[English]

In the silent, vast night sky, starlight twinkles.

Cupping a wisp of light in my hand, treating it as neon.

Letting my heart feel empty, a void that can't be filled.

Tears still can't help but fall.

Crossing through a sea of people to search for your trace.

In this world, there's no one else to accompany me.

Saying they empathize, yet never embracing.

Decisively turning away, never looking back.

In this world, among this sea of people,

Ultimately, I can't meet you.

Nor can I commit myself, only to face separation.

If we could meet again,

I definitely won't search tirelessly again.

How much of a lifetime can truly be wasted?

Crossing through a sea of people to search for your trace.

Saying they empathize, yet never embracing.

Decisively turning away, never looking back.

In this world, among this sea of people,

Ultimately, I can't meet you.

Nor can I commit myself, only to face separation.

If we could meet again,

I definitely won't search tirelessly again.

How much of a lifetime can truly be wasted?

If we could meet again,

I definitely won't search tirelessly again.
