[English]

When mountains lose their jagged edges,

When rivers cease to flow,

When time stands still, and day blends into night,

When all of creation turns to nothingness,

I still can’t let you go.

I can’t let you go.

Your tenderness is my greatest treasure in this life.

When the sun no longer rises,

When the Earth stops spinning,

When seasons no longer change,

When all plants and trees wither away,

I still can’t part from you.

I can’t part from you.

Your smile is my deepest attachment in this life.

Let’s walk through this world together, living freely and boldly,

Riding the winds of life, sharing its splendor.

Let’s raise our glasses and sing out our joy,

Living passionately, seizing our youth.

Let’s walk through this world together, living freely and boldly,

Riding the winds of life, sharing its splendor.

Let’s raise our glasses and sing out our joy,

Living passionately, seizing our youth.

Ah ah ah ah ah,

Ah ah ah,

When the sun no longer rises,

When the Earth stops spinning,

When seasons no longer change,

When all plants and trees wither away,

I still can’t part from you.

I can’t part from you.

Your smile is my deepest attachment in this life.

Let’s walk through this world together, living freely and boldly,

Riding the winds of life, sharing its splendor.

Let’s raise our glasses and sing out our joy,

Living passionately, seizing our youth.

Let’s walk through this world together, living freely and boldly,

Riding the winds of life, sharing its splendor.

Let’s raise our glasses and sing out our joy,

Living passionately, seizing our youth.

Let’s walk through this world together, living freely and boldly,

Riding the winds of life, sharing its splendor.

Let’s raise our glasses and sing out our joy,

Living passionately, seizing our youth.

Let’s walk through this world together, living freely and boldly,

Riding the winds of life, sharing its splendor.

Let’s raise our glasses and sing out our joy,

Living passionately, seizing our youth.

[Chinese]

当山峰没有棱角的时候

当河水不再流

当时间停住日夜不分

当天地万物化为虚有

我还是不能和你分手

不能和你分手

你的温柔是我今生最大的守候

当太阳不再上升的时候

当地球不再转动

当春夏秋冬不再变换

当花草树木全部凋残

我还是不能和你分散

不能和你分散

你的笑容是我今生最大的眷恋

让我们红尘作伴活得潇潇洒洒

策马奔腾共享人世繁华

对酒当歌唱出心中喜悦

轰轰烈烈把握青春年华

让我们红尘作伴活得潇潇洒洒

策马奔腾共享人世繁华

对酒当歌唱出心中喜悦

轰轰烈烈把握青春年华

啊啊啊啊啊

啊啊啊

当太阳不再上升的时候

当地球不再转动

当春夏秋冬不再变换

当花草树木全部凋残

我还是不能和你分散

不能和你分散

你的笑容是我今生最大的眷恋

让我们红尘作伴活得潇潇洒洒

策马奔腾共享人世繁华

对酒当歌唱出心中喜悦

轰轰烈烈把握青春年华

让我们红尘作伴活得潇潇洒洒

策马奔腾共享人世繁华

对酒当歌唱出心中喜悦

轰轰烈烈把握青春年华
