[English]

If you want me to live, let me live with hope

I’m never afraid of loving wrong, just afraid of never loving

If there’s a day I can return to glory once more

Remember to find me, my good friend

...

No need for chaos, five hundred years or twenty years is enough

Only after experiencing pain and loss do I realize how to live

The same crew has traveled half the world, what kind of followers do we need?

After greed, anger, and ignorance are eliminated, we start anew

Taking off again, the golden staff doesn’t rust

Having stood at the peak, still waiting for someone to chatter

In the second half of life’s battle, brothers plot to do it again

Deciding to be bold and cause a ruckus in the heavenly palace

The vision is broader than before, arguing trivialities with you

No need for definitions of partners and friends

We’ve closed our eyes for a second journey to the West

Those deserts and oases finally understand how to debug

No matter the iron fan or bull demon, they support me from behind

I can no longer understand the tightening spell, brothers won’t let you embarrass yourself

The smoke of battle hasn’t decayed, this move is fiercer than before

Every difficulty is overcome, no longer naive, no longer reckless

Being able to break through is still nostalgic, the super Saiyan version of me

You have your thoughts, I have my beautiful dreams

But after reuniting, we can definitely defeat loneliness

If you want me to live, let me live with hope

I’m never afraid of loving wrong, just afraid of never loving

If there’s a day I can return to glory once more

Remember to find me, my good friend

...

The great sage has returned, I have clones, are five enough?

The magic staff in hand, unafraid of mockery

Even if only the spirit remains, it still surpasses fire and wind

Outwardly mature, but still housing an unyielding young beast inside

Haven’t fulfilled many dreams yet, but the passion hasn’t diminished

Different thoughts converge like rivers, yielding different fruits

Breaking through the firmament, facing more tests, reversing and attacking again

We’re catching the wind, we’re brave, let’s see how many whirlpools we can pass

Time and space are severed, no need to reminisce with old photos

Now let’s take a new picture, not a single one missing, the team spirit still roars

Nature can’t compete with us, enlightenment still follows Wukong

No regrets, keep the faith, we all start anew

I can no longer understand the tightening spell, brothers won’t let you embarrass yourself

The smoke of battle hasn’t decayed, this move is fiercer than before

Every difficulty is overcome, no longer naive, no longer reckless

Being able to break through is still nostalgic, the super Saiyan version of me

You have a vast perspective, I have my own paradise

But after reuniting, we can definitely defeat loneliness

If you want me to live, let me live with hope

I’m never afraid of loving wrong, just afraid of never loving

If there’s a day I can return to glory once more

Remember to find me, my good friend

...

If you want me to live, please give me joy and pain

I’m never afraid of loving wrong, just afraid of never loving

If there’s a day I can return to glory once more

Remember to find me, my good friend

No matter the beginning or the end, we’re on a second journey to the West

Hurry up and keep up, we’re about to return to glory

No matter the beginning or the end, we’re on a second journey to the West

Hurry up and keep up, we’re about to return to glory

No matter the beginning or the end, we’re on a second journey to the West

Hurry up and keep up, we’re about to return to glory

No matter the beginning or the end, we’re on a second journey to the West

Hurry up and keep up, we’re about to return to glory

...

[Chinese]

如果要讓我活 讓我有希望的活

我從不怕愛錯 就怕沒愛過

如果能有一天 再一次重返光榮

記得找我 我的好朋友

不用兵荒馬亂 五百年20年就夠

經歷病痛失去擁有 才頓悟怎麼活

原班人馬 繞了半個世界 需要什麼信眾

貪嗔痴都消滅之後 我們再從頭

再起飛的觔斗 金箍棒不生鏽

站過頂峰 還是等待誰能來囉嗦

人生下半場戰鬥 兄弟們密謀再做

決定樹大招風 再來大鬧天宮

視野比以前廣闊 較真廢話陪你霍

不用名詞定義夥伴朋友

我們二次西遊閉眼過

那些沙漠綠洲 終於懂得怎麼除錯

管它鐵扇牛魔 背後撐住我

已經聽不懂緊箍咒 兄弟淘不會讓你糗

硝煙戰將沒有腐朽 這招比以前還凶

關關難過關關過 不再懵懂不再潑猴

能夠突破還算念舊 超級賽亞版本的我

你有你的想法 我有我的美夢

但再聚首之後 就一定能打敗寂寞

如果要讓我活 讓我有希望的活

我從不怕愛錯 就怕沒愛過

如果能有一天 再一次重返光榮

記得找我 我的好朋友

大聖歸來嘍 我有分身 五個夠不夠

定海神針 握在手中不怕人嘲諷

就算只剩氣魄 還是凌駕火與風

外表熟透 心裡還住著 不服氣幼獸

還沒圓幾個夢 但熱血沒少過

幾種思考 百川匯流結出不一樣的果

打破蒼穹 再多考驗 逆轉再攻

我們起風 我們矯勇 看我們過幾個漩渦

時空被剪斷 不用拿舊照片念舊

現在再拍一張 一個不少 團魂還是吼

物競天擇不了我們 悟淨還是跟著悟空

沒有悔恨 保持信念 我們大家再重頭

已經聽不懂緊箍咒 兄弟淘不會讓你糗

硝煙戰將沒有腐朽 這招比以前還凶

關關難過關關過 不再懵懂不再潑猴

能夠突破還算念舊 超級賽亞版本的我

你格局天地遼闊 我有我的花果

但再聚首之後 就一定能打敗寂寞

如果要讓我活 讓我有希望的活

我從不怕愛錯 就怕沒愛過

如果能有一天 再一次重返光榮

記得找我 我的好朋友

如果要讓我活 請給我快樂苦痛

我從不怕愛錯 就怕沒愛過

如果當有一天 再一次重返光榮

記得找我 我的好朋友

不管最初最後 我們二次西遊

腳步快點跟上 就要重返光榮

不管最初最後 我們二次西遊

腳步快點跟上 我們就要重返光榮

不管最初最後 我們二次西遊

腳步快點跟上 就要重返光榮

不管最初最後 我們二次西遊

腳步快點跟上 我們就要重返光榮
