[English]

Escaping the bustling city with you tonight

Once again, let’s abandon that reckless spirit

Talking and laughing, as the years roll by

My feelings refuse to fade into the past

That song I loved to sing—who could replace it?

With each second in this new era, seasons change

Can we cherish a lifetime together?

Faces flashing by, no seats left behind

It’s only you, always understanding the original

Who can make me

Feel free to look into the future

Bravely, I will keep being me

Tonight, looking back at the ups and downs with you

In the pressures of life, breathing feels wrong

Through tides of change, we persevere

Emotions so strong they bring tears and laughter

The echoes of singing in the rain still remain

Tomorrow’s weather can’t be predicted

Can we cherish a lifetime together?

Faces flashing by, no seats left behind

It’s only you, always understanding the original

Who can make me

Feel free to embrace the broader future

Fearlessly, I’ll be the person I want to be

The view from the peaks is so beautiful

We walk with dust and soil beneath our feet

In this moment, we still watch the sunset together

Promises made in the unknown distant road

Watching the era dance and fly

Faces flashing by, no seats left behind

It’s only you, always understanding the original

Who can make me

Feel free to dream into the future

Sing boldly without fear

Live without regrets, just being me

...

[Chinese]

這晚與你逃離鬧市盛況

再次去放逐那輕狂

說說笑 年月在播

窩心得 使我拒絕淡忘

曾愛唱的那首 誰可代替

明日大時代每秒換季

能否都珍惜一世

幾張臉略過 未留座

只得你 始終也明白最初

是誰能讓我可

在寬廣的未來

無懼的 再去做我

這晚與你回頭望跌宕裡

棲於低壓 像呼吸 都不對

撐過了 潮汐幻變

感觸得 使我笑著落淚

曾雨裡高唱的 回音尚有

明日氣候沒法去預計

能否都珍惜一世

幾張臉略過 未留座

只得你 始終也明白最初

是誰能讓我可

在寬廣的未來

未怕 去做我想的我

高峰的風景多美好

也共遍 踏塵跟土

在這秒鐘 仍一起看夕陽

約定 未知那遠路裡

同看著時代飛舞

幾張臉略過 未留座

只得你 始終也明白最初

是誰能讓我可

在寬廣的未來

無懼的 去唱著歌

無憾的 可做我
