Rain falls hard, reflections dance on the floor.

He rolls the window down, the air’s a bit cold,

伊把车窗摇下来 外头有点冷

Inside, a sadness that words can’t hold.

The two of them know they’re about to part,

伊踩住油门 在雨里开了飞快

Just like a movie scene

In the rearview mirror, their faces flicker with passing light,

ɦeu sy jin li liaŋ zaŋ mi koŋ yiʔ xiʔ ø yiʔ xiʔ liaŋ

Neither of them speaks, lost in the night.

Just song after song, playing away.

retrieve visceral power

Suddenly, he feels the world is surreal,

Becoming just a pure spectator.
