[Intro]
我在佛前求了五百年
求他讓我們結一段塵緣
果然在繁花盛開的春天
你的出現
為我們的故事寫下開篇

[Verse 1]
那一年，我們的笑語劃過天邊
你的掌心溫暖了我的指尖
我以為你已放下從前
不顧一切與我並肩走過人間

[Pre-Chorus 1]
時間的謊言，曾以為會永遠
承諾的謊言，不過一念之間

[Chorus]
我不解，
這難道就是我用五百年換來的情愛
等了幾世，在茫茫人海
只為與你短暫相遇，卻又分開
看遍繁華落盡，只剩一地塵埃

[Verse 2]
佛輕聲開示，無常即是變；
我們雖握不住流沙，但已擁有最美的瞬間。
只願時間走慢一點，能讓此刻承擔往後的思念；
在各自遠行前，讓我再看你一眼。

[Pre-Chorus 2]
早知相遇的剎那，就是離別的開始
緣起時，便將淚與溫柔釀成相思。

[Chorus]
我不解，
這難道就是我用五百年換來的情愛
等了幾世，在茫茫人海
只為與你短暫相遇，卻又分開
看遍繁華落盡，只剩一地塵埃

[Bridge]
一場錯開的花季，教人學會珍惜；
原來我得用，另一個 五 百 年 來忘記你。
只願，當花再開過千年以後
我們在茫茫人海中，不再錯過

[Final Chorus]
我終解，
相遇不是為了擁有
而是讓我懂得放開
在紅塵中學會釋懷
我將不再求佛等待
只把重逢交給未來

[Outro]
相遇不是為了擁有，
只是為了讓愛停留，
在心中靜靜守候。

《Five Hundred Years in Prayer》

[Intro]
I knelt before the Buddha for five hundred years,
Praying that our fates would intertwine.
And in a spring of blossoms in full bloom,
You appeared—
Writing the opening of our story.

[Verse 1]
That year our laughter traced across the sky,
Your palm brought warmth to my fingertips.
I thought you had let go of your past,
And would walk beside me through this mortal life.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The lie of time — I thought it meant forever,
The lie of promises — gone in just a moment.

[Chorus]
I don’t understand,
Is this the love I traded five hundred years for?
Through lifetimes in this endless sea of faces,
Only to meet you briefly, then part once more.
All the splendor fades to dust on the floor.

[Verse 2]
Softly the Buddha speaks: impermanence is change.
Though we can’t hold the drifting sand,
We have held the most beautiful moment.
If only time would slow a little,
Let this moment carry all the longing to come.
Before we walk our separate roads,
Let me look at you once more.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Had I known the instant we met
Was the beginning of goodbye,
I would have brewed my tears and tenderness
Into longing from the very start.

[Chorus]
I don’t understand,
Is this the love I traded five hundred years for?
Through lifetimes in this endless sea of faces,
Only to meet you briefly, then part once more.
All the splendor fades to dust on the floor.

[Bridge]
A season of flowers we missed
Taught me how to cherish.
Now I must spend another five hundred years
Forgetting you.
And when the blossoms bloom a thousand years from now,
May we meet in the crowded world
And never miss again.

[Final Chorus]
Now I understand,
Meeting was never meant to possess,
But to learn how to release.
In this mortal world I’ve learned to let go.
I will no longer pray and wait—
I leave our reunion to time.

[Outro]
Meeting was never meant to possess,
Only to let love remain,
Quietly kept within my heart.
