[English]

Let’s add one, add one, merge again, making a pledge

If we add one more, believe things will change

Come back to the team, esteemed bricks and tiles

To resist erosion

In the fire, please come back, don’t be afraid

The rescue team isn’t just lone wolves, no sudden turn

No more blaming, every second counts

That day’s encouragement from my mother, go home, don’t fight

But too many responsibilities are placed before us

Come back and join the effort, remember the comrades of that day

No more retreat, courage still remains

I rely on my own hands to make things right

Once willingly stopped for love, gave up this path with my friends

Heart restless, a bit worried, fear the end won’t be good

Then finally stepping out from the bed, seeing smoke and haze in the distance

Wearing this warmth jacket, report back at the bridgehead

Sweep away the fire in one stroke

...

Let’s add one, add one, merge again, making a pledge

If we add one more, believe things will change

Come back to the team, esteemed bricks and tiles

To resist erosion

In the fire, please come back, don’t be afraid

The rescue team isn’t just lone wolves, no sudden turn

No more blaming, every second counts

Facing the fear together

When the fire is too fierce, unable to adapt

But after training, we’ve changed

Regret that day for not contributing, shamelessly walking away

After training, this time ready for the test

Rejoin everyone on the same front line

Looking back at yesterday, feeling proud and defiant, blaming the comrades

The fire and smoke fill the sky, cursing as we go

Today, grown up, putting away anger, speaking less, doing more

Finally, one day, we can do it, no complain, just save

No need to be impatient

The fire of longevity keeps burning, keep saving (constantly rescuing)

At the critical point, don’t turn away (night or day)

The fire of longevity keeps burning, keep fighting (unceasing struggle)

Everyone, return to the team, walk together

The fire of longevity keeps burning, keep saving (constantly rescuing)

The fire of longevity keeps burning, keep saving (night and day)

People with resolve are enough (unceasing battle)

If we can advance together, we can save ourselves

...

一加一加一再合成做注碼

若然加多一位相信事情就變化

就回隊吧 尊貴的磚瓦

去抵抗風化

火災之中請你回來別要怕

拯救隊不單槍匹馬便成就變卦

不再指罵 分秒不分岔

母親當天的勸勉 歸家不作戰

不過責任太多放於面前

再回來歸隊撲救 當天的戰友

不再退後 勇猛仍會依舊

我靠兩手去補救

曾為愛侶甘心當日停步 放棄了這班同路

心戚戚有點煩惱 怕晚節也不保

然後這天終於走出被舖 看到遠處煙和霧

背上這抗溫外套 回來橋頭報到

將火一筆掃

一加一加一再合成做注碼

若然加多一位相信事情就變化

就回隊吧 尊貴的磚瓦

去抵抗風化

火災之中請你回來別要怕

拯救隊不單槍匹馬便成就變卦

不再指罵 分秒不分岔

同面對可怕

當天火太猛 不懂得應變

不過鍛練過之後都改變

抱憾那天不貢獻 走得不要臉

經過訓練 這次迎接考驗

再與各位同陣線

回望昨天想起心內狂傲 怪責了這班同路

火跟煙滿天亂吐 謾罵著來拉倒

成熟了的今天收起狂怒 不多口只不停做

終於一天可做到 灌救何來控訴

不需多急躁

長命火就長命救（不斷地灌救）

面對關口別要走（不論夜與晝）

長命火就長命救（不斷地搏鬥）

各位歸隊同路走

長命火就長命救（不斷地灌救）

長命火就長命救（不論夜與晝）

人在志在人就夠（不斷地搏鬥）

能共進就能自救
