[English]

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

I'm never afraid of loving wrong, only afraid of never having loved

If there's a day when we can return to glory once more

Remember to find me, my good friends

...

No need for chaos and war, five hundred years, twenty years will suffice

Only after experiencing sickness, pain, loss, and gain, did we realize how to truly live

The original crew, having circled half the world, what kind of followers do we need?

After greed, anger, and ignorance are all extinguished, we'll start anew

Our somersault cloud takes flight again, the Golden-Hooped Staff won't rust

Having stood at the peak, we're still waiting for someone to come and nag us

The battle in the second half of life, brothers secretly plan to do it again

Deciding to embrace the attention, we'll stir up trouble in the Heavenly Palace once more

Our vision is broader than before, we'll seriously engage and cut through your nonsense

No need for titles to define companions or friends

Our Second Journey to the West, we'll get through it with our eyes closed

Those deserts and oases, we finally understand how to debug

Who cares about the Iron Fan Princess or the Bull Demon King, just support me from behind

We no longer understand the Headband Spell, our brothers won't let you be embarrassed

The battle-hardened warriors haven't decayed, this move is fiercer than before

We overcome every obstacle, no longer ignorant, no longer a mischievous monkey

To be able to break through is still a nod to the past, the Super Saiyan version of me

You have your ideas, I have my beautiful dreams

But after we reunite, we will surely defeat loneliness

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

I'm never afraid of loving wrong, only afraid of never having loved

If there's a day when we can return to glory once more

Remember to find me, my good friends

...

The Great Sage returns! I have clones, are five enough?

The Sea-Pacifying Needle, held in hand, unafraid of ridicule

Even if only spirit remains, we still transcend fire and wind

Mature on the outside, but inside still lives an unconvinced young beast

Haven't fulfilled many dreams yet, but our passion hasn't diminished

Different ways of thinking, like a hundred rivers converging, bearing unique fruit

Breaking through the firmament, no matter how many more trials, we'll reverse and attack again

We raise the wind, we are valiant, watch us navigate through several whirlpools

Time and space are cut, no need to dwell on old memories with old photos

Now let's take another picture, not one less, the team spirit still roars

Natural selection can't defeat us, Wujing still follows Wukong

No regrets, maintaining faith, all of us will start anew

We no longer understand the Headband Spell, our brothers won't let you be embarrassed

The battle-hardened warriors haven't decayed, this move is fiercer than before

We overcome every obstacle, no longer ignorant, no longer a mischievous monkey

To be able to break through is still a nod to the past, the Super Saiyan version of me

Your vision encompasses the vast world, I have my Flower-Fruit Mountain

But after we reunite, we will surely defeat loneliness

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

I'm never afraid of loving wrong, only afraid of never having loved

If there's a day when we can return to glory once more

Remember to find me, my good friends

...

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

I'm never afraid of loving wrong, only afraid of never having loved

If there's a day when we can return to glory once more

Remember to find me, my good friends

No matter beginning or end, this is our Second Journey to the West

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

No matter beginning or end, this is our Second Journey to the West

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

No matter beginning or end, this is our Second Journey to the West

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

No matter beginning or end, this is our Second Journey to the West

Hurry 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
