[English]

Tracks and streetlights are waiting for someone

Growing older through years and history

How the sandcastle fortress was shattered the day before yesterday

The kite broke — only then does the wind stop blowing

Temples and mailboxes are waiting for reunion

Canton tunes and the erhu, waiting for the next line

You didn’t hold onto certain feelings in your body

Only letting those memories sleep, I cherish them inside me

That day we traveled the land, planning to revisit the old places

But you left without saying goodbye, leaving regrets in my fate, still I remember

Traveling alone to the old town, old memories accompanying life and death

Changing scenery but still hoping to see the sunset with you, so beautiful

...

Sweat, roots of hair, or fingerprints

Uneven stains from the old home and streets that remain

Even if unseen, we were once so close

The passing years teach us to carve memories deep in our hearts

Maybe digging the sea is to make up for regrets

Or moving mountains is to protect me

I am still your person, yet I also feel sorrow

Destined by heaven, our love persists through life

That day we traveled the land, planning to revisit the old places

But you left without saying goodbye, leaving regrets in my fate, still I remember

Traveling alone to the old town, old memories accompanying life and death

Changing scenery but still hoping to see the sunset with you, so tragic

...

Grateful that love has strengthened me, I hand my heart to you

It can pass over the sky, the shores, the earth

Breaking boundaries, crossing life and death

Travel across this glamorous land, if only we could revisit the old places

If heaven can fulfill our wishes and change the ending, we’ll still be together

Traveling alone to the old town, old memories accompanying life and death

With a lifetime of feelings, I continue to cherish and remember the you in my memories

Thinking of you anew each day, love spanning the centuries

...

[Chinese]

路軌 路燈 在等誰

從年月中從歷史中大了幾歲

沙礫堡壘在前天怎樣粉碎

風箏斷了 才叫風不再吹

寺廟 郵筒 在等誰團聚

粵曲 二胡 未等到下句

你沒留住某些感覺在你身軀

只有任那記憶沉睡 我在懷念內寄居

在那天同遊大地 預約好重遊舊地

但你不辭而別留下命裡缺憾 仍想起

一人遊舊地 舊記憶陪同生死

換了風景依然盼望能共你 看夕陽多麼美

汗水 髮根 或指紋

殘留舊居和大街中未褪的印

即使不見亦曾經這樣親近

歲月年華 學會刻骨銘心

或者 填海 是補償遺憾

或者 移山 是給我護蔭

我仍然是你的不過亦會傷感

天註定你我的緣份 愛就維繫著這生

在那天同遊大地 預約好重遊舊地

但你不辭而別留下命裡缺憾 仍想起

一人遊舊地 舊記憶陪同生死

換了風景依然盼望能共你 看夕陽多淒美

感慨煉成大愛把心交給你

可以掠過 上空 岸邊 大地

為衝破界限像逾越生死

踏遍這浮華大地 若再可同遊舊地

若老天能成全人願換個結局 仍一起

一人遊舊地 舊記憶陪同生死

用我一生感情繼續懷念緊記 已在回憶的你

每日重新想你 愛在橫跨世紀
