[English]

The fireworks have scattered, ashes falling like mistakes,

Reminding me not to hold onto hope.

I should have known this world never had perfection,

It's hard to escape parting ways with you.

Even if it makes me jealous, I'm prepared with blessings,

Still hoping the next one can bring you happiness.

Willing to sacrifice, allowing me to let go,

If the road ahead is wider, better than being with me,

Why not say goodbye and fulfill you?

From today, we each have our own future,

Like fireworks that can't be taken, no need to possess them forever.

Let me wipe away the tears and walk away from you, don't look back,

After healing, don't be friends with you again,

I'm afraid I'll be nostalgic.

Let me bear the heartache and loneliness,

Being able to achieve great love is worth the tears.

Hoping that one day, you'll still remember me,

Traveling together in a snowy land, witnessing the warmest fireworks,

How brilliantly we existed.

From today, we each have our own future,

Like fireworks that can't be taken, no need to possess them forever.

Let me wipe away the tears and walk away from you, don't look back,

After healing, don't be friends with you again,

From today, we each have our own future,

Having embraced, having held hands, is still enough in my heart,

May my beloved always have a smile, then I'll have no worries,

May he replace this old friend tomorrow,

And stay with you forever, Hoo...

Peacefully, we each have our own future,

Having embraced, having held hands, is still enough in my heart,

To cherish you, I'm willing to let go of your hand, let you go,

After healing, don't be friends with you again,

I'm afraid I'll be nostalgic.

[Chinese]

煙花已散落地 飛灰似錯落地

來提示著我不要希冀

應早知這世界 從來無完美

難逃避共你別離

即使教我妒忌 祝福我已預備

仍期望下個可給你福氣

自願犧牲 來容我捨棄

如前面路更闊 更勝與我一起

何妨道別成就你

今天起各有日後

如花火攜不走 無需要定擁有

讓我拭去眼淚背著你走 別回首

復原後不要再度跟你做朋友

我怕我念舊

將心痛與寂寞 交給我去負荷

能成就大愛不枉痛哭過

但願一天 仍然記得我

同遊異地雪國 見證最暖花火

如何耀目存在過

今天起各有日後

如花火攜不走 無需要定擁有

讓我拭去眼淚背著你走 別回首

復原後不要再度跟你做朋友

今天起各有日後

曾相擁 曾牽手 在心裡仍足夠

願我所愛以後帶著笑口 便無憂

願明日他會替代這個舊朋友

永遠共你廝守 Hoo...

安好的各有日後

曾相擁曾牽手 在心裡仍足夠

為愛惜你我願放下你手 讓你走

復原後不要再度跟你做朋友

我怕我念舊
