Lyrics (Original Chinese, Pinyin Romanization, and English Translation):

我的天空为何挂满湿的泪
wǒ de tiān kōng wèi hé guà mǎn shī de lèi
My sky. Why is it covered with tears?

我的天空为何总灰的脸
wǒ de tiān kòng wèi hé zǒng huì de liǎn
My sky. Why is its face always grey?

飘流在世界的另一边
piāo liú zài shì jiè de lìng yì biān
Drifting on the other side of the world

任寂寞侵犯一遍一遍
rèn jì mò qīn fàn yí biàn yí biàn
Allowing loneliness to invade again and again

天空划着长长的思念
tiān kōng huà zhe cháng cháng de sī niàn
The sky. Pierced by long, long longing

你的天空可有悬着想的云
nǐ de tiān kōng kě yǒu xuán zhè xiǎng de yǔn
Your sky. Does it have clouds hung there that are missing (me)?

你的天空可会有冷的月
nǐ de tiān kōng ké huì yǒu lěng de yuè
Your sky. Does it have the cold Moon?

放逐在世界的另一边
fàng zhú zài shì jiè de lìng yì biān
Exiled on the other side of the world

任寂寞占据一夜一夜
rèn jì mò zhàn jù yí yè yí y4
Allowing loneliness to occupy night after night

天空藏着深深的思念
tiān kōng cáng zhe shēn shēn de sī niàn
The sky. Hiding deep, deep longing

等待在世界的各一边
děng dài zài shì jiè de gè yì biān
Waiting on opposite sides of the world

任寂寞嬉笑一年一年
rèn jì mò xī xiào yì nián yì nián
Allowing loneliness to laugh year after year

天空叠着层层的思念
tiān kōng dié zhe céng céng de sī niàn
The sky. Piled with layers and layers of longing

The sky. Piled with layers and layers of longing
