Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I hear the raindrops falling on the green grass

I hear the distant school bell ringing

But I never heard your voice

Seriously calling out my name

When I fell for you, I didn’t understand love

Only after parting did I feel it so deeply

Why didn’t I realize that meeting you

Was the best thing in life?

Maybe back then, I was too busy smiling and crying

Too busy chasing shooting stars in the sky

People naturally forget

Who stood silently guarding me through wind and rain

Turns out, you’re the luck I most want to keep

Turns out, we were once so close to love

That decision to face the world for me

That rain we shared together

Every moment is you, with a pure and true heart

Meeting you was such good luck

But I’ve lost the right to cry for you

I hope in the sky I can’t see

You’ve spread your wings

The one destined to meet you

How lucky she’ll be

...

Youth is a stumbling journey

With beauty we only understand later

I didn’t get to thank you for the courage you gave me

To let me be myself again

Maybe back then, I was too busy smiling and crying

Too busy chasing shooting stars in the sky

People naturally forget

Who stood silently guarding me through wind and rain

Turns out, you’re the luck I most want to keep

Turns out, we were once so close to love

That decision to face the world for me

He shared the rain with me

Every moment is you, with a pure and true heart

Meeting you was such good luck

But I’ve lost the right to cry for you

I hope in the sky I can’t see

You’ve spread your wings

The one destined to meet you

...

How lucky she’ll be

...

[Chinese]

我聽見雨滴落在青青草地

我聽見遠方下課鐘聲響起

可是我沒有聽見你的聲音

認真 呼喚我姓名

愛上你的時候還不懂感情

離別了才覺得刻骨 銘心

為什麼沒有發現遇見了你

是生命最好的事情

也許當時忙著微笑和哭泣

忙著追逐天空中的流星

人理所當然的忘記

是誰風裡雨裡一直默默守護在原地

原來你是我最想留住的幸運

原來我們和愛情曾經靠得那麼近

那為我對抗世界的決定

那陪我淋的雨

一幕幕都是你 一塵不染的真心

與你相遇 好幸運

可我已失去為你淚流滿面的權利

但願在我看不到的天際

你張開了雙翼

遇見你的注定

她會有多幸運

青春是段跌跌撞撞的旅行

擁有著後知後覺的美麗

來不及感謝是你給我勇氣

讓我能做回我自己

也許當時忙著微笑和哭泣

忙著追逐天空中的流星

人理所當然的忘記

是誰風裡雨裡一直默默守護在原地

原來你是我最想留住的幸運

原來我們和愛情曾經靠得那麼近

那為我對抗世界的決定

他陪我淋的雨

一幕幕都是你 一塵不染的真心

與你相遇 好幸運

可我已失去為你淚流滿面的權利

但願在我看不到的天際

你張開了雙翼

遇見你的注定

她會有多幸運
