怎么去拥有一道彩虹？
How can I possess a rainbow?
怎么去拥抱一夏天的风？
How can I embrace the winds of summer?
天上的星星笑地上的人
The stars in the sky laugh at the people below.
总是不能懂 不能觉得足够
They never seem to understand, never feel enough.
如果我爱上你的笑容
If I fall for your smile,
要怎么收藏？要怎么拥有？
How can I cherish it? How can I own it?
如果你快乐不是为我
If your happiness isn't for me,
会不会放手 其实才是拥有
Could letting go actually be the true possession?
当一阵风吹来 风筝飞上天空
When a breeze blows through, the kite soars into the sky.
为了你而祈祷 而祝福 而感动
Praying, blessing, and feeling for you.
终于你身影消失在人海尽头
Finally, your silhouette fades into the end of the crowd
才发现 笑著哭最痛
Only then did I realize, smiling while crying is the truest pain
那天你和我 那个山丘
That day, you and I, on that hill
那样的唱著那一年的歌
Singing those songs from that year
那样的回忆 那么足够
Those memories, they were enough
足够我天天都品尝著寂寞
Enough for me to taste loneliness every day
当一阵风吹来 风筝飞上天空
When a breeze comes, the kite soars into the sky
为了你而祈祷 而祝福 而感动
Praying for you, blessing you, feeling moved
终于你身影消失在人海尽头
Finally, your silhouette fades into the end of the crowd
才发现 笑著哭最痛
Only then did I realize, smiling while crying is the truest pain
当一阵风吹来 风筝飞上天空
When a breeze blows by, the kite soars into the sky
为了你而祈祷 而祝福 而感动
I pray for you, I bless you, I feel so moved
终于你身影消失在人海尽头
Finally, your silhouette disappears at the edge of the crowd
才发现 笑著哭最痛 oh
Only then do I realize, crying with a smile is the most painful, oh
如果我爱上你的笑容
If I fall in love with your smile
要怎么收藏？要怎么拥有？
How can I keep it? How can I possess it?
如果你快乐再不是为我
If your happiness is no longer for me
会不会放手 其实才是拥有
Would letting go actually be a form of possessing?
知足的快乐 叫我忍受心痛
The joy of contentment makes me endure the heartache
知足的快乐 叫我忍受心痛
The joy of contentment makes me endure the heartache
