[English]

If I were to write a poem

I'd rather write one for you

A poem that dares to explore and strive

A poem that sings of fearless progress

A simple poem

A poem that’s calm and steady

A poem full of hope

Free and strong

Subtle and vast

Dreams soaring to the skies

A poem fulfilled as wished

You are the distant road

The lamp shining through foggy hills and fields

I am a child

Walking inside your gaze

You are the bright moon and gentle breeze

I am the dream you gently care for

Whether we meet or not, a lifetime embracing you

And I will love the world you love

Wishing you the smiles you desire

Your hand, I stumble as I hold it

Please take me to tomorrow

If you ever found my sweetness in bitterness

I wish to live as your wish

Willing to not waste a moment, willing to bravely go forward

In this thriving age, every day

You are the long river of time

The sky lit by sparks of stars

I am the one who looks up

And will sing you into a song

You are where I come from

And where my heart belongs

All roads in the world will meet with you

And I will love the world you love

Wishing you the smiles you desire

Your hand, I stumble as I hold it

Please take me to tomorrow

If you ever found my sweetness in bitterness

I wish to live as your wish

Willing to not waste a moment, willing to bravely go forward

In this thriving age, every day

The mountains and rivers remain safe, everyday fireworks normal

But you, watching as you wished

Children, sleep peacefully in your dreams

Just like the way you deeply love

And I will dream of the reunion you dream of

And I will dream of the reunion you dream of

Wishing your wishes forever true

Walking the long road you walk

This kind of love for you

I will also see the world you haven’t seen

Write the poems you haven’t written

The moon on the horizon, the thoughts in my heart

You always by my side

A life clear and bright, promised with you

Like your young face

[Chinese]

如果写一首诗

我更想写 一首给你们的诗

一首敢闯敢为的诗

一首高歌猛进的诗

一首朴素的诗

一首从容的诗

一首希望的诗

自由而坚定的诗

含蓄而广阔的诗

圆梦九天

如愿以偿的诗

你是 遥遥的路

山野 大雾里的灯

我是 孩童啊

走在 你的眼眸

你是 明月清风

我是 你照拂的梦

见与不见 都一生与你相拥

而我将 爱你所爱的人间

愿你所愿的笑颜

你的手 我蹒跚在牵

请带我 去明天

如果说 你曾苦过我的甜

我愿 活成你的愿

愿不枉啊 愿勇往啊

这盛世 每一天

你是 岁月长河

星火 燃起的天空

我是 仰望者

就把你 唱成歌

你是 我之所来

也是 我心之所归

世间所有路 都将与你相逢

而我将 爱你所爱的人间

愿你 所愿的笑颜

你的手 我蹒跚在牵

请带我 去明天

如果说 你曾苦过我的甜

我愿 活成你的愿

愿不枉啊 愿勇往啊

这盛世 每一天

山河无恙 烟火寻常

可是 你如愿的眺望

孩子们啊 安睡梦乡

像你 深爱的那样

而我将 梦你所梦的团圆

而我将 梦你所梦的团圆

愿你 所愿的永远

走你 所走的长路

这样的 爱你啊

我也将 见你未见的世界

写你 未写的诗篇

天边的月 心中的念

你永 在我身边

与你相约 一生清澈

如你 年轻的脸
