[English]

Sweat flows for the pursuit of a beautiful dream

Like a river, endlessly blooming, radiating heat and light

Sometimes sweat makes you feel completely exhausted

Occasionally it can be discouraging, but after it evaporates, a cool breeze comes to refresh

Hot buttons, damp clothes, all accompanied by these hardworking hands

Carrying passion and resonance, soaking into our skin as we call out

Drops of water connect pain and joy, weaving a lifetime of longing and heartbeat

Sweat lines bring change to an ordinary life

Drops of water link suffering and happiness, intertwining brightness and disappointment

In every drop, we find the meaning of living together

Tears shed from falling and rising

Hard to fix, once gone, the hourglass can't be stopped

Sometimes tears make us feel guilty

Sometimes it drives us crazy, days gradually revealing gaps

Hot buttons, soaked clothes, all accompanying these fighting hands

With passion and resonance, penetrating our skin as we call out

Drops of water connect pain and joy, weaving a lifetime of longing and heartbeat

Tears pave the way for change in an ordinary life

Drops of water link suffering and happiness, intertwining brilliance and disappointment

In every drop, we carry each other's meaning

With passion and resonance, spreading through skin as we call out

Drops of water connect pain and joy, weaving a lifetime of longing and heartbeat

Bringing change to an ordinary life

Drops of water link suffering and happiness, intertwining brilliance and disappointment

In every drop, life’s meaning is found in each other

[Chinese]

汗 為美夢而流動

如川流 生生不息地綻放發熱發光

汗 偶爾會令人倦透

偶爾會令人沮喪 待蒸發過後有清風送爽

熱燙的鈕扣 沾濕的衣褸 伴隨這對奮鬥雙手

帶著熱情帶著共鳴 滲透了髮膚擦響呼聲

水點將苦與樂連結 交織一生渴望與心跳

汗線 為平凡命裡釋出改變

水點將苦與樂連結 交織風光燦爛與失意

點滴裡 活著有彼此的意義

淚 為跌蕩而流露

難補救 過去了也難停住沙漏

淚 偶爾會令人內疚

偶爾會令人瘋狂 日子會一天一天找到缺口

熱燙的鈕扣 沾濕的衣褸 伴隨這對奮鬥雙手

帶著熱情帶著共鳴 滲透了髮膚擦響呼聲

水點將苦與樂連結 交織一生渴望與心跳

淚線 為平凡命裡釋出改變

水點將苦與樂連結 交織風光燦爛與失意

點滴裡 背負了彼此的意義

帶著熱情帶著共鳴 滲透了髮膚擦響呼聲

水點將苦與樂連結 交織一生渴望與心跳

為平凡命裡釋出改變

水點將苦與樂連結 交織風光燦爛與失意

點滴裡 活著有彼此的意義
