[English]

Along the way with you, we've parted a hundred times

Reaching this day feels like a miracle

Everyone says we'll be over soon, but we stumble here

Even when hitting walls

There's nowhere left to go

Still, we try everything we can

This beautiful pain of love is still a honor

Scarred and battered, yet we worked together through it all

Even if we part ways, it doesn’t bring shame

Let's have no regrets

We once set off fireworks together

And carved the brightest scars on each other

In the future, even if we love someone else

This kind of unbowed love

Can be kept or sent to the next person

Are all our past battles useless?

Rushing around, we should be able to handle it

I can't guarantee that we'll get better

Difficult times keep coming

But we're no longer afraid

Love that we can't give up anymore, we still have to love

You’ve poisoned me with romance

Even when the world mocks our sincerity, we still celebrate in pain

Just think of this story

Fate only gave me two seconds of happiness

I’d rather defy heaven and keep fighting

Endure ten more years of hardship together

The fireworks are gone, but my heart is still full

No regrets, we set off fireworks together

And etched the brightest scars on each other

In the future, even if we love others

This unbowed love

Can be kept or passed on to someone new

Are all our battles useless?

Rushing around, we should be able to handle it

I can't guarantee that we'll get better

Difficult times keep coming

But we are no longer afraid

Love without cruelty, or no love at all

The galaxy shines in stars across the sky

Deep feelings—will they last forever?

In the bright light, who fears

Have people no regrets now?

We set off fireworks together

Every drop of love feels like scattering gold

Creating this dazzling legend for us

These years weren’t wasted

Staying with you, even if I become a target

Though the fireworks turn to ashes, is the passion still burning?

Though the love story now parts, is the feeling still hot?

Ending our time together doesn’t mean love is finished

Wait for me over there, don’t be afraid

[Chinese]

沿路與你 離合百次

捱到這天 實屬奇事

人人話我們 很快完 卻跌撞至此

就算碰壁

無路再去

仍盡法子

榮耀這苦戀 不失美事

千瘡百孔 一起努力過

分手雖痛 仍不可恥

無憾了吧

一起燒過煙花

並互相劃上 最燦爛那傷疤

日後我們 即使愛別人

這種不低頭

留著也可 轉送下個他

多災的戰績 完全無用嗎

風風火火 早會招架

不敢擔保 會好起來

難事繼續難

但已經 不再害怕

無力再愛 還是要愛

和你已給 浪漫荼毒

虔誠被世人 嘲笑時 也痛著慶祝

就當這故事

命運本給我 兩秒鐘幸福

寧逆了蒼天 狠狠繼續

一起再苦 都撐了十歲

煙火熄了 仍該心足

無憾了吧 一起燒過煙花

並互相劃上 最燦爛那傷疤

日後我們 即使愛別人

這種不低頭

留著也可 轉送下個他

多災的戰績 完全無用嗎

風風火火 早會招架

不敢擔保 會好起來

難事繼續難

但已經 不再害怕

不狠的愛 不戀也罷

銀河美在 星光四灑

情濃毋問 會永續嗎

強光中蒸發 誰害怕

人無憾了吧

一起燒過煙花

滴滴都是愛 似撒下了金沙

煉造我們 這璀燦傳奇

不枉這些年

陪著你 也不顧做箭靶

煙花雖化灰 餘情還是很熾熱嗎

情路雖於 這𥚃分岔

相處盡頭 並不是 戀愛盡頭

在那邊 等我 別怕
