[English]

Brothers, you and I

Walking together through storms and rain

Facing rumors and gossip, feeling helpless

Who really arranged this game of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness?

Calling each other brothers, now it all comes to an end

In this lifetime, there's no time left

So we'll just meet again in the next life

Loyalty and brotherhood, yet it’s met with a heartless, indifferent response

Life hangs by a breath, so fragile and fine

Even if the sky falls, let’s face it and punish me and you together

Our world is full of doubts

People's relationships are never easy

Without trust, what’s the point of another day?

In our world, there's no need to doubt

People must uphold their principles to the very end

As long as we're willing, brotherly love still remains here

...

In this lifetime, there's no time left

So we'll just meet again in the next life

Loyalty and brotherhood, yet it’s met with a heartless, indifferent response

Life hangs by a breath, so fragile and fine

Even if the sky falls, let’s face it and punish me and you together

Our world is full of doubts

People's relationships are never easy

Without trust, what’s the point of another day?

In our world, there's no need to doubt

People must uphold their principles to the very end

As long as we're willing, brotherly love still remains here

In our world, full of doubts

People's relationships are never easy

Without trust, what’s the point of another day?

In our world, there's no need to doubt

People's principles are meant to be upheld to the end

As long as we're willing, brotherly love still remains here

Right here

[Chinese]

兄弟 我和你

一路走來 滿天的風雨

面對所有 流言蜚語 有心無力

到底誰安排一場 喜怒哀樂 的遊戲

稱兄道弟 已經到了 結局

今生 來不及

那麼只能 來生再相遇

有情有義 居然換來 無心無意

生命是懸在一呼一吸 的距離

天塌下來 好好的懲罰 我和你

我們活的世界充滿懷疑

人和人的關係不容易

沒有了相信 多一天那又何必

我們活的世界不用懷疑

人和人的底線守到底

只要願意 兄弟的情 仍然還在這裡

今生 來不及

那麼只能 來生再相遇

有情有義 居然換來 無心無意

生命是懸在一呼一吸 的距離

天塌下來 好好的懲罰 我和你

我們活的世界充滿懷疑

人和人的關係不容易

沒有了相信 多一天那又何必

我們活的世界不用懷疑

人和人的底線守到底

只要願意 兄弟的情 仍然還在

我們活的世界充滿懷疑

人和人的關係不容易

沒有了相信 多一天那又何必

我們活的世界不用懷疑

人和人的底線守到底

只要願意 兄弟的情 仍然還在

在這裡
