Origin. It began with a farewell letter—he wrote about a new, practical life; no more music or poems; half brain money, half brain work. Yet he also said, “You uncovered a part of me I couldn’t even notice.” So I folded the unsaid lines and the unfinished chorus into the echo of “Mandarin Ducks over Immortals,” and sang to us—and to the moon on the river.

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
假期過得怎樣?
我把「我很好」摺成紙船；
推回你手裡，卻不敢寫上目的地。
你說你更務實，把詩收進抽屜；
而我把沉默，放在枕邊的夜裡。

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Half brain chases money,
half brain drowns in work；
可我仍記得，你眼裡那道火。
No more spiritual talks, no poems after dark
但靈魂還會認得我。

[Chorus]
不求天上名，只願人間並；
就算風把願望吹散在河面。
你說「永遠朋友」，我把淚收斂；
只羨鴛鴦不羨仙，
把你放在心底最安靜的那邊。
(Not a name among the stars—just side by side on earth.)

[Verse 2]
你說已經有人了，人生改了方向；
我把祝福寫長，一筆一畫地原諒。
沒被說出口的，其實最像真相；
我們的歌還在唱，只是換了地方。

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I miss the old time jokes, the nights we used to laugh
時間把熱烈，改寫成留白。
You said “unforgettable”—我把它輕輕放
在胸口最脆弱的那一塊。

[Bridge]
You uncovered a part of me I couldn’t even see
Unforgettable—still, I keep it tenderly.
「若靈魂相通，就不必喧嘩證明；」
「把未寄的卡片，悄悄放進黎明。」

[Final Chorus]
不求天上名，只願人間並（Not a god, just side by side）；
明日再現實，也別丟浪漫（Hold the quiet light inside）。
Forever friend, 我在你看不見的岸邊；
只羨鴛鴦不羨仙 Unforgettable, still
難忘，依然…
我把你放在最柔軟的那邊。

[Outro]
Wish you well…


Unforgettable, Still — English Version

[Intro ]

[Verse 1]
“How were the holidays?”—the paper asks at dawn.
I fold “I’m fine” into a little boat and send it on.
You say you’ve grown practical, you put the poems away
I keep the quiet on my pillow where the midnight stays.

[Pre-Chorus]
Half my days seek money, half are drowned in work—
still I remember how your eyes once held a spark.
No more midnight talking, no more sacred words,
yet somewhere in the hush our souls still know the mark.

[Chorus]
Not a name in the sky—just shoulder to shoulder on earth;
even if the wind scatters wishes across the river’s curve.
You wrote “forever friend,” so I swallow back the rain;
Mandarin ducks over gods—I keep you in the softest place

[Verse 2]
You say there’s someone with you now, the compass changed its line;
I write a long benediction, let forgiveness underline.
What never reached our lips is often most true,
our song still keeps on singing—only from another room.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I miss the jokes at midnight, the laughter on the stairs;
time revised our fire into a margin left bare.
You said “unforgettable”—I set the word to rest,
on the thinnest part of me, behind my steadfast chest.

[Bridge]
You uncovered a part of me I couldn’t even see;
unforgettable—still, I hold it carefully.
If souls can meet in silence, there’s nothing to defend;
I slip the letter back to dawn and let the night make amends.

[Final Chorus]
Not a name in the sky—just shoulder to shoulder on earth
tomorrow may be practical—don’t let the light disperse
Forever friend, I’ll stand upon the bank you cannot see;
Mandarin ducks over gods—unforgettable, still…
I place your name where all my quiet feelings breathe.

[Outro ]
Wish you well…
