[English]

You are my steadfast strength.

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

Feeling lazy, because we lean on each other.

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

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

As long as your tears shine upon my heart.

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

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

My emotions, your expressions, can be released.

As long as I can see you in your gaze.

I will always remember to live stronger.

If life inevitably has regrets,

Having you by my side is already the best compensation.

You are the direction of my wandering shadow.

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

I look up and see you like seeing the moon.

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

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

As long as your tears shine upon my heart.

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

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

My emotions, your expressions.

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

As long as I can see you in your gaze.

I will always remember to live stronger.

If life inevitably has regrets,

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

What does hardship matter?

Wherever you are,

Life doesn't need any answers.

...

[Chinese]

你是我 肩膀堅定的力量

聽不到你的迴響 還真說不出晚安

懶洋洋 因為互相在依傍

時間怎麼過去 有你也不會冤枉

為誰辛苦為誰忙 只為了和你分享

只要你的淚光 照耀著我胸膛

只要我的生命 你肯讓我安放

不管外面風雨有多煩亂 日子過得再緊張

我的情緒 你的表情 就能釋放

只要在你目光 看得見的地方

我會永遠記住 要活得更堅強

要是人生難免有遺憾

有你在身旁 已經是最好的補償

你是我身影流浪的方向

汗水找到你的臉 世態炎涼也無妨

我抬頭 看你像看到月亮

你低頭 會不會想我 像思念故鄉

為誰辛苦為誰忙 眼中有對方不慌不忙

只要你的淚光 照耀著我胸膛

只要我的生命 你肯讓我安放

不管外面風雨有多煩亂 過得日子多緊張

我的情緒 你的表情

我們再不用隱瞞 卸下武裝

只要在你目光 看得見的地方

我會永遠記住 要活得更堅強

要是人生難免有遺憾

有你在身旁 試問我們還想怎樣

艱苦又怎樣

有你的地方

人生就不需要什麼答案
