I.    Lyrics (translated from Chinese)

Because fall is almost ending, footprints outside the windbreak forest are gradually disappearing.
Ah, because fall is most ending,
Well arranged flying wild geese have finished their last tour.
Ah, because fall is almost ending,
You in the distance through graceful photosynthesis,
Quietly fermente in between the season and dream.
Mmmm. Mmmm. New moon slowly goes up in the dark blue canvas.
Carrying the beach shoes that are not wet anymore, I gently close my eyes and make a wish.
Because, because, because fall is almost ending.
The sea will be bluer. The romance will be more romantic.
And that winds round and round in the maple forest will be more enchanting. Enchanting.

Lyrics written by Yang Ping (楊平)

因為秋天就要過去　防風林外的足痕已漸漸淡了
啊　因為秋天就要過去
一行人字雁完成了最後的巡禮
啊　因為秋天就要過去
遠方的你透過優美的光合作用
在季節與夢想間悄悄發酵
呣　呣　在深藍畫布上徐徐昇起了新月
拎著不再濕漉的海灘鞋　我輕輕闔目許願
因為　因為　因為秋天就要過去
海會更藍　浪漫的會更浪漫
繚繞在楓樹林的會更醉人　醉人

II.    About this Song

Exposition of the music:
It is a cello sonata, and closely linked and matched with piano. The city’s dissociation and poet’s romance are interwoven into the feelings. It is a singing poem. Hsu Chien-Chun’s voice is running and flying around the extensive lake. When the fall ends, life starts at the green land.
—From the album of “Since I Meet You That Time”
