Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

你是我 肩膀堅定的力量

You are my steadfast strength.

聽不到你的迴響 還真說不出晚安

Without hearing your echo, I can't really say goodnight.

懶洋洋 因為互相在依傍

Feeling lazy, because we lean on each other.

時間怎麼過去 有你也不會冤枉

No matter how time passes, having you makes it worthwhile.

為誰辛苦為誰忙 只為了和你分享

Who am I working hard for, who am I busy for? Just to share with you.

只要你的淚光 照耀著我胸膛

As long as your tears shine upon my heart.

只要我的生命 你肯讓我安放

As long as my life, you allow me to settle down.

不管外面風雨有多煩亂 日子過得再緊張

No matter how chaotic the storms outside, even if life is tense.

我的情緒 你的表情 就能釋放

My emotions, your expressions, can be released.

只要在你目光 看得見的地方

As long as I can see you in your gaze.

我會永遠記住 要活得更堅強

I will always remember to live stronger.

要是人生難免有遺憾

If life inevitably has regrets,

有你在身旁 已經是最好的補償

Having you by my side is already the best compensation.

你是我身影流浪的方向

You are the direction of my wandering shadow.

汗水找到你的臉 世態炎涼也無妨

Sweat finds your face, and the world's indifference doesn't matter.

我抬頭 看你像看到月亮

I look up and see you like seeing the moon.

你低頭 會不會想我 像思念故鄉

When you look down, do you think of me like missing home?

為誰辛苦為誰忙 眼中有對方不慌不忙

Who am I working hard for, who am I busy for? With each other in our eyes, we are calm.

只要你的淚光 照耀著我胸膛

As long as your tears shine upon my heart.

只要我的生命 你肯讓我安放

As long as my life, you allow me to settle down.

不管外面風雨有多煩亂 過得日子多緊張

No matter how chaotic the storms outside, no matter how tense life gets.

我的情緒 你的表情

My emotions, your expressions.

我們再不用隱瞞 卸下武裝

We no longer need to hide, we can lay down our arms.

只要在你目光 看得見的地方

As long as I can see you in your gaze.

我會永遠記住 要活得更堅強

I will always remember to live stronger.

要是人生難免有遺憾

If life inevitably has regrets,

有你在身旁 試問我們還想怎樣

With you by my side, what more do we want?

艱苦又怎樣

What does hardship matter?

有你的地方

Wherever you are,

人生就不需要什麼答案

Life doesn't need any answers.
