This is the most poem like song I had heard back in 2018. It tells a story of a silent and courteous follower of love, lingering around the person he loves everywhere and whenever, without drawing her attention. He deems every little gesture of hers a bonus of a pilgrim like him. He expects no more than her glance accidental, and her passing by undesigned. Only love can make someone modest enough to be a shadow, following you behind without being noticed, only to put himself right beside you, through thick and thin.
追光者
The light follower
岑宁儿
如果说你是海上的烟火
If you are fireworks upon the skyline
我是浪花的泡沫
I will be foam transparent white
某一刻你的光照亮了我
You light me up at a certain time
如果说你是遥远的星河
If you are the galaxy far away and bright
耀眼得让人想哭
Shining enough to make me cry
我是追逐着你的眼眸
I will be the one in pursuit of your eyes
总在孤单时候眺望夜空
Enjoy looking up into the sky
When I'm alone
我可以跟在你身后
I can follow you everywhere
像影子追着光梦游
Like shadow sleepwalking after light
我可以等在这路口
I can wait for you in the air
不管你会不会经过
Whether you'll ever pass me by
每当我为你抬起头
Every time I raise my head for you
连眼泪都觉得自由
I set the tears perfect free
有的爱像阳光倾落边拥有边失去着
Some love pours down as sunshine
We miss it when trying to own
如果说你是夏夜的萤火
If you are firefly at summer night
孩子们为你唱歌
Children sing for you in smile
那么我是想要画你的手
Then I will be the hand to
Draw your outline
你看我多么渺小一个我
Tiny I am
You have just realized
因为你有梦可做
My dream lasts because of you
也许你不会为我停留
Maybe you won't linger over for me
那就让我站在你的背后
Then let me stand right behind you
我可以跟在你身后
I can follow you everywhere
像影子追着光梦游
Like shadow sleepwalking after light
我可以等在这路口
I can wait for you in the air
不管你会不会经过
Whether you'll ever pass me by
每当我为你抬起头
Every time I raise my head for you
连眼泪都觉得自由
I set the tears perfect free
有的爱像大雨滂沱却依然相信彩虹
Some love pours down as heavy rain
But I still believe in rainbow
