[English]

In the endless moments, filled with shouts at midnight

Where are we at seventeen?

Before the future unfolds, we hope and fear getting hurt

It's me, and you, and you, talking about dreams, sharing wishes

After all the coming and going, three special languages emerge

Heaven chose us, forming a circle

Between the rising and falling tides, the world that surrounds me

Picking up many moments, so harmonious, so seamless

In the river of time, I’m meant to be with you

Metaphors of fate come together to form a song

That’s us, from our innocent youth

Growing into the most important people

Maybe we've gone through gatherings and partings

Maybe we've been doubted and questioned

But our lives keep extending

More memories keep being born

...

Da-la, da-la

Da-la-la-da-la-la

Da-la-da-la

Oh, na-na-la-da-la

Our seventeen years

Our feelings aren't just news

There are also people around you who cherish you

That’s us, (that’s us) wishing you all the best

Understanding (understanding), the joy of living (the joy of living, whoa)

Maybe we've gone through gatherings and partings

Maybe we've been doubted and questioned

But our lives keep extending

More memories keep being born

Together, we've shared half of our lives

Companionship only grows deeper

Maybe we've gone through gatherings and partings

Maybe we've been doubted and questioned

But our lives keep extending

More memories keep being born (ho, whoa)

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Walking together all the way to eternity

And we invite you to witness with us

...

[Chinese]

在無窮無盡之間 充滿吶喊的子夜

十七歲的我們 在哪邊

在未來攤開之前 期待又怕受傷害

是我 和你和你 說著夢想 說著心願

在有來有往之後 三種特別的語言

上天選了我們 圍成圈

在潮起潮落之間 將我環繞的世界

拾起 許多情節 如此和諧 如此無間

時間的長河 我非你們不可

緣分的比喻 匯流成一首歌

那是我們 從還懵懂的青春

變成 最重要的人

也許經歷過聚散和離分 (也許經歷過聚散離分)

也許嘗受過懷疑眼神 (也許嘗受過懷疑眼神)

我們的生命卻不斷延伸 (我們的生命不斷延伸)

更多的回憶 不停誕生

Da-la, da-la

Da-la-la-da-la-la

Da-la-da-la

Oh, na-na-la-da-la
