[English]

Do you know?

I really like the feeling of holding your hand

What's it like?

I really hope to experience it again

The person who knows how to make me smile

No one is more talented than you

Easily breaking into my heart

You complete my beautiful dreams for tomorrow

The entire universe, the boundless end

Every tiny planet revolves around you

Loving me, it has to be you

I only want to protect the happiness you give me

Loving me, it has to be you

Maybe I'll cry with a smile, but since it's you, I'm not afraid of suffering

The person who knows how to make me cry

Must give the deepest feelings

Leaving scars in my heart

You light up the stars at the same time

The entire universe, the boundless end

Every tiny planet revolves around you

Loving me, it has to be you

I only want to protect the happiness you give me

Loving me, it has to be you

Maybe I'll cry with a smile, but since it's you, I'm not afraid of suffering

So many encounters

But only with you, a miracle happens as if destined by fate

Oh---the cracks in my heart

I think, besides you, no one can fill this emptiness

Loving me, it has to be you

I only want to protect the happiness you give me

Oh, loving me, it has to be you

Maybe I'll cry with a smile, but since it's you, I'm not afraid of suffering

Since it's you, I'm not afraid of suffering

Woo---not afraid of suffering, oh--

...

[Chinese]

你知道嗎

我很喜歡牽著你的手的感覺

那是什麼樣子

好希望再來一次

懂得讓我微笑的人

再沒有誰比你有天份

輕易闖進我的心門

明天的美夢你完成

整個宇宙 浩瀚無邊的盡頭

每顆渺小星球 全都繞著你走

愛我 非你莫屬

我只願守護 由你給我的幸福

愛我 非你莫屬

也許會 笑著哭 但那人是你所以 不怕苦

懂得讓我流淚的人

給的感動一定是最深

在我心中留下傷痕

你同時點亮了星辰

整個宇宙 浩瀚無邊的盡頭

每顆渺小星球 全都繞著你走

愛我 非你莫屬

我只願守護 由你給我的幸福

愛我 非你莫屬

也許會 笑著哭 但那人是你所以 不怕苦

那麼多相遇

偏偏只和你 天造地設般產生奇蹟

喔---我心的縫隙

我想除了你 任誰也無法填補這空虛

愛我 非你莫屬

我只願守護 由你給我的幸福

哦 愛我 非你莫屬

也許會 笑著哭 但那人是你所以 不怕苦

那個人是你所以 不怕苦

嗚---不怕苦 哦--
