[English]

Young, delicate wings face the golden sun

The scenery is beautiful, the sky so wide, tempting me to steal a glance

Restless and anxious, we can't help but dream of the crown

Throwing the bat, aiming to break down the barriers in our view, the road ahead is wider

Grant me this life, give me these two eyes to explore the stars all through the night

The world is unpredictable, sometimes it makes you feel defeated and discouraged

But you refuse to give up, and your last faith will gradually awaken

May you know who you're fighting with every step, don’t worry about the hands that may shake your fate

If the outcome isn’t what you hoped for, no regrets — chase after your dreams with all you’ve got

May you see why you fight every day and night, don’t worry if others don't understand your wounds

For a dream that’s hard to hold, you say it's naive — try being naive, see how it feels

Always wear a genuine smile, believing someday you'll ride the wind

Raise your gloves, trying to touch the rainbow far away, but still missing your chance

The world is unpredictable, sometimes it makes you feel defeated and discouraged

But you refuse to give up, and your last faith will gradually awaken

May you know who you're fighting with every step, don’t worry about the hands that may shake your fate

If the outcome isn’t what you hoped for, no regrets — chase after your dreams with all you’ve got

May you see why you fight every day and night, don’t worry if others don't understand your wounds

May you believe that enduring tomorrow’s trials will reveal flocks of swallows in the sky behind you

[Chinese]

年少的纖纖翅膀 迎向這金色陽光

風景多美 天多闊 誘惑我去偷看

浮躁不安的我們 無法不憧憬桂冠

揮出的棒 想擊破 阻隔著視野的門 前路更寬

賜我這生命 給我用兩眼 長夜博覽眾星

世界捉摸不定 曾令你挫敗洩氣

但你拒絕放棄 最後信念會漸覺醒

願你知每步每步和誰奮鬪 別再憂未能動搖命運之手

若結果偏不如意 始終無悔 拚命過去追求

願你知每日每夜為何戰闘 別再憂別人未明白自己傷口

為了擁抱 難以成真的美夢 你話這是幼稚 請幼稚試一試

常掛起天真笑容 迷信有一天乘風

高舉手套 想觸碰 千里外幻變彩虹 還是撲空

世界捉摸不定 曾令你挫敗洩氣

但你拒放絕放棄 最後信念會漸覺醒

願你知每步每步和誰奮鬪 別再憂未能動搖命運之手

若結果偏不如意 始終無悔 拚命過去追求

願你知每日每夜為何戰闘 別再憂別人未明白自己傷口

願你相信 捱過明天的試煉 會在背後發現天際聚滿飛燕

LaLaLa Here Together

LaLaLa We're Together
