想你時風起 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

If parting is just to be able to meet again

If parting is just to be able to meet again

Love is a parabola that follows longing

Leaving this world, moving farther and farther, we always just brush past each other

If this goodbye is the last time we meet

It’s also a dividing line after sleepless nights

Spring has already begun to lose its leaves; even July can bring snow

Spring has already begun to lose its leaves

Spring has already begun to lose its leaves

Even July can bring snow

The sudden downpour I just missed, the summer I can’t hold onto

Is the drifting cloud you? Circling again and again

I wish I were the wind that passes by you

I can’t help but fall back into your eyes

Why can’t we get past this overwhelming summer?

Let the wind reach some distant places for us

The words I didn’t have the courage to finish

I hope someone has heard them

If this goodbye is the last time we meet

It’s also a dividing line after sleepless nights

Spring has already begun to lose its leaves; even July can bring snow

The sudden downpour I just missed, the summer I can’t hold onto

Is the drifting cloud you? Circling again and again

I wish I were the wind that passes by you

I can’t help but fall back into your eyes

Why can’t we get past this overwhelming summer?

Let the wind reach some distant places for us

The words I didn’t have the courage to finish

I hope someone has heard them

Let you hear the wind gently swaying

Time rolls up memories, slowly dancing

Let the wind speak for me, saying that farewell

In this season where fallen leaves are like snow

The sudden downpour I just missed, the summer I can’t hold onto

Is the drifting cloud you? Circling again and again

I wish I were the wind that passes by you

I can’t help but fall back into your eyes

Why can’t we get past this overwhelming summer?

Let the wind reach some distant places for us

The words I didn’t have the courage to finish

I hope someone has heard them

[Chinese]

如果離別是為了能再見一面

如果離別是為了能再見一面

愛是想念後的拋物線

離開世界 斯行斯遠 和我們總是擦肩

這次再見如果是最後的一面

也是失眠後的分隔線

春天已開始落葉 七月裡也會下雪

春天已開始落葉 七月裡也會下雪

春天已開始落葉

七月裡也會下雪

剛剛我錯過的大雨 握不住的盛夏

飄過的雲是你嗎 一圈又一圈

我多想是路過你的風

忍不住落回你眼中

憑什麼繞不開 翻不過的盛夏

有些遠方 讓風代替我們抵達

沒勇氣說完的那句話

希望有人聽過它

這次再見如果是最後的一面

也是失眠後的分隔線

春天已開始落葉 七月裡也會下雪

剛剛我錯過的大雨 握不住的盛夏

飄過的雲是你嗎 一圈又一圈

我多想是路過你的風

忍不住落回你眼中

憑什麼繞不開 翻不過的盛夏

有些遠方 讓風代替我們抵達

沒勇氣說完的那句話

希望有人聽過它

讓你聽見風緩緩地 緩緩搖曳

時光捲起了回憶慢慢翩翩

讓風替我說 說那句告別

在這個落葉像雪的季節

剛剛我錯過的大雨 握不住的盛夏

飄過的雲是你嗎 一圈又一圈

我多想是路過你的風

忍不住落回你眼中

憑什麼繞不開 翻不過的盛夏

有些遠方 讓風代替我們抵達

沒勇氣說完的那句話

希望有人聽過它
