[English]

The original has knots and wall carvings, the city is filled with longing and memories.

Who meets whom still hides old delicacies.

If I walk towards you for a lifetime, or kiss eternity in a moment.

Doubt buried the schemes in the ice age.

Transcending the colors of ten thousand years, the dawn of ten thousand years, never forget.

Following the touching stories, entering miracles, what luck to see you.

I just want to see you, in the future and the past, I only want to see you.

So beautiful it pierces consciousness, opening fate, surpassing life and death.

Afterward, ask me in the future, why was I born, to be with you.

Changing the weather and the land, the you I want to see, wishing to shout the same, thinking of you, Ha.

...

Time and space are parallel and intersecting, only then do happiness and sorrow meet.

Doubt in obsession is both great and humble.

Transcending soul and body, the vast universe, right or sorry.

Following the axis of the Earth, entering the heart, what luck to see you.

I just want to see you, in the future and the past, I only want to see you.

So beautiful it pierces consciousness, opening fate, surpassing life and death.

Afterward, ask me in the future, why was I born, to be with you.

Changing the weather and the land, the you I want to see, wishing to shout the same, thinking of you.

Every world fights for mystery.

Two worlds will play games.

In some world, I meet you again.

Some pair of eyes, some subway, some mobile phone.

Each has its own time misalignment.

Each has its own online and offline.

Some I love, some you.

Everyone will shout, thinking of you.

If love cannot fade away, it can be reborn, all love is you.

So beautiful it believes too much, losing gatherings, believing even more in immortality.

Afterward, ask me in the future, why was I born, to be with you.

Changing the weather and the land, the you I want to see, wishing to shout the same, thinking of you.

Every world fights for mystery.

Two worlds will play games.

In some world, I meet you again.

Some pair of eyes, some subway, some mobile phone.

Each has its own time misalignment.

Each has its own online and offline.

Some I love, some you.

Everyone will shout, thinking of you.

Every world fights for mystery.

Two worlds will play games.

In some world, I meet you again.

Some pair of eyes, some subway, some mobile phone.

Each has its own time misalignment.

Each has its own online and offline.

Some I love, some you.

Everyone will shout, thinking of you.

[Chinese]

原始有繩結和壁雕 城市在渴望與追憶

誰人遇見誰人 仍藏著舊細膩

如果我走向你一生 或吻著永恆如一剎

懷疑在冰河時 就葬下了心機

逾越 萬年月色 萬年晨曦 切勿記不起

沿著 動人事蹟 進入奇蹟 為見你 付出什麼運氣

想見你只想見你 未來過去 我只想見你

美麗到穿過意識 敞開宿命 要超過生死

過後到未來問我 為何而生 為與你一起

變天再換地 想見的你 願同樣吶喊 想起你 Ha

時空正平行和交叉 才偶遇快樂與哀傷

懷疑在執迷時 是偉大也謙卑

逾越 靈魂肉身 宇宙洪荒 對或對不起

沿著 地球軸心 進入內心 為見你 付出什麼運氣

想見你只想見你 未來過去 我只想見你

美麗到穿過意識 敞開宿命 要超過生死

過後到未來問我 為何而生 為與你一起

變天再換地 想見的你 願同樣吶喊 想起你

個個世界鬥神秘

兩個世界會遊戲

某個世界再遇你

某對眼 某地鐵 某個手機

各有各校錯時間

各有各上線下線

某個我愛某個你

全部會吶喊 想起你

要是愛未能逝去 就能重生 愛的都是你

美麗到相信太多 散失相聚 更相信不死

過後到未來問我 為何而生 為與你一起

變天再換地 想見的你 願同樣吶喊 想起你

個個世界鬥神秘

兩個世界會遊戲

某個世界再遇你

某對眼 某地鐵 某個手機

各有各校錯時間

各有各上線下線

某個我愛某個你

全部會吶喊 想起你

個個世界鬥神秘

兩個世界會遊戲

某個世界再遇你

某對眼 某地鐵 某個手機

各有各校錯時間

各有各上線下線

某個我愛某個你

全部會吶喊 想起你
