雖然經常夢見妳
Suīrán jīngcháng mèngjiàn nǐ
Although I often dream of you
還是毫無頭緒
Háishì háo wú tóuxù
I still have no clue what to do

It’s raining outside—what day is it today?
But I don’t know 你去哪裡
But I don’t know, nǐ qù nǎlǐ
But I don’t know, where did you go
雖然不曾懷疑你
Suīrán bùcéng huáiyí nǐ
Although I never doubted you
