早以为 我已完全被忘记
I once thought I had been completely forgotten,
妳却捎来消息 心里依稀想着我的样子
Yet you sent word, faintly picturing my face in your heart.
只因为 妳能呼唤我名字
Simply because you can call my name,
我要诚实表示 这个讯息令人狂喜不已
I must honestly say, this message fills me with joy.
我一直 期待再一次相逢的奇迹
I have always hoped for the miracle of meeting again.
重温错过的故事
To relive the stories we missed,
引爆我一生记载的际遇
Igniting the encounters recorded in my life.

Friends, it's been a long time since we met,

Today, are we closer than before?

It's been so long, my friend,

Talking about missing you is my topic of choice,
早以为 我已完全被忘记
Thought long ago I'd be fully forgotten,
妳却捎来消息 心里依稀想着我的样子
But you sent a message, and I faintly recall your face,
只因为 妳能呼唤我名字
Just because you can call my name,
我要诚实表示 这个讯息令人狂喜不已
I must honestly say, this news brings such joy,
我一直 期待再一次相逢的奇迹
I've always been hoping for the miracle of our reunion.
重温错过的故事
Relive the stories we've missed
引爆我一生记载的际遇
Ignite the encounters etched in my life
