Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

每當我下定決心放手一搏孤注一擲

Whenever I decide to go all out and take the biggest risk

身旁總有太多阻礙企圖全力阻止

There are always too many obstacles trying to stop me

每當我下定決心衝破攔阻跨越艱難

Whenever I resolve to break through and cross the tough times

就要去試著忘記我曾不可一世

I try to forget that I was once invincible

重頭再走過一次來證明我不只如此

Start over again to prove I am more than that

重來不是否定自己曾寫下的故事

Reviving doesn’t mean denying the stories I’ve written

留著你不太喜歡不太習慣的長頭髮

Keeping the long hair you don’t quite like or get used to

這不是改變 而是原本我的樣子

This isn’t about change; it’s about being true to who I am

Oh 哭有時 oh 笑有時

Oh, crying sometimes, oh, laughing sometimes

失敗也有時

Failures happen too

或許不會 只有一次

Maybe only once in a lifetime

失敗的高歌 是一種特別的權利

The rebellious song of failure is a kind of special right

失敗總是 重來總是

Failure always comes back, and so does trying again

要讓每次 都當做是

Making every time feel like

最後機會 放手一次

The last chance, to let go once more

所以我高歌 這是個特別的定律

So I sing loudly—this is a special rule

即使風浪 漫過我身

Even if the storms pass over me

現在我是 仍在堅持

I still persist now

問心無愧 再試一次

Sincerely, I try one more time

...

最後機會 放手一次

The last chance, to let go once more

失敗也高歌 這是我獨有的權利

Even failure can be sung out loud—this is my unique right

並非只是 為了掌聲

Not just for applause

誰在為我 譜寫輓歌

Someone is writing a mournful song for me

再難也等候 勝利的號角聲

Even when it's tough, I wait for the victory trumpets to sound

...
