[English]

I hope all the wishes I've made will blossom along the way

Guarding those dreams, helping them withstand the wind and sand

Cherry blossoms on my fingertips, like a poem, writing of whose youthful prime?

Wild passion, yet carrying a touch of elegance

The sunset glow over the sea, like a painting from my youth

Spread across the sky, waiting for seagulls to carry it away

Distant sails enduring the beating of wind and waves

For the sake of dreams, no matter the pain, I won't be afraid

The distant wind and sand, to whose far horizon do they travel?

Has spring ever seen him anywhere?

The hand of time has caressed our cheeks

They all remain silent, not speaking

I hope all the wishes I've made will blossom along the way

Guarding those dreams, helping them withstand the wind and sand

Cherry blossoms on my fingertips, like a poem, writing of whose youthful prime?

Wild passion, yet carrying a touch of elegance

I hope all the wishes I've made will blossom along the way

Hiding the person caught in the rain beneath the eaves

Years wash away the clamor of life's changes, flowing against the current

On this quiet night, who are you thinking of?

The distant wind and sand, to whose far horizon do they travel?

Has spring ever seen him anywhere?

The hand of time has caressed our cheeks

They all remain silent, not speaking

I hope all the wishes I've made will blossom along the way

Guarding those dreams, helping them withstand the wind and sand

Cherry blossoms on my fingertips, like a poem, writing of whose youthful prime?

Wild passion, yet carrying a touch of elegance

I hope all the wishes I've made will blossom along the way

Hiding the person caught in the rain beneath the eaves

Years wash away the clamor of life's changes, flowing against the current

On this quiet night, who are you thinking of?

On this quiet night, who are you thinking of?

[Chinese]

我希望许过的愿望一路生花

护送那时的梦抵挡过风沙

指尖的樱花如诗写谁的韶华

疯狂的热爱夹带着文雅

海上的晚霞像年少的画

铺在天空等海鸥衔走它

遥远的帆任风浪拍打

为梦再痛也不会害怕

远走的风沙去谁的天涯

春天可曾在哪里见过他

时间的手抚过了脸颊

他们谁都沉默不说话

我希望许过的愿望一路生花

护送那时的梦抵挡过风沙

指尖的樱花如诗写谁的韶华

疯狂的热爱夹带着文雅

我希望许过的愿望一路生花

将那雨中的人藏在屋檐下

岁月在冲刷逆流沧桑的喧哗

安静的夜晚你在想谁吗

远走的风沙去谁的天涯

春天可曾在哪里见过他

时间的手抚过了脸颊

他们谁都沉默不说话

我希望许过的愿望一路生花

护送那时的梦抵挡过风沙

指尖的樱花如诗写谁的韶华

疯狂的热爱夹带着文雅

我希望许过的愿望一路生花

将那雨中的人藏在屋檐下

岁月在冲刷逆流沧桑的喧哗

安静的夜晚你在想谁吗

安静的夜晚你在想谁吗
