遠在眼前 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

凌晨有你在遠方的光源

Early morning you shine from afar

話似講不完 如初戀

Words seem endless, like our first love

約定再一次坐雪橇 看飄雪

Let’s ride the sleigh again, watch the snow fall

就算再凍的雪 也溫暖

Even the coldest snow feels warm

談情都只可隔著電腦 縱看到

Talking love through screens, though I see

比不上見面時候的美好

It’s still not as beautiful as being face to face

太想你沒有原因 翻開記憶重溫

Missing you without a reason, flipping through memories

想起初吻 甜言蜜語緩緩地靠近

Remember our first kiss, sweet words slowly close in

盼跟你度過餘生 幸福的婚姻

Hoping to spend my life with you, in a happy marriage

讓我想你沒理天光天暗

Thinking of you regardless of day or night

千里路遠都很近

A thousand miles feels so near

...

...

情人節晚在峽谷的邊緣

On Valentine’s night, on the canyon’s edge

熱燙的溫泉 仍依戀

Hot springs still full of longing

雨下我贈你的婚戒用心挑選

The wedding ring I carefully chose drops in the rain

在你答應一剎 雨中斷

As you say "yes," the rain suddenly stops

明年想欣賞哪座瀑布 哪個島

Next year, which waterfall or island do I want to see?

起一個帳幕同睡一被鋪

Set up a tent and sleep under one blanket

太想你沒有原因 翻開記憶重溫

Missing you without a reason, flipping through memories

想起初吻 甜言蜜語緩緩地靠近

Remember our first kiss, sweet words come closer

盼跟你度過餘生 幸福的婚姻

Hoping to spend my life with you, in happy marriage

讓我想你沒理天光天暗

Thinking of you regardless of day or night

千里萬里 同樣近

A thousand miles away, still so near

...

...

有天美夢會成真 即使要等來生

Someday, dreams will come true, even if it’s in the next life

都可跟你 同偕白髮 我願意等 為重聚一吻

I’ll be with you, growing old together, waiting for that reunite kiss

笑與淚同甘 願廝守終生

Joy and tears, happily shared, hoping to be lifelong companions

讓愛把 我共你之間牽引

Let love guide the connection between you and me

相隔越遠 靈魂越近

No matter how far apart, souls grow closer

終會遇上的足印

Footprints that we will surely find one day

...

...
