fēng dào zhè lǐ jiù shì zhān
风到这里就是粘
The wind here turns sticky
zhān zhù guò kè de sī niàn
粘住过客的思念
Gluing travelers’ longing
yǔ dào le zhè lǐ chán chéng xiàn
雨到了这里缠成线
Rain here twists into threads
chán zhe wǒ men liú lián rén shì jiān
缠着我们流连人世间
Entangling us in this mortal world

Destiny carved on the Stone of Three Lives

爱有万分之一甜
Love’s sweetness, one in ten thousand
nìng yuàn wǒ jiù zàng zài zhè yī diǎn
宁愿我就葬在这一点
I’d rather be buried in this moment
quān quān yuán yuán quān quān
圈圈圆圆圈圈
Circles round and round

Day after day, year after year, me

We who don’t understand love’s torment

Thought love changed like wind and clouds
