是什麼讓我遇見這樣的你?

是什么 让我遇见这样的你
是什么 让我不再怀疑自己
是什么 让我不再害怕失去

This artiste makes her way straight into my music library, perfect for the early morning commute on reflective train rides.

I know it's a terribly loose and clumsy translation, but it's testimony to how English can't fully encapsulate the beauty of the Chinese language.
