[English]

If you ever forget me

Let the wind be my proxy

I write this love song for you, to walk with you

...

When clouds turn to grey hounds

Looking back on our story, is there a lot?

Counting our blessings, are they enough?

Do we still dream the dreams we once chased?

At the crossroads of fate

You were slowly led towards me

Allowing me to love you so deeply

I finally learned to persevere, even if clumsy

If you remember me

You and I, we once walked

Having you in this life, I ask for nothing more

If you ever forget me

Let the wind be my proxy

I write this love song for you, to walk with you

...

Like heaven and earth with a mayfly

So small, you and I

In this world's ever-changing variations

I just want to give you tenderness in every moment

What kind of karma is it?

A thousand times we missed each other in past lives

Exchanged for one glance in this life

Finally, in this life, I once had you, sharing hardships together

If you remember me

You and I, we once walked

Having you in this life, I ask for nothing more

If you ever forget me

Let the wind be my proxy

I write this love song for you, to walk with you

...

If you remember me

You and I, we once walked

Having you in this life, I ask for nothing more

If you ever forget me

Let the wind be my proxy

I write this love song for you, to walk with you

Walking with you through the sunrise, starry sky, forever and always

...

Walk with you

...

[Chinese]

如果你 忘了我

就讓風 代替我

為你寫下這首情歌 陪著你走

當白雲變蒼狗

回望故事 多不多

細數收穫 夠不夠

曾追求的夢 還夢不夢

當命運的路口

帶你緩緩走向我

讓我深深的愛過

才終於學會 即使笨拙 也要執著

如果你 記得我

你和我 曾走過

走過擁有你的此生 別無所求

如果你 忘了我

就讓風 代替我

為你寫下這首情歌 陪著你走

如天地與蜉蝣

如此渺小的你我

人間無常的變奏

只想每一刻 給你溫柔

又是什麼因果

前世千次的錯過

換來一刻的回眸

終於讓此生 曾經有你 患難與共

如果你 記得我

你和我 曾走過

走過擁有你的此生 別無所求

如果你 忘了我

就讓風 代替我

為你寫下這首情歌 陪著你走

如果你 記得我

你和我 曾走過

走過擁有你的此生 別無所求

如果你 忘了我

就讓風 代替我

為你寫下這首情歌 陪著你走

陪你走過朝霞星空 天長地久

陪著你走
