[English]

I’ve also experienced having and losing.

...

Walking through the cold and warm seasons, experiencing ups and downs.

Can someone tell me, what does the future hold?

Where should I go to truly feel alive and see the wonder?

I’m just a girl searching for my path.

Trying hard to find my own way.

...

Let me have wild, free spirit.

Let me escape the mundane life, never backing down.

The love I want,

Even if it’s far away,

One day soon,

I’ll be able to love all this.

Let me embrace

The wounds I once hated.

At least I can still feel.

That’s what keeps me moving forward.

When I want to fly,

Sky, don’t regret or apologize for the future.

I want you to belong to me.

...

I desire so much,

That I can’t settle for less.

...

I laugh and cry,

Staring coldly at loneliness.

...

Still, I’ll spend my life exploring.

Following the waves straight to the horizon.

Let me have wild, free spirit.

Let me escape the mundane life, never backing down.

The love I want,

Even if it’s far away,

One day soon,

I’ll be able to love all this.

Let me embrace

The wounds I once hated.

At least I can still feel.

That’s what keeps me moving forward.

When I want to fly,

Sky, don’t regret or apologize for the future.

...

I want you to belong to me.

...

I want you to belong to me.

...

Let me have wild, free spirit.

Let me escape the mundane life, never backing down.

When I want to fly,

Looking up, I see the blue sky.

In the future, I want you to be mine.

...

[Chinese]

我也曾擁有也曾失去過

穿過冷暖四季體驗著起落

有誰能告訴我那未來

該往哪去才算擁有精彩

我只是一個在找尋的女孩

努力想找到屬於我的路

讓我擁有狂放的自由

讓我逃離平庸的生活 絕不退縮

我想要的愛

儘管離得遙遠

總會有一天

能喜歡這一切

讓我去擁抱

曾經痛恨的傷口

至少我還有感覺

支撐我往前走

當我想要飛

天空你別遺憾的說抱歉未來

我想要你屬於我

想要的太多

不能只是將就

我笑著哭著

冷眼望著寂寞

也要用盡生命去探索

跟隨海浪直奔向盡頭

讓我擁有狂放的自由

讓我逃離平庸的生活 絕不退縮

我想要的愛

儘管離得遙遠

總會有一天

能喜歡這一切

讓我去擁抱

曾經痛恨的傷口

至少我還有感覺

支撐我往前走

當我想要飛

天空你別遺憾的說抱歉未來

我想要你屬於我

我想要你屬於我

讓我擁有狂放的自由

讓我逃離平庸的生活 絕不退縮

當我想要飛

抬頭即是蔚藍的天

未來我要你屬於我
