[English]

The most beautiful secret is that we are creating serendipitous encounters

Who says happiness is just a distant message from afar

Longing continues strongly, sweet dreams go on, promises persist

Growing all our memories with you

Hot tea keeps my hands warm, but it’s your words that warm my heart

Promise me a home, and surround it with my care for you

This story started alone, I seriously wrote it into us

No one turned away from this fate

You also began editing the script, adding more to my role

My original pure heart, gave you my kiss

All my life I was alone, but you insisted and we became one

We promised to wait for all our future together

Youthful vows took root, our dreams run deeper than anyone’s

Once we crossed the threshold, we’re forever family

...

The most beautiful secret is that we are creating serendipitous encounters

Who says happiness is just a distant message from afar

Longing continues strongly, sweet dreams go on, promises persist

Growing all our memories with you

Hot tea keeps my hands warm, but it’s your words that warm my heart

Promise me a home, and surround it with my care for you

This story started alone, I seriously wrote it into us

Passing through the dust of the world, no longer fearing the cold

One day leaving this city, I’ll go anywhere you are

Smiling, saying you are mine, wo

All my life I was alone, but you insisted and we became one

With a soft voice, holding hands silently

Touched eyes say you’re willing to walk into my life

Entered the door, lights turned on, we are family

Holding your hand so gentle, forever side by side

You gaze at me tenderly, saying happiness is you having me

This script started alone, I seriously wrote it into us

Passing through the dust of the world, no longer fearing the cold

One day leaving this city, I’ll go anywhere you are

Smiling, saying you are mine

All my life I was alone, but you insisted and we became one

With a soft voice, holding hands silently

Touched eyes say you’re willing to walk into my life

Entered the door, lights turned on, we are family

Looking forward to our next life, still as one family

[Chinese]

這最美的秘密 是我們都在製造巧遇

誰說幸福 只是一種 遠方的消息

思念持續著濃郁 夢甘甜下去 誓言繼續

陪妳 累積所有回憶

暖手的是熱茶 暖心的是 妳一句話

許給妳一個家 再圍上 我的牽掛

這故事 開始一個人 我認真 寫成了我們

這段緣分 沒有人轉身

妳也 開始修改劇本 加重我的戲分

初心單純 給了妳的吻

這一生 原本一個人 妳堅持 廝守成我們

所有未來 說好了一起等

青春 的誓言扎了根 願望比誰都深

過了門 永遠是 一家人

這最美的秘密 是我們都在製造巧遇

誰說幸福 只是一種 遠方的消息

思念持續著濃郁 夢甘甜下去 誓言繼續

陪妳 累積所有回憶

暖手的是熱茶 暖心的是 妳一句話

許給妳一個家 再圍上 我的牽掛

這故事 開始一個人 我認真 寫成了我們

走過紅塵 再也不怕冷

某天離開 這一座城 我去哪妳都跟

微笑的說 妳是我的人 wo

這一生 原本一個人 妳堅持 廝守成我們

卻小小聲 牽著手在默認

感動的眼神 說願意 走進我的人生

進了門 開了燈 一家人

執子之手 如此溫柔 天長地久 並肩走

妳深情 凝望著我說 幸福 是妳 有了我

這劇本 開始一個人 我認真 寫成了我們

走過紅塵 再也不怕冷

某天離開 這一座城 我去哪妳都跟

微笑的說 妳是我的人

這一生 原本一個人 妳堅持 廝守成我們

卻小小聲 牽著手在默認

感動的眼神 說願意 走進我的人生

進了門 開了燈 一家人

盼來生 依然是 一家人
