一步一步愛(國-feat. 陳奐仁)

Loving Step by Step (Mandarin - feat. Hanjin Tan)

左腳右腳 一步一步求告

Left foot, right foot, pleading step by step

左腳右腳 一步一步求告

Left foot, right foot, pleading step by step

多困擾 一步一步就好

So troubled, it'll be alright step by step

左腳右腳 一切都會揭曉

Left foot, right foot, everything will be revealed

一步一步來 喔...

Let's take it step by step, oh...

男：愛要我裝備自己 半分不移自我犧牲

Male: Love requires me to equip myself, unwavering in self-sacrifice

愛讓我心身火起 欲仙欲死奮不顧身

Love makes my heart and body ignite, wanting to live and die, reckless

愛是幸福的消耗 累得最值得

Love is a happy consumption, being tired is most worthwhile

若愛你會累死 寧可放棄健康不看醫生

If loving you will exhaust me, I'd rather give up health and not see a doctor

女：愛一個人根本就不需懷疑不需憑據

Female: Loving someone doesn't require doubt or proof at all

愛你的下一步是勇敢繼續愛下去

The next step in loving you is to bravely continue loving

愛一步看一步 既然一切無法算清楚

Love, take it one step at a time, since everything can't be calculated clearly

何不交托 喔

Why not entrust it, oh

合：愛是什麼東西誰能明白

Both: What is love, who can understand

但我不放棄 一步一步來 喔

But I won't give up, let's take it step by step, oh

愛讓走的每一步都精彩

Love makes every step exciting

愛需要勇氣 一步一步來 喔

Love needs courage, let's take it step by step, oh

男：一步一步從末期單思打入愛的天堂

Male: Step by step, from terminal lovesickness to the paradise of love

一步一步在愛的包容之中醫治心房

Step by step, in the embrace of love, healing the heart

愛是深夜裡沒路牌的窄路

Love is a narrow road without road signs in the deep night

但如果你是黑暗 我寧可吹滅蠟燭而迷路

But if you are the darkness, I'd rather blow out the candle and get lost

女：愛的旨意不成立若不出於順服的路

Female: The meaning of love is not established if it doesn't come from obedience

信心的救贖 愛要我成就的每一步

Faith's redemption, love wants me to accomplish every step

信一步順一步 架上的意念高於全部

Believe step by step, obey step by step, the thoughts on the cross are above all

...

...

俯伏交托 喔

Kneel down and entrust, oh

合：愛是什麼東西誰能明白

Both: What is love, who can understand

但我不放棄 一步一步來 喔

But I won't give up, let's take it step by step, oh

愛讓走的每一步都精彩

Love makes every step exciting

愛需要勇氣 一步一步來 喔

Love needs courage, let's take it step by step, oh

男：愛傾倒了整個世界

Male: Love has overturned the whole world

證實了生命的一切

Confirmed everything in life

女：愛讓我像嬰孩渴慕靈奶

Female: Love makes me like a baby craving spiritual milk

合：在你的懷抱相信祈禱

Both: In your embrace, believe in prayer

合：愛是什麼東西誰能明白

Both: What is love, who can understand

但我不放棄 一步一步來 喔

But I won't give up, let's take it step by step, oh

哥林多前書十三章七節

1 Corinthians 13:7

應允我相信 一步一步愛 喔(有了你的愛)

Promises me to believe, loving step by step, oh (with your love)

合：愛是什麼東西誰能明白(世界變得精彩)

Both: What is love, who can understand (the world becomes wonderful)

但我不放棄 一步一步來 喔(為你的愛)

But I won't give up, let's take it step by step, oh (for your love)

哥林多前書十三章七節(我一步一步來)

1 Corinthians 13:7 (I'll take it step by step)

應允我相信 一步一步愛 喔(一步一步愛)

Promises me to believe, loving step by step, oh (loving step by step)
