Have you already forgotten me?
I quietly left from the deep recesses of your memory
We’ve both changed our numbers
Perhaps we’ve lost touch

Actually it’s a been a really really long time since
I picked up the phone to call you
It’s just that I occasionally think of
The years we spent together

Underneath that tree where we buried the glass bottle
The hidden secret that I very much want to tell you
Actually I’ve wanted to write a letter this whole time
Don’t know where to mail it to

I’m walking by myself on the street
There’s a familiar silhouette
Want to approach but I can’t be sure
In an instant it disappears from my vision

How many people like you will I encounter in this lifetime?
Neither close nor distant, stars in the night sky
If some day I run into you on some corner
I’ll embrace you

Lalala…

After many years I returned to the tree
Unfortunately, things were already completely changed

Chinese lyrics

你是否已忘记了我
悄悄离去 从记忆深处
彼此都换了号码
我们或许失去了联系

其实我也好久好久
没拿起电话要打给你
只是偶尔还会想起
与你共同度过的年纪

那一棵树下我们埋的玻璃瓶
藏的秘密 好想告诉你
其实我一直都想写封信
不知道 要寄去哪里

我独自在街上走着
有一个熟悉背影
想上前又不敢确定
一转眼又消失在视野里

一生会遇到多少个这样的你
若即若离,夜空的星
如果某一天在某个路口相遇
我会拥抱你

Lalala…

过了多少年我又回到了树下
只可惜,已今非昔比
