[English]

Baby, you've gone far away

You've gone far away

Baby, you've gone far away

You've gone far away

And so, the tea just cooled off like that

And so, the sky just became bright like that

And so, you left just like that

And so, I finally woke up

And so, you and I became distant from then on

And so, the road forked from then on

And so, your face has become unfamiliar

Although I feel a little reluctant

But time can't stop

It can't stop. It won't stop

The world is always changing

You have changed, I have changed

The past is already gone

Since we can't go back, what's the point of worrying

So I tell myself not to cry

I won't cry, I can't cry

Take a step forward on the road ahead

Take one more step, and you'll find happiness

Growing up means learning to be alone, even if it’s a little lonely

Baby, you've gone far away

(So I think I should follow, boy)

When you've gone far away

(So maybe I’m about to go too, yeah, because)

Baby, you've gone far away

(I don't know, boy, I really don't know why, why)

That you've gone far away

(So, therefore, I am now so alone)

So I planted a flower all by myself

So I dreamed alone

So I bore the pain all by myself

And I laughed happily alone

Baby, you've gone far away

You've gone far away...

...

[Chinese]

Baby you've gone far away

You've gone far away

Baby you've gone far away

You've gone far away

於是茶就這樣冷了

於是天就這樣亮了

於是你就這樣離開了

於是我終於醒了

於是你我從此遠了

於是路從此分岔了

你的臉從此就陌生了

雖然我有一點不捨

可是時間不可能停下

不能停下 不會停下

世界一直在變幻著

你也變了 我也變了

過去都已經過去了

既然回不去了 我還在煩惱什麼

於是告訴自己不要哭

我不要哭 我不能哭

往前方的路走一步

再走一步 就會幸福

成長要學會獨處 雖然有一點孤獨

Baby you've gone far away

(Therefore I think I should follow, boy)

When you've gone far away

(Therefore maybe I'm about to go, yeah, because)

Baby you've gone far away

(I don't know boy, I don't really know why, why)

That you've gone far away

(Therefore, therefore I'm now so alone)

於是花一個人種了

於是夢一個人做了

於是痛一個人扛下了

快樂一個人笑著

Baby you've gone far away

You've gone far away ...
