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.
朋友好久不见
Friends, it's been a long time since we met,
今天我们是否靠得更近
Today, are we closer than before?
朋友好久不见
Friends, it's been a long time since we met.
任何感情没有聚散分离
Any feelings have no gathering or separation,
朋友好久不见
It's been so long, my friend,
今天我想彻底坦白自己
Today I want to be completely honest with myself,
朋友好久不见
It's been so long, my friend,
诉说想念就是我的话题
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
朋友好久不见
It's been a while, my friend
今天我们是否靠得更近
Are we closer today?
朋友好久不见
It's been a while, my friend
任何感情没有聚散分离
No feelings can escape the ebb and flow
朋友好久不见
It's been a while, my friend
今天我想彻底坦白自己
Today I want to fully confess myself
朋友好久不见
It's been a while, my friend
诉说想念就是我的话题
Speaking of longing is my theme
