[English]

Just want to touch your gaze, softly humming melodies near your ear

That intimate embrace in my memories still lingers

That great promise we made—will it really come true someday?

Repeating that old memory with you, hoping I can hear it again

I regret not holding you tight enough; the time has come where I can't have you

I know I should let go, but I can't bear to see you leave

I promised I would do it; I hope you can see even from afar

Don't worry, I believe I’ll be fine

From now on, I’ll try to be a better person, patiently waiting until

That moment at the finish line, to hold you once again

...

I long to wipe away your tears, enduring all the pain silently

Time always sneaks past, difficult to fight against misfortune

Why does fate play such cruel tricks? Even cruelty shouldn’t go too far

Years have stolen away memories, yet I still find hope in them

I regret not holding you tight enough; the time has come where I can't have you

I know I should let go, but I can't bear to see you leave

I promised I would do it; I hope you can see even from afar

Don't worry, I believe I’ll be fine

From now on, I’ll try to be a better person, patiently waiting until

That moment at the finish line, to hold you once again

This life feels like fleeting clouds, not many bright mornings

Always cherish your loved ones, love with all your strength

Seize the best moments of life, let yourself go completely

When I walk toward you in the future, at least I won’t have lived in vain

I regret not holding you tight enough; the time has come where I can't have you anymore

I know I should let go, but I can't bear to see you leave

I promised I would do it; I hope you can see even from afar

Don't worry, I believe I’ll be fine

From now on, I’ll try to be a better person, patiently waiting until

That moment at the finish line, to hold you once again

...

[Chinese]

只想觸碰你那視線 旋律輕輕哼你耳邊

回憶中的親暱擁抱 還在湧現

談好的那偉大諾言 難保他朝可會兑現

重述當天跟你 那舊記憶 望能及聽見

我 遺憾抱緊你未夠 時候到了不可擁有

我也知要鬆手 卻捨不得你走

我 承諾過的會做到 望你遠方都看得到

不必擔心 我定能安好

從今以後努力做人 耐心等到

終點的那刻 再擁抱

多麼想擦去你淚印 難堪都必須要強忍

時光總偷偷的閃過 難敵厄運

何解天意這樣弄人 殘忍都不應太過份

年月給偷走了 每段記憶 亦仍舊振奮

我 遺憾抱緊你未夠 時候到了不可擁有

我也知要鬆手 卻捨不得你走

我 承諾過的會做到 望你遠方都看得到

不必擔心 我定能安好

從今以後努力做人 耐心等到

終點的那刻 再擁抱

這一生恍如浮雲 不多好時晨

永遠記緊珍惜至親 用盡力愛着人

抓緊一生的良辰 賣力地放任

來日當我向着你前行 起碼我沒白過此生

我 遺憾抱緊你未夠 時候到了不可再擁有

我也知要鬆手 卻捨不得你走

我 承諾過的會做到 望你遠方都看得到

不必擔心 我定能安好

從今以後努力做人 耐心等到

終點的那刻 再擁抱
