[English]

Having gone through winds and rains, seen highs and lows

You remain quietly peaceful, like a child gazing at the stars

Reading your eyes, I understand everything clearly

Reluctant to muddy the world, you venture into human nature alone

Fate brought us together, maybe to make you believe

All the doubts you've had, I prove I am real

I've decided, just for you, to be brave and stubborn

No matter how unfair the world is or how wrong I am, what’s there to fear?

One day, all of this will become memories

All the storms and rain will become part of life's scenery

Just for you, to be brave and stubborn

No matter how unfair the world is or how wrong I am, what’s there to fear?

Even if in the end everyone becomes my enemy

I won’t regret loving you with all my heart

Loving and staying with you

I have loved your stubbornness

...

This world is broken and ragged, so I sew and patch for you

The chaos and passion of now are just little moments

I want to live like stones and gravel, breaking shadows for you

Refining into flawless glass, reflecting dazzling light and shadow

Even if I have to lose everything, I will rebel against the rules for you

Like the most unruly wings refusing gravity

I’ve decided, just for you, to be brave and stubborn

No matter how unfair the world is or how wrong I am, what’s there to fear?

One day, all of this will turn into memories

All the storms and rain will become part of life’s scenery

Just for you, to be brave and stubborn

No matter how unfair the world is or how wrong I am, what’s there to fear?

Even if in the end everyone becomes my enemy

I won’t regret loving you with all my heart

...

I’ve decided, just for you, to be brave and stubborn

No matter how unfair the world is or how wrong I am, what’s there to fear?

One day, all of this will turn into memories

All the storms and rain will become part of life’s scenery

Just for you, to be brave and stubborn

No matter how unfair the world is or how wrong I am, what’s there to fear?

Even if in the end everyone becomes my enemy

I won’t regret loving you with all my heart

Loving and staying with you

I have loved your stubbornness

...

[Chinese]

走過了風風雨雨 看過了高高低低

你始終安安靜靜 像孩子仰望星星

閱讀過你的眼睛 才懂得一覽無遺

捨不得混濁人間 你獨自闖蕩人性

命運讓我們相遇 也許是要你相信

所有你曾經懷疑有我證明

我決定 就為了你 為了你勇敢任性

世界再對 我再錯 又有何懼?

總有一天這一切變成回憶

所有風雨都會是人生風景

就為了你 為了你勇敢任性

世界再對 我再錯 又有何懼?

就算最後所有人與我為敵

也不後悔全心全意深愛過你

哄著你 陪著你

我曾愛過你的任性

這世界破破爛爛 為了你縫縫釘釘

此刻的轟轟烈烈都會是點點滴滴

想活成鏗鏘砂礫 去為你擊碎陰影

再煉成無瑕琉璃 折射出璀璨光影

即使要失去所有 也為你叛道離經

像最桀驁的翅膀拒絕引力

我決定 就為了你 為了你勇敢任性

世界再對 我再錯 又有何懼?

總有一天這一切變成回憶

所有風雨都會是人生風景

就為了你 為了你勇敢任性

世界再對 我再錯 又有何懼?

就算最後所有人與我為敵

也不後悔全心全意深愛過你

我決定 就為了你 為了你 勇敢任性

世界再對 我再錯 又有何懼?

總有一天這一切變成回憶

所有風雨都會是人生風景

就為了你 為了你勇敢任性

世界再對 我再錯 又有何懼?

就算最後所有人與我為敵

也不後悔全心全意深愛過你

哄著你 陪著你

我曾愛過你的任性
