[English]

In the sea of people, hundreds of kinds of love

Why must we hold hands to show it? Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa

I’ll take you away, sit in my car, if the outside’s so crowded

Like 70 meters ahead, around the corner, another sky awaits

Break through a streak of light, reach the other side of the world

Hide you, hide me, look in the rearview mirror — still not overwhelmed

Look outside along the way, it’s love blooming everywhere

And I have a secret, and it’s harmless

Sunset rushes by, listening to songs, watching the sea

Kissing until it’s impossible to reveal

No one recognizes inside the car — it’s your cuteness

You truly do exist

Driving after love, I go at full speed

Behind the love road, colors hide

A dinner set without chance to set the table, ha-ha

Paper bags and boxes, just as usual, hoo-whoa-whoa-hoo-whoa

No alcohol, but there are stars

And your pair of eyes

Love has no straight line, shouted along with the engine

Turning together hand in hand

Look outside along the way, it’s love blooming everywhere

And I have a secret, and it’s harmless

Sunset rushes by, listening to songs, watching the sea

Kissing until it’s impossible to reveal

No one recognizes inside the car — it’s your cuteness

You truly do exist

Driving after love, I go at full speed

Colors hide behind the love road

How many days and distant shores — can love do without navigation?

Holding you everywhere, caring for you anywhere

Step out of the car, take a look

So vast and empty

Look outside along the way, it’s love under the blazing sun

And I have a secret, and it’s harmless

Sunset rushes by, listening to songs, watching the sea

Kissing until it’s impossible to reveal

Covered by black glass

I love you, just as you expected

Driving after love, I go at full speed

Colors hide behind the love road

...

[Chinese]

人潮中的戀愛幾百種 ha

為何必須手拖手示眾? Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa

我帶你走 坐我車 若外界這麼擠擁

如前方 70米 轉角有另一幅天空

穿過一線光 開到世間的對岸

藏下你 藏下我 從後鏡裏看看 還未泡湯

沿途望出車外 是盛放的戀愛

而我有個秘密亦無害

落日飛馳 聽歌看海

接吻接到無法公開

無人認出車內 是你的可愛

你也確確實實存在

戀後駕駛 讓我最高速的開

情路背後藏異彩

無緣鋪好枱布的晚餐 ha-ha

拿來紙袋紙盒一樣慣 hoo-whoa-whoa-hoo-whoa

沒有酒 但是有星

亦有你的一雙眼

愛 無直線 隨着引擎叫喊

攜手轉彎

沿途望出車外 是盛放的戀愛

而我有個秘密亦無害

落日飛馳 聽歌看海

接吻接到無法公開

無人認出車內 是你的可愛

你也確確實實存在

戀後駕駛 讓我最高速的開

情路背後藏異彩

幾多天邊海角 愛可否不用導航

隨地抱着你 隨地照顧着你

走出車看看

如此空曠

沿途望出車外 是暴曬的戀愛

而我有個秘密亦無害

落日飛馳 聽歌看海

接吻接到無法公開

由黑玻璃遮蓋

我愛你 你預料之內

戀後駕駛 讓我最高速的開

情路背後藏異彩
