[English]

I just happened to meet you

We cried

We smile

We look up at the sky

A few stars are still shining

We sing

the song of time

Only then did we learn to embrace each other

What is it all for?

Because I was lucky to meet you

Leaving footprints makes it beautiful

The wind blows, petals fall, tears rain down

Because

Not to separate

Because it's better that we met

Leaving a ten‑year hope

If we meet again

I think I will remember you

We cried

We smile

We look up at the sky

A few stars are still shining

We sing

the song of time

Only then did we learn to embrace each other

What is it all for?

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving footprints makes it beautiful

The wind blows, petals fall, tears rain down

Because

Don’t want to separate

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving a ten‑year promise

If we meet again

I think I will remember you

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving footprints makes it beautiful

The wind blows, petals fall, tears rain down

Because

Not to be separated

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving a ten‑year promise

If we meet again

I think I will remember you

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving footprints makes it beautiful

The wind blows, petals fall, tears rain down

Because

Don’t want to separate

Because I just happened to meet you

Leaving a ten‑year promise

If we meet again

I think I will remember you

If we meet again

I think I will remember you

[Chinese]

刚好遇见你

我们哭了

我们笑着

我们抬头望天空

星星还亮着几颗

我们唱着

时间的歌

才懂得相互拥抱

到底是为了什么

因为我更好遇见你

留下足迹才美丽

风吹花落泪如雨

因为

不下分离

因为更好遇见

留下十年的期许

如果再相遇

我想我会记得你
