[English]

It's not you, I wouldn't

Understand how vast the world is

That sea of lavender waves

Ripples in my memories

Feeling the temperature difference of the wind

And the impermanence of life

Alone on the azure coast

Watching the sunset you took me to see disappear

The stars that died in the sky still sparkle at night

Traveling through millions of years of light, by my side, hey-eh

Some warmth won't be forgotten

Just like love that’s gone, still shining in my heart

Leaving me irreplaceable—those crazy loves, hey-yeah-eh

Making my life more vibrant

...

The way you drive

Your guitar fingerings

The smell of your morning coffee

How much nostalgia have you left behind?

The stars that died in the sky still sparkle at night

Traveling through millions of years of light, by my side, hey-hey

Some warmth won't be forgotten

Just like love that’s gone, still shining in my heart

Leaving me irreplaceable—those crazy loves, yeah-hey-yeah

Making my life more vibrant

Ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo

Hoo-oh-oh-ho

Ooh-oh-oh-ho

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

The stars that died in the sky still sparkle at night

Traveling through millions of years of light, by my side, hey-yeah-yeah

Leaving behind a memory of the burning

Once beautiful love, just as beautiful as my image

No one can imagine I lost heaven, hey-yeah-yeah

But gained beautiful wings, ooh-ooh-hoo

...

[Chinese]

不是你我不會

懂世界有多大

那一片薰衣草的海浪

在回憶中餘波蕩樣

感受風的溫差

和人世的無常

一個人在蔚藍海岸上

送走你帶我看的夕陽

天上死去的星星 依舊在夜空閃亮

穿越千萬年的光 陪伴在我的身旁 hey-eh

有些溫度不會被遺忘

就像死去的愛情 依舊在心裏閃亮

留給我無可取代 那些愛的瘋狂 hey-yeah-eh

讓我的生命更輝煌

你開車的模樣

你吉他的指法

你每天清晨的咖啡香

有多少懷念被你留下?

天上死去的星星 依舊在夜空閃亮

穿越千萬年的光 陪伴在我的身旁 hey-hey

有些溫度不會被遺忘

就像死去的愛情 依舊在心裏閃亮

留給我無可取代 那些愛的瘋狂 yeah-hey-yeah

讓我的生命更輝煌

Ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo

Hoo-oh-oh-ho

Ooh-oh-oh-ho

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

天上死去的星星 依舊在夜空閃亮

穿越千萬年的光 陪伴在我的身旁 hey-yeah-yeah

為一場燃燒留個念想

曾經美好的感情 美好了我的模樣

任誰都無法想像 我失去了天堂 hey-yeah-yeah

卻得到美麗的翅膀 ooh-ooh-hoo
