FEMALE (spoken – EN):

I saw you

under the tent of another life—

your eyes still laughing

through the painted mask.

FEMALE (whispered – ZH):

我們曾在星光下

轉過千百次命運的馬戲棚。

FEMALE (sung – EN):

You juggled stars for me,

balanced on the wire of time.

Every fall, you caught me

before the ground remembered my name.

FEMALE (sung – ZH):

每次墜落，

你都在時間的盡頭接住我。

像個記得前世的飛人，

輕聲說：「我一直都在。」

FEMALE (spoken – EN):

We are all dust and spotlight.

But you—

you are the rope I walk across

just to remember how to fly.

FEMALE (sung – EN):

We’ve danced this dream before—

in fire, in feathers,

in whispered names beneath the sawdust sky.

This is not the first time

I’ve loved you from across a ring of flame.

FEMALE (sung – ZH):

這不是第一次，

我從火圈的另一端

望見你，

微笑著，像夢一樣熟悉。

FEMALE (sung – EN):

You tied balloons to my memory,

led me through parades of forgotten lives.

Cotton candy kisses—

they still melt on my lips when I think of you.

FEMALE (spoken – EN):

Even silence knows your name.

Even reincarnation couldn’t erase the taste

of your voice in my ear.

FEMALE (whispered – ZH):

即使轉世，

你聲音的溫度

還藏在我心上。

FEMALE (sung – EN):

We’ve jumped through hoops of time—

and still,

your hands remember mine.

No matter the costume,

your soul wears the same rhythm.

FEMALE (sung – ZH):

不論換多少戲服，

你的靈魂總跳著

我最熟悉的節奏。

Accordion solo, interwoven with gentle piano.

FEMALE (spoken – EN):

I knew you before language.

Before fire-breathers and stardust.

Before the ringmaster called my name—

I knew.

FEMALE (spoken – ZH):

還沒開始，

我就知道是你。

FEMALE (sung – EN):

You are the echo of time,

the flame beneath each lifetime’s mask.

You are my wings in the dark.

You are the sky

I keep returning to.

FEMALE (sung – ZH):

你是我回不去卻不停追逐的天空。

在每一世的夜裡

我仍記得你的光。

FEMALE (spoken – EN):

Next time…

don’t wait for the spotlight.

Just find me

beneath the tent

and take my hand.

FEMALE (whispered – ZH):

下次再見，

請直接牽起我的手。
