[English]

The sunset over the sea is like a painting from my youth.

Spreading across the sky, waiting for seagulls to carry it away.

The distant sail endures the wind and waves.

Even if the dream hurts again, I won't be afraid.

Where do the drifting sands go, to whose distant shores?

Have you ever seen him somewhere in spring?

Time's hand has brushed across my cheek.

They all fall silent, saying nothing.

I hope the wishes I've made will bloom along the way.

Guide that dream through wind and sand.

The cherry blossoms at the tips of my fingers, like poetry, tell of someone's youth.

Wild love, wrapped in elegance.

I hope the wishes I've made will bloom along the way.

Hide the person in the rain under the eaves.

Time washes away the clamor of the changing world.

In the quiet night, who are you thinking of?

Where do the drifting sands go, to whose distant shores?

Have you ever seen him anywhere in spring?

Time's hand has brushed across my cheek.

They all fall silent, saying nothing.

I hope the wishes I've made will bloom along the way.

Hide the person in the rain under the eaves.

Time washes away the clamor of the changing world.

On quiet nights, who are you thinking of?

Bloom along the way—bloom along the way—

Braved the winds and sands.

Ahhh...

I hope the wishes I've made will bloom along the way.

Guide that dream through wind and sand.

The cherry blossoms at the tips of my fingers, like poetry, tell of someone's youth.

Wild love, wrapped in elegance.

I hope the wishes I've made will bloom along the way.

Hide the person in the rain under the eaves.

Time washes away the clamor of the changing world.

In the quiet night, who are you thinking of?

In the quiet night, who are you thinking of?

[Chinese]

海上的晚霞像年少的畫

鋪在天空等海鷗銜走它

遙遠的帆任風浪拍打

為夢再痛也不會害怕

遠走的風沙去誰的天涯

春天可曾在哪裡見過他

時間的手撫過了臉頰

他們誰都沉默不說話

我希望許過的願望一路生花

護送那時的夢抵擋過風沙

指尖的櫻花如詩寫誰的韶華

瘋狂的熱愛夾帶著文雅

我希望許過的願望一路生花

將那雨中的人藏在屋簷下

歲月在沖刷逆流滄桑的喧嘩

安靜的夜晚你在想誰嗎

遠走的風沙去誰的天涯

春天可曾在哪裡見過他

時間的手撫過了臉頰

他們誰都沉默不說話

我希望許過的願望一路生花

將那雨中的人藏在屋簷下

歲月在沖刷逆流滄桑的喧嘩

安靜的夜晚你在想誰嗎

一路生花～一路生花～

擋過風沙～擋過風沙～

啊～～～

我希望許過的願望一路生花

護送那時的夢抵擋過風沙

指尖的櫻花如詩寫誰的韶華

瘋狂的熱愛夾帶著文雅

我希望許過的願望一路生花

將那雨中的人藏在屋簷下

歲月在沖刷逆流滄桑的喧嘩

安靜的夜晚你在想誰嗎

安靜的夜晚你在想誰嗎
