只是因为在人群中多看了你一眼
Just because I caught a glimpse of you in the crowd,
再也没能忘掉你容颜
I can never forget your face.
梦想著偶然能有一天再相见
Dreaming of a day we might meet again by chance,
从此我开始孤单思念
From then on, I began to miss you in solitude.
想你时你在天边
When I think of you, you're far away in the sky;
想你时你在眼前
When I think of you, you're right here before my eyes;
想你时你在脑海
When I think of you, you're in my mind's eye;
想你时你在心田
When I think of you, you're deep in my heart.
宁愿相信我们前世有约
I'd rather believe we have a bond from our past lives,
今生的爱情故事不会再改变
This lifetime's love story will never change.
宁愿用这一生等你发现
I'd rather spend this life waiting for you to notice me
我一直在你身旁 从未走远
I've always been by your side, never strayed far
只是因为在人群中多看了你一眼
It's just because I caught a glimpse of you in the crowd
再也没能忘掉你容颜
I've never been able to forget your face
梦想著偶然能有一天再相见
Dreaming that one day we might meet again by chance
从此我开始孤单思念
Since then, I've started to miss you in solitude
想你时你在天边
When I think of you, you're far away in the sky
想你时你在眼前
When I think of you, you're right here before my eyes
想你时你在脑海
When I think of you, you're in my mind's eye
想你时你在心田
When I think of you, you're deep in my heart
宁愿相信我们前世有约
I'd rather believe we made a pact in our past lives
今生的爱情故事不会再改变
This lifetime's love story will never change again
宁愿用这一生等你发现
I'd rather spend this life waiting for you to notice
我一直在你身旁 从未走远
I've always been by your side, never strayed far away
宁愿相信我们前世有约
I'd rather believe we made a pact in our past lives
今生的爱情故事不会再改变
This lifetime's love story will never change again
宁愿用这一生等你发现
I'd rather spend this life waiting for you to notice
我一直在你身旁 从未走远
I've always been by your side, never strayed far away
只是因为在人群中多看了你一眼
It's just because I caught a glimpse of you in the crowd
