[English]

The sky is about to lighten in the blink of an eye

Yet I still toss and turn restlessly

Could it be that I’m not as

happy

as I imagined?

Without time to hit the brakes,

I rushed here in a hurry.

Along the way, twists and turns,

bumps and bruises I’ve forgotten.

I don’t know how much farther

this body can go.

If I only have tonight left,

what can I leave behind?

Even if I’m just your temporary choice,

a passerby in your youth,

I’ve had moments of true emotion—

deeper than anyone else’s.

Maybe you’ll never understand

how unique you are to me.

Only you are real.

Thinking of you, I wrote this song,

borrowing your joy and anger,

adding my sorrow and happiness.

I keep singing, singing...

I’m the night sky, you’re the galaxy—

finally complete when you harmonize with me.

No matter the bitterness, I’ll manage to smile.

We all know this body

will one day wither away.

While I still have tonight,

I want to say it loudly:

Even if I’m just your temporary choice,

a passerby in your youth,

I’ve had moments of true emotion—

deeper than anyone else’s.

Maybe you’ll never understand

how unique you are to me.

Only you are real.

Thinking of you, I wrote this song,

borrowing your joy and anger,

adding my sorrow and happiness.

I keep singing, singing...

Your story

soothes my sorrow and joy.

Outside the window, the sky

has brightened.

[Chinese]

轉眼天要亮了

我還輾轉反側

會不會其實我

沒想像中

快樂

來不及踩剎車

就匆匆來到這

一路上曲折

顛簸也忘了

不曉得這身軀殼

還能走多遠呢

如果我只剩今夜

我能留下什麼

就算我只是你的一時間的選擇

青春裡的過客

有過感動的片刻

我比誰都深刻

可能你永遠不懂得

你對我多獨特

唯有你才是真的

我想著你寫下了這首歌

偷你的喜怒

加上我的哀樂

一直唱著唱著

我是夜空你是銀河

終於完整了當有你來唱和

再多苦澀我有把握笑著

都曉得這身軀殼

一切終將乾涸

趁著我還有今夜

我想大聲的說

就算我只是你的一時間的選擇

青春裡的過客

有過感動的片刻

我比誰都深刻

可能你永遠不懂得

你對我多獨特

唯有你才是真的

我想著你寫下了這首歌

偷你的喜怒

加上我的哀樂

一直唱著唱著

有你的故事

安撫我的哀樂

窗外天色

亮了
