我是天空的一片云
I am a cloud in the sky
偶尔投影在你的波心
Occasionally casting a shadow on your waves
你不必讶异无需欢喜
You need not be surprised, nor rejoice
在转瞬间消灭了踪影
In an instant, my traces vanish away
你是天空的一片云
You are a cloud in the sky
偶尔投影在我的波心
Occasionally casting a shadow on my waves
你不必讶异无需欢喜
You need not be surprised, nor rejoice
在转瞬间消灭了踪影
In an instant, your traces vanish away
你我相逢在黑夜的海上
We meet upon the sea of the night
你有你的 我有我的方向
You have your path, and I have mine
你记得也好 最好你忘掉
It's fine if you remember, but forgetting is best.
在这交会时互放的光亮
The light we share at this intersection.
我是天空的一片云
I am a cloud in the sky.
偶尔投影在你的波心
Occasionally casting my shadow on your waves.
你不必讶异无需欢喜
You needn't be surprised, nor need to rejoice.
在转瞬间消灭了踪影
In an instant, I vanished without a trace.
你我相逢在黑夜的海上
We meet upon the sea of the night.
你有你的 我有我的方向
You have your path, and I have mine.
你记得也好 最好你忘掉
It's fine if you remember, but forgetting is best.
在这交会时互放的光亮
The light we share at this intersection.
你我相逢在黑夜的海上
You and I meet on the sea of night
你有你的 我有我的方向
You have your path, I have mine
你记得也好 最好你忘掉
It's fine if you remember, but best if you forget
在这交会时互放的光亮
In this moment of intersection, we shine bright
我是天空的一片云
I am a cloud in the sky
偶尔投影在你的波心
Occasionally casting my shadow on your waves
你不必讶异无需欢喜
You need not be surprised, nor should you rejoice
在转瞬间消灭了踪影
In an instant, I vanish without a trace
