

We once held tight in embrace

卻又輕易地放掉

Yet easily let go

那種感覺很微妙

That feeling is so subtle

該怎麼說才好

How should I express it

時間分割成對角

Time splits into a diagonal

停止你對我的好

Stop your kindness towards me

瓦解我們的依靠

Breaking down our reliance

在你離開之後的天空

In the sky after you leave

我像風箏尋一個夢

Like a kite searching for a dream

雨後的天空

The sky after the rain

是否有放晴後的面容

Is there a face after clearing up

我靜靜的望著天空

Quietly I watch the sky

試著尋找失落的感動

Trying to find lost emotions

只能用笑容

Only with a smile

期待著雨過天晴的彩虹

Looking forward to the rainbow after the rain

在你離開之後的天空

In the sky after you leave

我像風箏尋一個夢

Like a kite searching for a dream

雨後的天空

The sky after the rain

是否有放晴後的面容

Is there a face after clearing up

我靜靜的望著天空

Quietly I watch the sky

試著尋找失落的感動

Trying to find lost emotions

只能用笑容

Only with a smile

期待著雨過天晴的彩虹

Looking forward to the rainbow after the rain

在你離開之後的天空

In the sky after you leave
