[English]

No grand ambitions here

Nothing to rush for, no place to be

Seeing the red light blinking at the intersection

It's like a winking little sun

The dark clouds are quite bold

Sitting overhead, can't be blown away

I'll grab them, and turn them into cotton candy

What worries can't be forgotten?

Since it's a road, there will be turns

Every scenery is beautiful

Rub your tired eyes, stop and take a look

Simple beauty

Look

The puppy's barking, the leaves are laughing

The wind is whispering

Might as well enjoy this moment

A hazy, dreamy romance

Just wake up, and the sheets are covered

With the warmth of the sunlight

Don't think, no need to think

No need to rush and give an answer

A smile, and it's radiant

Sing a song, and you'll unwind

Collecting every little bit of bliss

All are patterns of happiness

Unreasonable cheerfulness

Dressing up an ordinary day

Finding the most fitting clothes for yourself

As long as you like it enough

At least there are still gentle eyes

Still watching the moon at night

No matter how full your heart is, leave a skylight open

The years are long

Look

The puppy's barking, the leaves are laughing

The wind is whispering

Might as well enjoy this moment

A hazy, dreamy romance

Just wake up, and the sheets are covered

With the warmth of the sunlight

Don't think, no need to think

No need to rush and give an answer

What do you choose to believe?

That's how you'll see the world

Sometimes problems add a little weight

The more you need to spin it gently

So no matter what

Remember to keep your little halo safe

Laugh or cry, it's fine

Today is the best company for tomorrow

Laugh or cry, it's fine

You are your own best company

[Chinese]

沒什麼 大願望

沒有什麼事 要趕

看見路口紅燈 一直閃

它像 眨眼的小太陽

烏雲還 挺大膽

頂在頭上 吹不散

我抓在手裡 捏成棉花糖

什麼煩惱 不能忘

既然 是路一定有轉彎

哪個風景 都漂亮

揉揉疲憊的眼睛 停下來 看一看

美好簡單

你看

小狗在叫 樹葉會笑

風聲在呢喃

不如好好 欣賞一秒

迷迷糊糊的 浪漫

只要 一覺醒來 床單灑滿

陽光的 溫暖

不去想 不必想

不用急急忙忙 說一個 答案

笑一笑 就燦爛

唱一句歌 就舒展

收集一點一滴 小美滿

都是 幸福的花樣

沒道理 的開朗

打扮 平凡的日常

找到自己 最合身的衣裳

只要自己 夠喜歡

至少 還有溫柔的眼光

還在夜裡 看月亮

心情鋪得再滿 也要留一扇天窗

歲月很長

你看

小狗在叫 樹葉會笑

風聲在呢喃

不如好好 欣賞一秒

迷迷糊糊的浪漫

只要 一覺醒來 床單灑滿

陽光的溫暖

不去想 不必想

不用急急忙忙 說一個 答案

你願相信什麼

就把世界 看成什麼樣

偶爾難題 加點重量

越要 輕輕地旋轉

所以 無論如何

記得保管 小小的光環

笑就好 哭也好

今天 就是明天最好的 陪伴

笑就好 哭也好

自己 就是自己最好的 陪伴
