The song made me, and many watching at home during the pandemic, tear. Bittersweet from the pain of separation from loved ones, permanent for some. But a collective hope for a better tomorrow.
English Translation
Sunset is so beautiful Light from the setting sun shines on the white wall At this moment tears unexpectedly fall My smile freezes on my face as memories scatter
Yesterday doesn’t matter anymore The future is distant and a lot is left unsaid I know you are struggling But you have to learn to reconcile with yourself
Because you have to believe Stop your doubting You might have some regrets But you experience the ups and downs And yield a pleasant surprise in the crack on the wall
Wishes and clocks nestle against each other A gentle breeze embraces me and I feel the warmth
Yesterday doesn’t matter anymore The future is distant and a lot is left unsaid I know you are struggling But you have to learn to reconcile with yourself
Because you have to believe Stop your doubting You might have some regrets But you experience the ups and downs And yield a pleasant surprise in the crack on the wall
Oh because you have to believe For the sake of a better reunion You are given distance and time apart That day is worth waiting for That day will be as bountiful as a sea of stars
Soliloquies:

Original Chinese Lyrics
黄昏的天空 很美
斜阳下的光亮 映在白墙
竟然就这样 流泪
微笑僵在脸上 回忆散落
已不重要 昨天
未来还很远 太多话梅兑现
我知道你很纠结
但总要学着自我和解
Because you have to believe
不要再怀疑
或许 留下遗憾
也算经历了潮起潮落
惊喜会在裂缝中结果
心愿和时钟 依偎
微风拥抱着我 感受温柔
已不重要 昨天
未来还很远 太多话梅兑现
我知道你很纠结
但总要学着自我和解
Because you have to believe
不要再怀疑
或许 留下遗憾
也算经历了潮起潮落
惊喜会在裂缝中结果
Oh because you have to believe
只为了更好遇见
才赠矛了距离和时间
那一天 值得期待
那一天 满载星海
