[English]

I hear the raindrops falling on the green grass

I hear the distant school bell ringing

But I didn't hear your voice

Seriously calling my name

When I fell in love with you, I didn't understand feelings

Only after parting did I realize it was heart-wrenching

Why didn't I notice that I met you

It was the best thing in life

Maybe at that time I was busy smiling and crying

Busy chasing the shooting stars in the sky

People naturally forget

Who is it that silently guards the place in the wind and rain

It turns out you are the luck I want to hold onto the most

It turns out we were once so close to love

That decision to fight against the world for me

That rain you accompanied me in

Every scene is you

A heart that is pure and untainted

Meeting you, how lucky

But I have lost the right to cry for you

I hope in the horizon I can't see

You spread your wings

The destiny of meeting you

How lucky she will be

...

Youth is a bumpy journey

With the beauty of hindsight

Too late to thank you for giving me courage

To let me be myself again

Maybe at that time I was busy smiling and crying

Busy chasing the shooting stars in the sky

People naturally forget

Who is it that silently guards the place in the wind and rain

It turns out you are the luck I want to hold onto the most

It turns out we were once so close to love

That decision to fight against the world for me

That rain you accompanied me in

Every scene is you

A heart that is pure and untainted

Meeting you, how lucky

But I have lost the right to cry for you

I hope in the horizon I can't see

You spread your wings

The destiny of meeting you

...

How lucky she will 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

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
