[English]

Gradually, my hair has turned white, but you are still beautiful.

Sincerely from my heart, please don't frown.

Does the moon still recognize the you from that day?

Every moment of our date carries a childlike spirit.

Always celebrating the little things.

Nostalgic for the mistakes made in childhood.

I really want to revisit that happy place with you.

Lovers travel the world, the sun and moon change our luggage.

If I forget, I long for another chance to get to know you.

Talking about trivial things with you, hand in hand for thousands of miles.

Proving that we can be steadfast, kissing you who doesn't know how many years have passed.

...

Special thanks to you for creating a happier me.

Except for a few days each month, being tormented.

Looking back at the days, how did we get through?

Confirming that this fortress cannot be breached.

Once cried in anger.

Looking back at the boundaries of boredom.

Cherishing the moments you still sit across from me.

Lovers travel the world, the sun and moon change our luggage.

If I forget, I long for another chance to get to know you.

Talking about trivial things with you, hand in hand for thousands of miles.

Proving that we can be steadfast, kissing you until the next century.

Changing, continuing, changing, inseparable.

We have become us, and it's good to have love in our embrace.

Laughing, shouting, holding each other, as if love is eternal.

How wonderful it is to embrace the future.

Lovers travel the world, the sun and moon change our luggage.

From now on, I won't care about everything in the world, right or wrong.

Talking about trivial things with you, walking a few thousand miles again.

Eternal steadfastness descends upon the tombstone where we are buried together.

(To be able to steal glances at you again, to chase after you again, to be close to you again.)

And I want to cherish you well.

(To be able to care for you again, to be moved by you again.)

To be able to enjoy loving you again.

...

[Chinese]

漸漸頭上染了白 你一樣很美

純粹發自我真心 別皺眉

月亮是否仍然認得當天的你

約會每一刻亦帶著孩子氣

常為碎事而慶祝

懷念幼稚時犯的錯

真想與你重遊那快樂故地

情人遊天地 日月換行李

如果失憶 我渴望再多一次 認識你

與你說些無聊事 挽手幾千里

證明可不捨不棄 吻停不知幾多歲的你

特別鳴謝你製造 更歡樂的我

除了每月有幾天 受折磨

段段日子回頭望清怎麼走過

確定這碉堡沒有事能攻破

曾為憤怒而痛哭

回望厭悶時越的界

珍惜有你仍然會對著我坐

情人遊天地 日月換行李

如果失憶 我渴望再多一次 認識你

與你說些無聊事 挽手幾千里

證明可不捨不棄 吻停你到下世紀

變幻 繼續 變幻 拆不開

我們 已成 我們 還好有愛在 懷中感慨

笑著 喊著 抱著 如萬世不朽只有愛

多好 能擁抱未來

情人遊天地 日月換行李

從今開始 懶理會世間一切 是與非

與你說些無聊事 再走幾千里

永恆的不捨不棄 降臨你我合葬的墓碑

（能重頭偷望你 能重頭追逐你 能重頭親近你）

而我要好好珍惜你

（能重頭呵護你 能重頭感動你）

能重頭享受愛你
