[English]

Can I change my fate?

To meet you again

Is the end of the story already destined?

There's no way to stop it

Actually, I don't care about all the challenges, I try my best

Climbing the peaks thousands of times

The road is full of thorns

I didn't mind

Even if I've been hurt countless times

I would still be willing

...

Looking back to the beginning

In the darkness, a tense collision

Thunder strikes, crossing at a moment

Anxious expressions, panic

Still amazed and hesitant

Then at some moment

In silence, a simple gaze

Then it developed, gradually getting closer

Facing dangers together

You will still guide me

Though the journey is full of obstacles

Problems or changes

Are no longer scary, let's go

Can I change my fate?

To meet you again

Is the end of the story already destined?

There's no way to stop it

Actually, I don't care about all the challenges, I try my best

Climbing the peaks thousands of times

The road is full of thorns

I didn't mind

Even if I've been hurt countless times

I would still be willing

...

Fearless of oppression, changing in reversal

Fearless of oppression, changing in reversal

I just want to stay by your side

To walk with you every day, continuing the performance

Wrestling with you side by side

Fighting together, no longer timid

...

Can I change my fate?

To meet you again

Is the end of the story already destined?

There's no way to stop it

Actually, I don't care about all the challenges, I try my best

Climbing the peaks thousands of times

The road is full of thorns

I didn't mind

Even if I've been hurt countless times

I would still be willing

Not afraid of falling into a terrifying whirlpool

Fearless and tireless, just relying on our fire

Even if this is a disaster

Bleeding won't hurt

Not afraid of the ups and downs

Breaking through the limits, asking who can stop us

You are my hope for living

Hoping one day to return to the beginning

...

Can I break free from fate?

To meet you many times

Not yet promised to meet you in the next life

The dream has turned to smoke

No matter how many times I have to reincarnate

The dashed line with you remains unchanged

When fate ends, there will be another chance

Next time, and the next

Even if I've been hurt countless times

I would still be willing

Scattered and gathered, destiny has its meaning

...

Love is also sincere

...

[Chinese]

難道我可以扭轉宿命

重遇你一次

難道故事終結早已註定

沒法制止

其實我不理一切挑戰拼命試

攀險峰千次萬次

沿路滿地佈著剌

也沒有在意

即使傷過無數次

仍會願意

回望最初

漆黑裡緊張的碰撞

雷電重擊 在一刻交錯

不安神情驚慌

還覺驚嘆徬徨

然後某刻

靜默時簡單的對望

然後發展 逐漸的交往

凶險齊來抵擋

還會給我護航

縱路途滿是困阻

問題或變化

不再可怕 去吧

難道我可以扭轉宿命

重遇你一次

難道故事終結早已註定

沒法制止

其實我不理一切挑戰拼命試

攀險峰千次萬次

沿路滿地佈著剌

也沒有在意

即使傷過無數次

仍會願意

無懼壓迫 逆轉中改變

無懼壓迫 逆轉中改變

只想停留身边

和你走每一天繼續上演

角力憑你在並肩

共同地奮戰 不再膽怯

難道我可以扭轉宿命

重遇你一次

難道故事終結早已註定

沒法制止

其實我不理一切挑戰拼命試

攀險峰千次萬次

沿路滿地佈著剌

也沒有在意

即使傷過無數次

仍會願意

不怕跌入 恐怖漩渦

不懼不累就憑團火

那怕這是禍

滴血都不會痛

未怕跌蕩

衝破界限問誰能阻

你是我活著的希望

盼望有日會回到最初

難道我可以擺脫宿命

重遇你多次

還沒跟你相約他世再會

夢已化煙

無論要經過轉世千次百萬次

跟你的虛線 不變

緣盡了又有下次

再下次下次

即使傷過無數次

仍會願意

離散聚天意有含意

情也是真摰
