[English]

Walking through wind and rain, seeing highs and lows

You remain quietly silent, like a child gazing at the stars

Reading your eyes, I understand everything clearly

Reluctant to pollute the world, you explore human nature on your own

Fate brought us together, maybe it's to make you believe

Everything you've doubted, I prove with my presence

I've decided, just for you, to be brave and stubborn for you

Even if the world turns against me or I make mistakes, what’s there to fear?

Someday, all of this will become memories

All the storms and rain will become part of life's scenery

Just for you, to be brave and stubborn for you

Even if the world is against me or I mess up, what’s there to fear?

Even if in the end everyone turns against me

I will never regret loving you wholeheartedly

Loving you and standing by you

I've loved your rebelliousness

...

This world may be shattered, but I sew it up for you

The current chaos will become bits and pieces of memories

I want to live like jagged gravel, smashing shadows for you

Then refined into flawless glass, reflecting dazzling light

Even if I lose everything, I’ll break norms for you

Like wings that refuse gravity with wild rebellion

I’ve decided, just for you, to be brave and stubborn for you

Even if the world turns against me or I make mistakes, what’s there to fear?

Someday, all of this will turn into memories

All the storms and rain will become part of life's scenery

Just for you, to be brave and stubborn for you

Even if the world is against me or I mess up, what’s there to fear?

Even if everyone ends up against me in the end

I will never regret loving you wholeheartedly

...

I’ve decided, just for you, to be brave and stubborn for you

Even if the world turns against me or I make mistakes, what’s there to fear?

Someday, all this will turn into memories

All the storms and rain will become part of life's scenery

Just for you, to be brave and stubborn for you

Even if the world is against me or I mess up, what’s there to fear?

Even if everyone ends up against me

I will never regret loving you wholeheartedly

Loving you and standing by you

I've loved your rebellious spirit

...

[Chinese]

走過了風風雨雨 看過了高高低低

你始終安安靜靜 像孩子仰望星星

閱讀過你的眼睛 才懂得一覽無遺

捨不得混濁人間 你獨自闖蕩人性

命運讓我們相遇 也許是要你相信

所有你曾經懷疑有我證明

我決定 就為了你 為了你勇敢任性

世界再對 我再錯 又有何懼?

總有一天這一切變成回憶

所有風雨都會是人生風景

就為了你 為了你勇敢任性

世界再對 我再錯 又有何懼?

就算最後所有人與我為敵

也不後悔全心全意深愛過你

哄著你 陪著你

我曾愛過你的任性

這世界破破爛爛 為了你縫縫釘釘

此刻的轟轟烈烈都會是點點滴滴

想活成鏗鏘砂礫 去為你擊碎陰影

再煉成無瑕琉璃 折射出璀璨光影

即使要失去所有 也為你叛道離經

像最桀驁的翅膀拒絕引力

我決定 就為了你 為了你勇敢任性

世界再對 我再錯 又有何懼?

總有一天這一切變成回憶

所有風雨都會是人生風景

就為了你 為了你勇敢任性

世界再對 我再錯 又有何懼?

就算最後所有人與我為敵

也不後悔全心全意深愛過你

我決定 就為了你 為了你 勇敢任性

世界再對 我再錯 又有何懼?

總有一天這一切變成回憶

所有風雨都會是人生風景

就為了你 為了你勇敢任性

世界再對 我再錯 又有何懼?

就算最後所有人與我為敵

也不後悔全心全意深愛過你

哄著你 陪著你

我曾愛過你的任性
