[English]

Is there a shooting star in the sky that never falls?

Like my feelings for you, burning endlessly

The most disappointing minute, because I have your

Warm shoulder

Gives me endless courage, firm longing

I know that no matter which direction, there's no right or wrong

Just believe, the future has you and me facing it together

I will bravely love, the harder it is, the more exciting

And you are irreplaceable

Going through dangerous haze with you

Is better than plain emptiness

Choosing to let go is not as good as waiting together

Let the rumors stop

They will finally understand, the connected true heart

Is something that cannot be separated

If the world is to be covered by wind and snow

At least you are still here

...

The most disappointing minute, because I have your warm shoulder

Gives me endless courage, if the world is dark, your presence is the sunlight

I know that no matter which direction, there's no right or wrong

Just believe, tomorrow has you and me facing it together

I will bravely love, the harder it is, the more exciting

And you are irreplaceable

Going through dangerous haze with you

Is better than plain emptiness

Choosing to let go is not as good as waiting together

Let the rumors stop

They will finally understand, the connected true heart

Just won't be separated

Bound together, not caring about falling into the deep sea

Bravely love, the harder it is, the more exciting

Nothing can stop it

Going through dangerous haze with you

Is better than plain emptiness

Choosing to let go is not as good as waiting together

Let the rumors stop

They will finally understand, the connected true heart

Just won't be separated

Bound together, can't retreat, can't let go

...

[Chinese]

天空裡到底有沒有一顆流星 不墜落

好像我對你的感覺 燃燒不滅

最失望的一分鐘因為有你的

溫暖的肩膀

讓我有不絕的勇氣 堅定渴望

我知道不管哪個方向 没有所謂錯還是對

只要相信 未來有你和我面對

我會勇敢去愛 越難越是痛快

而你是無法取代

跟你穿越危險的陰霾

勝過了平静的空白

選擇放手離開 不如一起等待

流言蜚語 停下來

他們會終於明白 聯繫的真心

是没有什麼能夠分開

如果 世界要被風雪覆蓋

至少你還在

最失望的一分鐘因為有你的 溫暖的肩膀

讓我有不絕的勇氣 世界黑暗有你就有陽光

我知道不管哪個方向 沒有所謂錯還是對

只要相信 明天有你和我面對

我會勇敢去愛 越難越是痛快

而你是無法取代

跟你穿越危險的陰霾

勝過了平静的空白

選擇放手離開 不如一起等待

流言蜚語停下來

他們會終於明白 聯繫的真心

就是不會分開

捆在一起 不在乎陷入深海

勇敢去愛 越難越是痛快

一切都無法阻礙

跟你穿越危險的陰霾

勝過了平静的空白

選擇放手離開 不如一起等待

流言蜚語停下來

他們會終於明白 聯繫的真心

就是不會分開

捆在一起 退不出放不開
