夜空中最亮的星

[中文]

[English]

夜空中最亮的星 能否聽清

Can you hear the brightest star in the night sky?

那仰望的人 心底的孤獨和歎息

The longing person looks up, feeling loneliness and sighs deep inside.

夜空中最亮的星 能否記起

Can you remember the brightest star in the night sky?

曾與我同行 消失在風裡的身影

The shadow that once walked with me, now disappeared into the wind.

我祈禱擁有一顆透明的心靈

I pray for a pure heart that’s transparent and clear.

和會流淚的眼睛

And eyes that can also shed tears.

給我再去相信的勇氣

Give me the courage to believe again.

越過謊言去擁抱你

To embrace you beyond the lies.

每當我找不到存在的意義

Whenever I can’t find the meaning of my existence,

每當我迷失在黑夜裡

Whenever I get lost in the dark night,

夜空中最亮的星

The brightest star in the night sky,

請指引我靠近你

Please guide me to come closer to you.

...

...

夜空中最亮的星 是否知道

The brightest star in the night sky, do you know

曾與我同行的身影 如今在哪裡

Where the shadow that once walked with me is now?

夜空中最亮的星 是否在意

The brightest star in the night sky, do you care,

是等太陽升起 還是意外先來臨

Whether it’s waiting for the sunrise or an unexpected arrival?

我寧願所有痛苦都留在心裡

I’d rather keep all my pain inside my heart,

也不願忘記你的眼睛

Than forget your eyes.

給我再去相信的勇氣

Give me the courage to believe again.

越過謊言去擁抱你

To embrace you beyond the lies.

每當我找不到存在的意義

Whenever I can’t find the meaning of my existence,

每當我迷失在黑夜裡

Whenever I get lost in the dark night,

夜空中最亮的星 請照亮我前行

The brightest star in the night sky, light my way forward.

...

...

我祈禱擁有一顆透明的心靈

Give me the courage to believe again.

To embrace you beyond the lies.

每當我找不到存在的意義

Whenever I can’t find the meaning of my existence,

每當我迷失在黑夜裡

Whenever I get lost in the dark night,

夜空中最亮的星

The brightest star in the night sky,

請照亮我前行

Light my way forward.

夜空中最亮的星 能否聽清

那仰望的人 心底的孤獨和歎息

The longing person looks up, feeling loneliness and sighs deep inside.
