[English]

Dragonflies rest on the bamboo fence

Tiny forests inside glass jars

Youthful green, so vivid and fresh

Light and shadow reflected through the blinds

Like a face with secrets held inside

And you, looking down at a letter, Wondering about me

Moss in the mirror, wind chimes under the eaves, Swinging from the past

Memories are like scenes we can't cut apart. Love stays forever young

And I hear the sound of rain

Remember how you whispered, saying love

Happiness can be so quiet too

I've always been so careful with my giving

Finally, I hear the sound of rain

And suddenly my world is awakened

Fearful that tears will fill my eyes

Those unwilling tears, transparent on both our faces

...

Love passes by, fate keeps flowing, who's worried

Raindrops falling on the windowsill, softly tapping on heartbreaks, beautiful and haunting

...

And I hear the sound of rain

Remember how you whispered, saying love

In those passionate moments, so reckless

Giving our promises without hesitation

Finally, I hear the sound of rain

And my world is awakened again

Realizing you're always close by

Silently standing by my side, with unwavering resolve

...

[Chinese]

竹籬上 停留著 蜻蜓

玻璃瓶裡插滿 小小 森林

青春 嫩綠的很 鮮明

百葉窗 折射的 光影

像有著心事的 一張 表情

而你 低頭拆信 想知道關於我的事情

青苔入鏡 簷下風鈴 搖晃曾經

回憶是 一行行無從 剪接的風景 愛始終年輕

而我聽見 下雨的聲音

想起你用唇語 說愛情

幸福也可以 很安靜

我付出一直 很小心

終於聽見 下雨的聲音

於是我的世界 被吵醒

就怕情緒紅 了眼睛

不捨的淚在 彼此的 臉上透明

愛在過境 緣份不停 誰在擔心

窗台上 滴落的雨滴 輕敲著傷心 淒美而動聽

而我聽見 下雨的聲音

想起你用唇語 說愛情

熱戀的時刻 最任性

不顧一切的 給約定

終於聽見 下雨的聲音

於是我的世界 被吵醒

發現你始終 很靠近

默默的陪在 我身邊 態度堅定
