有的人 Lyrics English Translation by Shelby Wang
Wang Xiaomin describes a relationship that lived in the space between friendship and romance. The poet notes how memories of a silly smile linger like clouds in a blue sky, even after things ended. She captures the song’s central theme by explaining how ‘some people can truly become your entire world’ (有的人能成为你的世界), appearing exactly when you need their gentle presence.
