世界大得不可以 去擁抱 The world is too vast to just embrace 00:16
你腳印又小得轉眼 散失於命數 Your footprints are so small they vanish in an instant with fate 00:24
若有天 這副賣相腐化於塵土 If someday this worn-out look turns to dust and decay 00:31
可有一分半秒值得我去 自豪 Is there a half-second worth my pride in what I’ve achieved 00:37
奮鬥倦得非獎品 可鼓舞 Struggling so hard that rewards don’t matter, but still inspiring 00:49
那半個睡房非絲絨被鋪可彌補 That half room can’t be made right with velvet sheets 00:57
知我未夠好 一世人最硬朗或崇高 Knowing I’m not enough, being strong or noble all my life 01:03
原來是不想你等 趕到了病倒也沒遲到 Turns out I didn’t want you to wait—getting sick doesn’t mean you’re late 01:09
回憶這理想 不夠理想 Memories of this dream? Not quite enough 01:18
沿途逛世間一趟只有向上 Traveling through the world only moving upward 01:22
關注遠方得到讚賞 Seeking distant praise and admiration 01:25
但是我哭以巴開火很牽強 But crying out loud just feels forced and unnatural 01:29
只因想到我們開仗 Just because I think about us fighting 01:33
也因不懂去包容才留遺恨在雪上 And because I don’t know how to forgive, leaving regrets in the snow 01:36
是否不記得一個你才有獎 Have you forgotten that only you can win a prize 01:41
是否只記得所有世人才會不記得我倆 Or is it that forgetting everyone else makes me forget us both 01:44
你送贈的非積蓄 買得到 What you give isn’t just savings, it’s something you can buy 02:04
你遠去目光非廣闊 眼光可望到 Your distant gaze isn’t broad enough; hopes can reach beyond 02:11
將志願托高 高到奉獻沒有問回報 Raise your dreams high—dedication without asking for anything back 02:18
忘掉沒私心去披星再載月積雪為誰掃 Forget selfishly—wearing stars and carrying the moon, sweeping snow for whom? 02:24
回憶這理想 不夠理想 沿途逛世間一趟只有向上 Memories of this dream? Not quite enough — traveling the world only upward 02:33
關注遠方得到讚賞 但是我哭戰火哭得很牽強 Seeking distant praise, but I cry out during the fire, feeling forced 02:40
只因想到我們開仗 也因不懂去包容才留遺恨在雪上 Just because I think about us fighting, and not knowing how to forgive, regrets turn to snow 02:48
問心只妄想跟你快樂牧羊 憑這成就到老去亦安詳 In my heart, only dreaming of joyful shepherding with you, content to grow old in this 02:55
談戀愛也許不算理想 為諾貝爾獎出發先算漂亮 Falling in love might not seem ideal, but aiming for a Nobel might look special 03:03
光環無論為誰發亮 但是再不會聽到你拍掌 Whether the halo shines for whom, I’ll never hear you applaud again 03:10
不枉這生需按照誰方向 每一天都有所為才能毋負過晚上 Living this life according to someone’s plan, every day doing something right, so night’s not wasted 03:17
是否花瓣鋪得更遠便更香 Do flower petals spread further, do they smell sweeter? 03:25
是否不記得戀愛我便忘記 呼吸早缺氧 If I forget love, do I forget everything? Breathing feels short of oxygen 03:29

[English]
世界大得不可以 去擁抱
The world is too vast to just embrace
你腳印又小得轉眼 散失於命數
Your footprints are so small they vanish in an instant with fate
若有天 這副賣相腐化於塵土
If someday this worn-out look turns to dust and decay
可有一分半秒值得我去 自豪
Is there a half-second worth my pride in what I’ve achieved
奮鬥倦得非獎品 可鼓舞
Struggling so hard that rewards don’t matter, but still inspiring
那半個睡房非絲絨被鋪可彌補
That half room can’t be made right with velvet sheets
知我未夠好 一世人最硬朗或崇高
Knowing I’m not enough, being strong or noble all my life
原來是不想你等 趕到了病倒也沒遲到
Turns out I didn’t want you to wait—getting sick doesn’t mean you’re late
回憶這理想 不夠理想
Memories of this dream? Not quite enough
沿途逛世間一趟只有向上
Traveling through the world only moving upward
關注遠方得到讚賞
Seeking distant praise and admiration
但是我哭以巴開火很牽強
But crying out loud just feels forced and unnatural
只因想到我們開仗
Just because I think about us fighting
也因不懂去包容才留遺恨在雪上
And because I don’t know how to forgive, leaving regrets in the snow
是否不記得一個你才有獎
Have you forgotten that only you can win a prize
是否只記得所有世人才會不記得我倆
Or is it that forgetting everyone else makes me forget us both
你送贈的非積蓄 買得到
What you give isn’t just savings, it’s something you can buy
你遠去目光非廣闊 眼光可望到
Your distant gaze isn’t broad enough; hopes can reach beyond
將志願托高 高到奉獻沒有問回報
Raise your dreams high—dedication without asking for anything back
忘掉沒私心去披星再載月積雪為誰掃
