[English]

Let the wild flow—sweat and tears—they're just water

You're human, so you need passionate love and hate

Pour it out completely, but it’s not enough to move others

Exhaust your mind and body, still losing to some other guy

Stand tall, act mature, and endure misfortune

So that you can turn the wrong love into nourishment

If only I could kiss and say goodbye to your enemy

Drink a glass of water, recharge some fresh blood—then have that passionate kiss

Only when strong enough can you get through it

Not awake yet? Go splash some cold water

All day I only drink tears—how can tears be enough?

Feeling ashamed only makes it more tiring

Only a long life can help you get through

While healing, you should drink more water

There's no ending yet—stay and recover in place

Who says that day of happiness can't come back?

...

If that day ever talks about him, it's still a dead end

Love and hatred—if not addressed, they'll keep causing pain

It's not too late—cleanse the hatred daily

Drink more water, rush through the butterflies in your heart

Only when strong enough can you get through it

Not awake yet? Go splash some cold water

All day I only drink tears—how can tears be enough?

Feeling ashamed only makes it more tiring

Only a long life can help you get through

While healing, you should drink more water

There's no ending yet—stay and recover in place

Who says that day of happiness can't come back?

Without your lover, the world looks like ruins

Rest, drink some water, then push forward to chase again

Only remaining sweat and blood are useful—first be brave, then retreat

Life will be about all kinds of pursuits from now on

If the time isn’t right, then tomorrow—let’s go

Woo ~

Only when strong enough can you get through it

The fragile—strengthen your spine

No need to plant tears as seeds—don't grow tears from sorrow

Wallowing in self-pity is the real sin

Only a long life can help you get through

Dream seekers should drink more water

As long as you're still longing, you're not tired

Who was cast out of Eden and can’t go back?

...

[Chinese]

狂流吧 汗和淚 純屬水份

你是人 所以需要 澎湃愛恨

淋漓盡致 卻未夠感動人

抽乾身心 始終輸給某君

昂然地 扮成熟 承受不幸

以便能 將錯的愛 研製養份

如能做到 吻別你的敵人

乾一杯水 補充些新血 才熱吻

強大先可以撐過去

還未醒 請去潑冷水

全日都 只喝眼淚 怎夠眼淚

汗顏 才更累

長命先可以撐過去

痊癒中 應該多喝水

還未結局 原地康復

誰話 幸福那一天 回不去

若這天 講到他 還是死穴

愛共仇 不去解決 還會作孽

為時未晚 怨毒每天清潔

飲多杯水 衝開心底那 蝴蝶結

強大先可以撐過去

還未醒 請去潑冷水

全日都 只喝眼淚 怎夠眼淚

汗顏 才更累

長命先可以撐過去

痊癒中 應該多喝水

還未結局 原地康復

誰話 幸福那一天 回不去

愛侶沒有了 世界像廢墟

休息喝點水 再發力去追

剩下 汗血有用 先奮勇後退

生命 以後有著 各種爭取

若時辰未到 明天～去

Woo ～

強大先可以撐過去

柔弱的 加固你脊椎

無謂將 一殼眼淚 栽種眼淚

自憐才有罪

長命先可以撐過去

尋夢者 應該多喝水

還在渴望 人就不累

誰被 逐出了伊甸 回不去
