The lyrics of " West Ocean Love Song " were as follows: Ever since you left, I lost my gentleness. Waiting on this long snowy mountain road, listening to the cold wind whistling. I can't see the end, the wind is like a knife cutting my face. I can't wait until the horizon of the West Sea is blue, and I can't speak of this vast plateau. I still remember that you promised me that you wouldn't let me find you. But you flew so far with the migrating bird returning to the south. Love is like a kite with a broken string, unable to hold the promise you made. Waiting on this long snowy mountain road, listening to the cold wind whistling. I can't see the end, the wind is like a knife cutting my face. I can't wait until the horizon of the West Sea is blue, and I can't speak of this vast plateau. I still remember that you promised me that you wouldn't let me find you. But you flew so far with the migrating bird returning to the south. Love is like a kite with a broken string, unable to hold the promise you made. I'm waiting for the warm spring at the top of the snow mountain. A lone goose waiting for the return of the melting snow on the plateau. Love is difficult to continue, we can't go back to the past.
