Lyrics (Original Chinese, Pinyin Romanization, and English Translation):
我的天空 为何挂满湿的泪 (Wǒde tiānkōng wèihé guàmǎn shīdelèi)
My sky. Why is it covered with tears?
我的天空 为何总灰的脸 (Wǒde tiānkòng wèihé zǒng huì de liǎn)
My sky. Why is its face always grey?
飘流在世界的另一边 (Piāoliú zài shìjiè de lìngyìbiān)
Drifting on the other side of the world
任寂寞侵犯一遍一遍 (Rèn jìmò qīnfàn yíbiàn yíbiàn)
Allowing loneliness to invade again and again
天空划着长长的思念 (Tiānkōng huàzhe chángcháng de sīniàn)
The sky. Pierced by long, long longing
你的天空 可有悬着想的云 (Nǐde tiānkōng kěyǒu xuánzhè xiǎngdeyǔn)
Your sky. Does it have clouds hung there that are missing (me)?
你的天空 可会有冷的月 (Nǐde tiānkōng kéhuìyǒu lěngdeyuè)
Your sky. Does it have the cold Moon?
放逐在世界的另一边 (Fàngzhú zài shìjiè de lìngyìbiān)
Exiled on the other side of the world
任寂寞占据一夜一夜 (Rèn jìmò zhànjù yíyè yíyè)
Allowing loneliness to occupy night after night
天空藏着深深的思念 (Tiānkōng cángzhe shēnshēn de sīniàn)
The sky. Hiding deep, deep longing
等待在世界的各一边 (Děngdài zài shìjiè de gèyìbiān)
Waiting on opposite sides of the world
任寂寞嬉笑一年一年 (Rèn jìmò xīxiào yìnián yìnián)
Allowing loneliness to laugh year after year
天空叠着层层的思念 (Tiānkōng diézhe céngcéng de sīniàn)
The sky. Piled with layers and layers of longing
天空叠着层层的思念 (Tiānkōng diézhe céngcéng de sīniàn)
The sky. Piled with layers and layers of longing
