我wǒ听见tīngjiàn雨滴yǔdī落luò在zài青青qīngqīng草地cǎodì

认真rènzhēn呼唤hūhuàn我wǒ姓名xìngmíng

爱上àishàng你nǐ的de时候shíhou还huán不懂bùdǒng感情gǎnqíng

离别líbié了le才cái觉得juéde刻骨kègǔ铭心míngxīn

为什么wèishénme没有méiyǒu发现fāxiàn遇见yùjiàn了le你nǐ

是shì生命shēngmìng最好zuìhǎo的de事情shìqing

也许yěxǔ当时dāngshí忙着mángzhe微笑wēixiào和hé哭泣kūqì

忙着mángzhe追逐zhuīzhú天空中tiānkōngzhōng的de流星liúxīng

人rén理所当然lǐsuǒdāngrán的de忘记wàngjì

是shì谁shéi风里fēnglǐ雨里yǔlǐ一直yìzhí默默mòmò守护shǒuhù在zài原地yuándì

与yǔ你nǐ相遇xiāngyù好hǎo幸运xìngyùn

可kě我wǒ已yǐ失去shīqù为wèi你nǐ泪流满面lèiliúmǎnmiàn的de权利quánlì

但愿dànyuàn在zài我wǒ看不到kànbúdào的de天际tiānjì

你nǐ张开zhāngkāi了le双翼shuāngyì

遇见yùjiàn你的nǐde注定zhùdìng她tā会huì有yǒu多duō幸运xìngyùn

青春qīngchūn是shì段duàn跌跌撞撞diēdiēzhuàngzhuàng的de旅行lǚxíng

English Translation

I hear raindrops falling on the green grass
I hear in the distance the school bell ringing
But I haven’t heard your voice
Calling my name sincerely

When I fell in love with you, I didn’t understand feelings
Only after parting did I realize it was unforgettable
Why didn’t I notice meeting you
Was the best thing in my life

Maybe at the time I was too busy smiling and crying
Busy chasing the shooting stars in the sky
People tend to forget what’s taken for granted
Who was silently guarding me in the wind and rain

Turns out you were the luck I wanted to hold onto
Turns out we were once so close with love
The decision to fight the world for me
The rain that we braved together
It was always you and your pure sincere heart

It was so lucky to met you
But I have lost the right to cry for you
Hope somewhere I can’t see
You’ve spread your wings
And found yourself the one
How lucky she would be
