If there is no encounter in this life,
You will have no idea about the feling of solicitude,
And the taste of mutual concern.
When walking lonely in the unfamiliar city,
You won't realize there is certain quiet yearning,
From afar every day.
If there is no encounter in this life,
You will find the world is big,
Big enough to offer new world that we never knowbefore;
You will also think the world is so small,
That every corner is stamped by familiar footprints,
Just like that ittle repeating secret thought.
If there is no encounter in this life,
I don't know where I should stare at,
And the softness in your eyes will also not be orientedtoward my direction.
I will watch sunrise and sunset, listen to the singing ofthe insects and birds,
With the accompany of tenuous cloud and gentlebreeze,
Standing all by myself, body and shadow comfortingeach other.
假如人生不曾相遇，
你不会知道挂念的感觉，
不会知道世界上还有一种滋味叫做彼此关心。
行走在孤独而陌生的城市里，
不会知道在每一个日子里，
还会有一份来自远方的安静的牵挂。
假如人生不曾相遇，
你会发现世界很大，
大到还有许多我们不曾知晓的地方;
也会发现世界很小，
小到每一个经过的角落都刻下了熟悉的足迹，
熟悉如那段翻来覆去不断重播的秘密心事。
假如人生不曾相遇，
我不会知道该往何处凝视，
你也不会朝着我的方向凝眸。
每天只在风轻云淡里，
看日出日落，听虫鸣鸟叫，
冷暖自知，与自己的影子彼此安慰。
