A Star Crossing NightA star-crossing night.
I Saw You In The SkyI saw you in the sky.
Sheng Ming De Cha QuYou’re a brief interlude in my life,
Duan Zan Er Xuan Lanboth short-lived and brilliant.
A Star Crossing Night So BrightA star-crossing night so bright.
I Saw You In The SkylineI saw you in the skyline.
Yi Ci You Yi CiOver and over again,
Qiao Qiao Li Wo Yuan Quyou’re quietly drifting away from me.
Mei You Fang Xiang De Zhong Zai Yuan DiA directionless clock stands still,
Shi Zhen San Man Bo Dong Zhe Di Da Diand the idle hands tick with a rhythm.
Zhong Bo Zhe Hui YiIt’s replaying every memory.
Pin Pin Hui Tou De Ren Zai Kang JuI keep looking back, even though I’m resisting.
Hei Ye De Lao Long Kun Wo Zai Yuan DiThe cage of the night traps me right here,
Zhe Li Mei You Niand you aren’t here.
Meng Yi Chang Meng Yi ChangIt’s just a dream, just a dream,
Shi Jian Shuo Le Huang Shuo Le Huangand time told a lie, it told a lie.
Wo Hai Ji De Di Yi Mian Jian Dao Ni Wo Xin Shi Zen Yang Bo DongI still remember how my heart raced the first time I saw you.
Wo Men Jian Xiang Mei You Dian Ran Yin Xian Que Pian Pian Yu Dao Huo ZhongWe were like an unlit fuse that somehow met a spark.
Every Time I See Your Face I Wanna Risk It AllEvery time I see your face, I want to risk it all.
Na Xie Huang Yan Gen Yan Huo Chan Rao Chu Xin De Hua Xue Zuo YongThose lies tangled with the fireworks to create a new chemistry.
Zuo Yong Zai Wo De Shen Shang Ye Bao Kuo Ni Zhou Wei Bian DiIt’s affecting me and everything around you too.
Ru Guo Wo Rang Miao Zhen Dao Zou Gao Su Wo Ni Hai Yuan Yi MaIf I made the clock run backward, tell me, would you still be willing?
Could You Tell Me The Reason Dang Shi Wo Zhao Bu Dao Yuan YinCould you tell me the reason? Back then, I couldn’t find one.
Xian Zai Wo Ming BaiBut now I understand.
Only Four Letters T-I-M-EIt’s only four letters: T-I-M-E.
Ji Yi Zai Sa Ye Ban You Zou Xiang Tan Chi She Yi Yang Tun Diao WoMemories wander wildly, swallowing me like the ‘Snake’ mobile game.
Zai Zhe Mei Ren De Cheng Bao Li Si Wu Ji Dan De Ben PaoI’m running recklessly through this empty castle.
Wo Ting Guo Zhong Bai Zai Rong Jie Qian Fa Chu Zui Hou De Zheng ChaoI heard the clock’s pendulum give one last argument before it melted.
Wo Ying Guo Wu Shu Ci Zhan Dou Zui Hou Que Dou Bei Ni Heng SaoI’ve won countless battles, but in the end, you swept me away.
