[Verse 1]
On Sunday night, as we returned, our car sped along the road.
We entered the expressway at an on-ramp.
I take a ticket at the gate.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I drove it at a speed of up to 80 kilometers per hour.
[Chorus 1]
A red light flashed on and off.
A shooting star flashed across the night sky.
Our country life flashes past my eyes.
It is fleeting happiness – brief and ephemeral.
[Verse 2]
Darkness fell. It was foggy, and all cars had their headlights on.
All became quieter as the night went on.
The engine was very quiet.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I glanced at the passenger seat. She was sleeping.
[Chorus 2]
A red light flashed on and off.
A shooting star flashed across the night sky.
My life flashes past my eyes.
Life is but a dream – brief and ephemeral.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
I found the monotonous country life quite pleasant at first, but soon I grew tired of it.
We yearn for city life.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
We entered the city center, and the expressway was congested.
[Chorus 3]
A red light flashed on and off.
A shooting star flashed across the night sky.
My life flashes past my eyes.
Life is but a dream – brief and ephemeral.
[Bridge]
“I want to eat chocolate,” she said.
“I bought chocolate kisses at the service area,” I replied.
“Do you want my kiss?” she asked.
“Yes, please,” I replied.
[Final Chorus]
A red light flashed on and off.
A shooting star flashed across the night sky.
My life flashes past my eyes.
Life is but a dream – brief and ephemeral.
[Instrumental Solo]
