Sky (tracks 1, 5)

song: Yang Ming Huang/lyrics: Huang Gui Lan

Why is my sky filled with tears? 
Why does my sky always have a grey face?
Wandering on the other side of the world
Letting loneliness invade again and again
The sky is streaked with longing

Is your sky filled with clouds of thought?
Does your sky have a cold moon?
Banished to the other side of the sky
Letting loneliness take over night after night
The sky is filled with hidden longing

Our skies, when will they become one?
Our skies, when will they be united?
Each waiting on different sides of the world
Letting loneliness taunt us year after year
The sky is piled with layers of longing

Hope that the sky won't be filled with tears
Hope that the sky won't paint a grey face

Chesspiece (track 2)

song: Yang Ming Huang/lyrics: Pan Li Yu

I wish to leave your territory
Yet I enter your war situation
I don't have strong defences
And don't have an alternate route into which to retreat

I wish to escape from your trap
Yet I find myself trapped in another dilemma
I don't have the courage to determine victory or defeat
And don't have the good fortune of escape

I'm like a chesspiece
Attacking and retreating at your will
I am not the only knight in your eyes
Just an ordinary pawn

I'm like a chesspiece
Coming and going against my will
Raising of a hand without return; you never wavered
Yet I am under your control

Angel (track 3)

song/lyrics: Huang Shu Jun

If I could, I want to be more conscious
If I could, I want to be lighter

Passing through fog, passing through clouds
See your heart clearly
It's too emotional, it's too suspicious
It's giving you a signal

My love is on the verge
Will soon fly to you
My beautiful angel of a heart
No longer mysterious
Will only wait for you
My tender angel of a heart
Only want you to watch over me for a lifetime
I will forever, sweetly day and night
Love you with my heart

I don't believe in a moment of courage
I only accept a lifetime of fate

Passing through fog, passing through clouds
See through your heart
It's real love, it's cherished
Don't want it to be a game

Shadow (track 4)

song: Huang Guo Lun/lyrics: Huang Gui Lan

You have a name
I'm only a shadow
Your heart has a shadow
I'm only a name

Can't clearly express its meaning
This matter isn't an explanation
Can't see the location clearly
It's only a case of misjudgement

Still cloning this love
In exactly the same form
To endlessly act out the same event

Still continuously modifying my every move
To become what you have always wanted me to be
Now that this has begun, when will it ever stop?

Devotion (track 6)

song: Zhong Xing Min/lyrics: Wang Zhong Yan

The frigid street at ten degrees below zero
I fear that you will kiss my tears at our parting
Entanglement

The snow, piled higher than my dreams
How can it block out your rampage in my heart?

An old necklace
A yellowing t-shirt
A pair of worn-out shoes
I'm in love with everything about you
Whether it's nearby or far away, right or wrong

No one can change me
In my love for you, I stopped caring about right or wrong long ago ~ no regrets

No one needs recapture
The sleepless nights I spent for you ~ no resentment

Amaranthine (track 7) 

song/lyrics: Huang Shu Jun

The longspun thread of longing has finally been broken
Years of attachment, yet [we] still missed our date
You have gone far away, disappeared from my life's horizon
The happiness and sadness of this life have lost their flavour

Memories are spreading, consuming my countenance
I cannot walk away from yesterday, cannot shed tears
You were once my sky, I needed only to raise my face to possess everything
How can I face a night without you?

My deep love for you is amaranthine
My resentment for you is amaranthine
My devotion for you is amaranthine
From now on until eternity

My yearning for you is amaranthine
My broken heart is amaranthine*
My best wishes for you are amaranthine
Even if you become oblivious to all my wishes from now on

*Please note that a better translation for this line would be "I will forever remain
broken-hearted because of you", but I have opted for the less accurate translation
as it fits in better with the rest of the lyrics.

Reservedness (track 8)

song: Guo Zi/lyrics: Xu Chang De

I have never refused your charm
Even though you have never been in love with me
I have always looked at you with a smile
My love has always easily overflowed in front of [your] eyes

I once imagined on a lonely night
That you were finally in my room
You closed your eyes and kissed me
You silently held me tight in your arms

I really love you, I love you deeply
[This is] the first time I have relinquished my reservedness
And let myself freely imagine everything about you and me

You really love me, you love me deeply
[This is] the first time I have relinquished my reservedness
I believe that I can truly love you deeply

Elude (track 9)

song: Dolores O'Riordan, Noel Hogan/lyrics: Li Yao

Say goodbye
Treat love like a lie
Put an end to it, don't dwell on it

Love is already tired
[It] walks farther and farther away
Your heart is no longer in sight

I once loved until I was unable to tell right from wrong
I thought that it was worth the tears
I thought I would be happy
I don't want to lose sleep over love
Let the dark night surround my every day
To undo the resentment in my heart

Love has been extinguished
Entanglement is the only thing left from love and hate
It's too late to say anything

Dreams are hard to fulfill
We're already at the end of the road
Bid farewell to yesterday with a wave of the hand

I have given up my longing for you
Love is like a kite with a broken string
It can no longer fly back to my side
Only now have I learned to release myself
To release myself from the trap of love
I think I'm independent enough

[I'll] see you in my dreams
The last thread of love
We'll meet in our dreams

Starting from today
I will fly away from your world
I don't care how far I'll have to go, how far I'll have to go

Pledge (track 10)

song: Faye Wong, Dou Wei/lyrics: Faye Wong

I thought that we could be together forever
Lots of times, I think of this and I don't want to fall asleep
If you could give me a sincere certainty
It doesn't matter; nothing matters to me

The road ahead is perhaps not too clear
After I proceed on confidently, perhaps I'll find it exhausting
Perhaps I'll want to stop but cannot stop

The darker the sky becomes, the more tired my heart becomes
I saw your face, listened to your unvoiced pledge
At that moment I discovered
That one day I walked past you and didn't catch your gaze

I take my heart and give it to you to console
Is it possible for me not to have to take it back?
[Please] don't think that a resolute heart is unbreakable
[Please] don't think that nothing matters to me
