[English]

Tokyo, New York, every place

Taking you on a ride on happiness's subway

Strolling, shopping, looking for a movie theater

When you're tired, I'll help you put on high heels

Traffic jams, blackouts, even snow falls

Every day, celebrating Valentine's with you

Stars, music, a cup of hot coffee

All I want is to give you every romantic scene, let me

Be your man, 24 hours a day, never sleep

Carefully keeping this passion from fading

No matter how chaotic the world is, we hold each other tight

Slightly, I feel a smile hiding at the corner of your mouth

Be your man, 24 hours a day, never sleep

Let the shy you find comfort even in the dark

Even if one day love decreases and people grow old

Even if I haven't told you, you already know

That in the next life, I want to meet you again

...

[Chinese]

東京 紐約 每個地點

帶你去坐幸福的地下鐵

散步 逛街 找電影院

累了我就幫你提高跟鞋

塞車 停電 哪怕下雪

每天都要和你過情人節

星光 音樂 一杯熱咖啡

只想給你所有浪漫情節 讓我

做你的男人 二十四個小時不睡覺

小心翼翼的保持這種熱情不退燒

不管世界多紛擾 我們倆緊緊的擁抱

隱隱約約我感覺有微笑 藏在你嘴角

做你的男人 二十四個小時不睡覺

讓膽小的你在黑夜中也會有個依靠

就算有一天 愛會變少 人會變老

就算沒告訴過你也知道

下輩子還要和你遇到
