[English]

I really want to tell you

It's not just the sunset and the distant sea

If after today it won't come again

No need to worry about day and night changing

I really want to tell you

It's not just the stars or the mountains

Watching the sunrise and sunset, all I see is you

Unafraid even if time stops

The last night on Earth

I just want to confess to you

Using a true heart to get through the end times

Maybe without regrets

The last night on Earth

When life turns to dust

In the moment the sea kisses the sky

I'll hold your hand without hesitation and leave

The last night on Earth

I just want to confess to you

Using a true heart to get through the end times

Maybe without regrets

The last night on Earth

When life turns to dust

In the moment the sea kisses the sky

I'll hold your hand without hesitation and leave

[Chinese]

我很想对你说

不只有落日和远海

如果今天过后不会再重来

无谓 昼夜更改

我很想对你说

不只有星辰或山脉

看日出西落尽我眼中的你

无惧 时间停摆

地球最后的夜晚

我只想对你告白

用一颗真心度过末日阶段

也许 没有遗憾

地球最后的夜晚

当生命将成了尘埃

海水亲吻天空的那瞬间

我会 义无反顾的牵着你 离开

地球最后的夜晚

我只想对你告白

用一颗真心度过末日阶段

也许 没有遗憾

地球最后的夜晚

当生命将成了尘埃

海水亲吻天空的那瞬间

我会 义无反顾的牵着你 离开
