The narrator mentions rain replaying a blurred name, a line that shows how love lingers even in separation. Song Qian crafts a story of promises swept away by the wind, leaving only fallen leaves and silence. Each verse talks about the pain of surrendering to distance.
Wo yi wei la shang chuang lianI thought by drawing the curtains shut,
Kan bu jianand shutting out the view,
Jiu neng fou ren ni chu xianI could deny you ever appeared,
Zhi dao xiang nian ning jie cheng hua mianuntil my longing condensed into a clear image.
Wo cai fa xian na shi guan yu ni de zuo tianI only then realized yesterday was all about you.
Shuo li kai jue bu jian mianSaying I’d leave and never see you again,
Na shi wo jin sheng de yi dian zun yanwas the last shred of dignity I had in this life,
Zhi dao shi jian jiang li zhi man man wa jieuntil time slowly crumbled my reason away.
Hui yi zhi shi qing qing yi pengMemories only needed the gentlest touch,
Xin tong jiu jiang wo si liefor the heartache to tear me completely apart.
Yu sheng zai chong bo ni mo hu de xing he mingThe sound of rain replays your blurred full name,
Xiang shi fang ying zhe wo men ai guo de ceng jingas if projecting the past where we once loved.
Feng xi juan le na nian qiu tian la guo gou de yue dingThe wind swept away the pinky promises we made that autumn,

Ren you si nian de fang xian zai qing ke jue diletting my defenses against missing you collapse in an instant.
Jie kou lu ren ge ben dong xi li bie ru ci ying jingUsing the excuse of strangers going separate ways, this parting fits the scene so perfectly.
