Verse 1 🎵
星空下有沒有地方 能停放我的悲傷
Xīngkōng xià yǒu méiyǒu dìfāng néng tíngfàng wǒ de bēishāng
Is there a place beneath the starry sky where I can put down my sorrow?
時間流淌 怎麼收藏 與你一起的時光
Shíjiān liútǎng zěnme shōucáng yǔ nǐ yīqǐ de shíguāng
As time flows by, how can I preserve the moments spent with you?
你的淚每一次落下 都經過我的心房
Nǐ de lèi měi yīcì luòxià dōu jīngguò wǒ de xīnfáng
Every time your tears fall, they pass through my heart.
忽然天空不再明亮 是你經過我的上方
Hūrán tiānkōng bù zài míngliàng shì nǐ jīngguò wǒ de shàngfāng
Suddenly the sky is no longer bright — was it because you passed above me?
伸出手 放在你臉上 不想忘記你的模樣
Shēn chū shǒu fàng zài nǐ liǎn shàng bù xiǎng wàngjì nǐ de múyàng
I reach out and touch your face, unwilling to forget how you looked.
黑夜無情 孤獨仰望 親愛的你是那最遠的星嗎
Hēiyè wúqíng gūdú yǎngwàng qīn’ài de nǐ shì nà zuì yuǎn de xīng ma
The night is merciless as I gaze up in loneliness—
my love, are you the farthest star in the sky?

前方的路崎嶇漫長 為尋找你出現
Qiánfāng de lù qíqū màncháng wèi xúnzhǎo nǐ chūxiàn
The road ahead is rough and long, but I walk it just to find you appear.
為你抹去流下的眼淚 卻抹不去悲傷
Wèi nǐ mǒqù liú xià de yǎnlèi què mǒ bù qù bēishāng
I can wipe away your falling tears, but not the sorrow they leave behind.
你總出現在我夢裡 無論醒在哪裡
Nǐ zǒng chūxiàn zài wǒ mèng lǐ wúlùn xǐng zài nǎlǐ
You always appear in my dreams, no matter where I wake.
我會將你永遠珍藏 在心中最明亮的地方
Wǒ huì jiāng nǐ yǒngyuǎn zhēncáng zài xīnzhōng zuì míngliàng de dìfāng
I will treasure you forever in the brightest place in my heart.
哪裡是你永遠的擁抱
Nǎlǐ shì nǐ yǒngyuǎn de yǒngbào
Where is your eternal embrace?

愛很痛嗎 如果只是夢 怎會有如此的痛
Ài hěn tòng ma rúguǒ zhǐshì mèng zěn huì yǒu rúcǐ de tòng
Does love hurt this much? If it’s just a dream, how can it be so painful?
忽然天空不再明亮 難道是給我的獎賞
Hūrán tiānkōng bù zài míngliàng nándào shì gěi wǒ de jiǎngshǎng
The sky suddenly darkens — is that supposed to be my reward?
伸出手 放在你臉上 不想忘記你的模樣
Shēn chū shǒu fàng zài nǐ liǎn shàng bù xiǎng wàngjì nǐ de múyàng
I reach out and place my hand on your face, not wanting to forget how you looked.
黑夜無情 孤獨仰望 親愛的你是那最遠的星嗎
Hēiyè wúqíng gūdú yǎngwàng qīn’ài de nǐ shì nà zuì yuǎn de xīng ma
The night is cruel, and I gaze up alone —
my love, are you that faraway star?
