That song written in 1993
Is your favorite
You used it to move girls' hearts
But I got hurt instead

Vancouver by the sea
It's blue in your eyes
I remember the future you spoke of
Was more romantic than song lyrics
I remember the melody you hummed
Faint, but yet warm

That city is full of artificial lights
The stars become dull
You gaze at the sky, the faint red sky
Saying the night just came

Then the flight south took take me away
I quickly let go of your hand
Your blessings were too generous

Oh darling, I'm so lonely 
The night sky remembers
That year when flying towards love, the beautiful rays
Say darling, no more heartache
I really want to ask you
Are you OK?
Do you not kiss your lover goodbye anymore?

I'm in Taipei, the sleepless nights
The song play all night
Who is that boy playing guitar on the CD cover?

I was in Shanghai during New Year
Looking at the fireworks' brilliance
I fly nonstop to Hong Kong and Beijing
Afraid that the hurt will chase after me
Because remembrance is just like Taipei 101
It's there no matter where you look

Every city is full of artificial lights
But don't blame the sea of lights
I'm not a poet, but just a traveler
I'm not going to cry or feel anymore

When I think of you, the night sky
Is full of different colors
Sometimes red, sometimes grayish-blue
But usually, it's just blank

Oh darling, I 'm so lonely 
The night sky can't see
That year when flying towards love, the beautiful rays
Say darling, no more heartache
I really want to tell you
I'm OK!
But it's just my heart is still waiting to welcome the pain

Oh Darling, oh, I miss you 
Oh Darling,
Oh Darling, I miss you
Oh, I miss you oh, I miss you
Here's my go at it...Sorry that I suck at translating lyrics X_X

And a note about the "artificial lights" part, she's actually singing about "light pollution", but that just sounds weird translated lol

Anyways, this was a really beautiful song <3
