[English]

The dust in Dunhuang's sky

Carrying our memories

I look back from halfway

This love is winding and so long

Dreams cross the Western Regions

Holding so much Zen in them

Love is like a travel journal

I'll seek out its mystery

Watch the tears under Crescent Bay

Forgotten on the Silk Road

Whose heart is this, left so lonely?

Is he alright? I want to love him so much

With everlasting tears, a frozen word

Maybe it will evaporate someday

Whose love is this, stronger than tears?

Softly calling out, just let me melt

Every raindrop turns into my wings

Chasing after the one I love

...

With everlasting tears, a frozen word

Maybe it will evaporate someday

[Chinese]

敦煌天空的沙礫

帶著我們的記憶

我從半路看回去

這情關漫漫好彎曲

夢想穿過了西域

包含了多少的禪意

愛情像一本遊記

我會找尋它的謎語

看 月牙灣下的淚光

在絲路之上被遺忘

是誰的心啊 孤單的留下

他還好嗎 我多想愛他

拿永恆的淚 凝固的一句話

也許可能蒸發

是誰的愛啊 比淚水堅強

輕聲呼喚 就讓我融化

每一滴雨水 演化成我翅膀

向著我愛的人 追吧

夢想穿過了西域

包含了多少的禪意

愛情像一本遊記

我會找尋它的謎語

看 月牙灣下的淚光

在絲路之上被遺忘

是誰的心啊 孤單的留下

他還好嗎 我多想愛他

拿永恆的淚 凝固的一句話

也許可能蒸發

是誰的愛啊 比淚水堅強

輕聲呼喚 就讓我融化

每一滴雨水 演化成我翅膀

向著我愛的人 追吧

是誰的心啊 孤單的留下

他還好嗎 我多想愛他

拿永恆的淚 凝固的一句話

也許可能蒸發

是誰的愛啊 比淚水堅強

輕聲呼喚 就讓我融化

每一滴雨水 演化成我翅膀

向著我愛的人 追吧
