飄洋過海來看你 [Piāo yáng guò hǎi lái kàn nǐ] [English translation]

Because of you, I spent half of my year's savings

To cross the ocean to come see you

Because of this meeting

I even repeatedly practiced how to breathe in front of you

Words could never

Express even the tiniest bit of my affection for you

Because of this regret

I tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep

Memories just kept accumulating slowly

in my heart, and I was unable to erase them

Because of your commitment

I was able to hold back tears when I was in extreme despair

*In the familiar corner of an otherwise foreign city

We comforted each other in our embrace and sighs

Ignoring whatever our fates may end up becoming

*As sand blew across the sky, I bid you farewell

I could not stop my feelings of despondency

(How much I yearn to escort you a thousand miles

Until the mountains crumble and the oceans dry up

and be with you the rest of my life)

Repeat *, ()
