[English]

Always believed

In some corner of the world

There would be my very own

Little universe

It's you, it's you, it must be you

It's you, it's you, it really is you

It's you, it's you, if it's you

Like a small planet only able to spin

Sometimes fast, sometimes slowly drifting, drifting

Thought loneliness was the only rhythm I mastered

I've played in the galaxy alone

I've gone against the meteors alone, gone parallel with them

It's happy, but feels like something is missing

The crying rose, I met her too

The laughing fox, I encountered her too

But I never stopped, kept moving forward

My heartbeat sounds like an ensemble, Oh~~~

Who's also making a seemingly silly dream?

Whose worries are also slightly sour?

Slightly sour

Who's also looking for a certain little universe?

Who will also feel a little weightless in this world?

Whose whimsical thoughts no one understands?

No one understands

Who will be my little universe I want to protect?

It's you, it's you, it must be you

It's you, it's you, it really is you

...

It's you, it's you, if it's you

Let me see, let me meet you

What exactly is this "heartbeat" they talk about?

What is this "heartache" they talk about?

Love Love, what is Love Love?

What is this heartbreak they talk about?

I still don't understand

What is this heart blossom they talk about?

I don't quite understand either, I guess

Is it that some worries will bloom so delightfully and wonderfully painful?

The sleeping pea, I met it too

The sparkling glass slipper, I encountered it too

But I never stopped, kept moving forward

Feels like I know someone's waiting for me, Oh~~~

Who's also making a seemingly silly dream?

Whose worries are also slightly sour?

Slightly sour

Who's also looking for a certain little universe?

Who will also feel a little weightless in this world?

Whose whimsical thoughts no one understands?

No one understands

Who will be my little universe I want to protect?

Wow baby

Wow baby

Where are you still drifting?

At which intersection?

This song I'm listening to

Have you ever heard it?

Wow baby

Wow baby

When I try hard to bloom a

Beautiful firework in the sky

Will there be fireworks sparkling in your eyes?

Who's also making a seemingly silly dream?

Whose worries are also slightly sour?

Who's also looking for a certain little universe?

Who will also feel a little weightless in this world?

Whose whimsical thoughts no one understands?

No one understands

Who will be my little universe I want to protect?

It's you, it's you, it must be you

It's you, it's you, it really is you

It's you, it's you, if it's you

Let me see, let me meet you

[Chinese]

一直相信著

在世界某個角落

會有專屬於我的

小小宇宙

是你是你一定是你

是你是你真的是你

是你是你如果是你

像只會自轉的小星球

有时快有时慢慢地漂流 漂流

以为孤独是唯一擅长的节奏

一个人在银河里游玩过

一个人跟流星们逆行过 平行过

是很快乐但又像少点什么

爱哭的玫瑰 也遇见了

爱笑的狐狸 也邂逅了

却没有停下过 一直在往前走

心跳像听到了合奏 Oh~~~

谁也在做一个看来傻傻的梦

谁的心事也是微微酸的

微微酸的

谁也在寻找 某个小小的宇宙

谁也会在这个世界有些失重

谁的胡思乱想也没人懂

也没人懂

谁才会是我 想守护的小宇宙

是你 是你 一定 是你

是你 是你 真的 是你

是你 是你 如果 是你

让我 看到 让我 遇到你

他们说的心动 到底是什么

他们说的心痛 那又是什么

Love Love 什么是 Love Love

他们说心碎是什么

我还没有弄懂

他们说心花是什么

我也不是太明白 我猜

是不是有些心事 会盛开得很痛快和精彩

沉睡的豌豆 也遇见了

闪闪玻璃鞋 也邂逅了

却没有停下过 一直在往前走

像是知道有谁等我 Oh~~~

谁也在做一个看来傻傻的梦

谁的心事也是微微酸的

微微酸的

谁也在寻找 某个小小的宇宙

谁也会在这个世界有些失重

谁的胡思乱想也没人懂

也没人懂

谁才会是我 想守护的小宇宙

Wow baby

Wow baby

你还在哪里漂流

在哪个路口

我听的这一首歌

你有没有听过

Wow baby

Wow baby

当我努力在天空盛开一场

美丽的烟火

你的眼里会不会有花火在闪烁

谁也在做一个看来傻傻的梦

谁的心事也是微微酸的

谁也在寻找 某个小小的宇宙

谁也会在这个世界有些失重

谁的胡思乱想也没人懂

也没人懂

谁才会是我 想守护的小宇宙

是你 是你 一定 是你

是你 是你 真的 是你

是你 是你 如果 是你

让我 看到 让我 遇到你

• 有时快有时慢慢地漂流 漂流

  ➔ Adverbial phrase with reduplicated verb and '地'

  ➔ "慢慢地" (màn màn de) is an adverbial phrase modifying "漂流" (piāo liú). '地' connects the adjective "慢慢" (màn màn, slowly) to the verb, making it an adverb. The verb "漂流" (piāo liú, drift) is repeated for emphasis.

• 以为孤独是唯一擅长的节奏

  ➔ Subject-predicate structure with a subject complement

  ➔ In this sentence, "孤独" (gū dú, loneliness) is the subject, "是" (shì, is) is the verb, and "唯一擅长的节奏" (wéi yī shàn cháng de jiézòu, the only rhythm I'm good at) is the subject complement. The entire phrase after 是 defines or describes what loneliness is thought to be.

• 爱哭的玫瑰 也遇见了

  ➔ Topic-comment structure with 也

  ➔ "爱哭的玫瑰" (ài kū de méi guī, roses that love to cry) is the topic of the sentence, and "也遇见了" (yě yù jiàn le, also encountered) is the comment. '也' (yě, also) indicates that something similar or additional is happening.

• 却没有停下过 一直在往前走

  ➔ Use of “却” (què) to express contrast/reversal + continuous aspect

  ➔ "却" (què, but/yet) introduces a contrasting idea to what was previously mentioned. "却没有停下过" (què méi yǒu tíng xià guò) means 'but never stopped'. "一直" (yì zhí, always) indicates continuous action; "在往前走" (zài wǎng qián zǒu) is the continuous aspect (walking forward).

  ➔ Pivotal sentence with '让'

  ➔ "让" (ràng, let/allow) introduces a pivotal sentence where the object of '让' (me) also becomes the subject of the following verbs. In this case, '让 我 看到' (ràng wǒ kàn dào, let me see) and '让 我 遇到你' (ràng wǒ yù dào nǐ, let me meet you).
