[English]

The clouds on the horizon stretch endlessly

Looking down at those gazing eyes

Time is still traveling far away

Leaving behind whose footprints

It's not just the courage to yearn

Destined never to get close

Loving you as a secret to keep

Afraid to disturb and cause you to leave

Endless

How I wish I could dive beneath the sea

To rest gently

To soothe the reason in your heart

If all things in the world could cross barriers and love

They could also fulfill the cloud and the sea

Forgetting how far and dangerous the shore is

Can't be seen at all

If the ends of the earth never parted and hardship was easy to bear

Humankind would eventually stay together

Don't forget their love that cannot be

...

[Vietnamese]

天邊的雲一望無際

俯瞰那雙眺望的眼睛

時間還在遠行

留下誰的腳印

不只是貪戀的勇氣

命中註定不能靠近

愛你的事當做祕密

怕驚擾你從此遠離

無窮盡

多想能夠潛入海底

溫柔的棲息

是撫平 你心口的原因

如果世間萬物能跨越能相愛

也能成全雲與海

忘了離岸多遠多危險

都看不見

如果海角天涯不分開不難捱

人類終會廝守

別忘了 它們的愛而 不得

命中註定不能靠近

愛你的事當做祕密

怕驚擾你從此遠離

無窮盡

多想能夠潛入海底

溫柔的棲息

是撫平 你心口的原因

如果世間萬物能跨越能相愛

也能成全雲與海

忘了離岸多遠多危險

都看不見

如果海角天涯不分開不難捱

人類終會廝守

別忘了 它們的愛而 不得

如果世間萬物能跨越能相愛

也能成全雲與海

忘了離岸多遠多危險

都看不見

如果海角天涯不分開不難捱

人類終會廝守

別忘了 它們的愛而 不得
