[English]

If only I could find an uninhabited island

To escape the troubles of life and look ahead

Like a winter without a heat source

Embracing with both hands, gambling with the sky

No matter how high, just like hitting a dead end

Cut off from the world, just want to spend forever with you

Step out onto that map

No need for reward, I just want to say I’m good with you

To be with you

Climbing the ladder along the way, no need to hold back

Defending against lies and slander

Keeping you close

What others say doesn’t matter, no arrogance in me

Ask me, I have no shame

With you, I can lose everything

How many pairs love on until what age

As long as life still allows me to go all out for you

Among thousands, who cares about right or wrong

Still hand in hand through the rise and fall of the world

How many pairs could understand the deepest meaning

We keep going, striving to love with all our might

Holding tight, never feeling tired in this life

...

Ahead, still shrouded in fog

Maybe we’ll never find out if we reach cliffs or the sea

To hold each other until grey hair, growing old together

Not competing with the sky’s height

How tall is the road ahead? Just a barren land

Each step, with climbing, leaves our hands roughened

Clearing this rugged path for you

So we can walk better

To climb the ladder with you along the way

Even the night is beautiful

Vowing on the mountain top amid the roaring sea

Keeping you close

What others say doesn’t matter, no arrogance in me

Ask me, I have no shame

With you, we can break through the sky

How many pairs love on until what age

As long as life still allows me to go all out for you

Among thousands, who cares about right or wrong

Still hand in hand through the rise and fall of the world

How many pairs could understand the deepest meaning

We keep going

Striving to love with all our might

Holding tight, never feeling tired in this life

Holding hands, happiness surrounds this humble wall

Walking hand in hand, daring to love forever

How many pairs love on until what age

Without grandeur, how to become the world’s best

Among thousands, who cares about right or wrong

Still hand in hand through the rise and fall of the world

How many pairs could understand the deepest meaning

We keep going

Striving to love with all our might

Holding tight, never feeling tired in this life

...

How many pairs love on until what age

As long as life still allows me to go all out for you

...

[Chinese]

如可 找個荒島

向未來避開生活中那些苦惱

如冬天欠電爐

雙手擁抱 可跟天對賭

無論有幾高 就如絕路

隔絕塵俗只想要跟你可終老

來跨出那地圖

不需好報 都只想你好

能共你

沿途來爬天梯 不用忌諱

中傷流言全悍衛

留住你

旁人如何 話過不可一世

問我亦無愧

有你可 失去我一切

幾多對 持續愛到幾多歲

當生命 仍能為你豁出去

千夫所指裡 誰理登不登對

仍挽手歷盡在世間興衰

幾多對 能悟到幾多精髓

能撐下去 竭力也要為愛盡瘁

抱緊一生未覺累

前方 仍然大霧

到懸崖或海邊也許永不知道

能相擁到白頭 一起偕老

不跟天鬥高

前面有幾高 一片荒土

每步隨著攀登叫雙手都粗糙

從崎嶇這路途 開墾給你

可走得更好

能共你 沿途來爬天梯

黑夜亦亮麗

於山頭同盟洪海中發誓

留住你

旁人如何話過不可一世

問我亦無愧

有你可以 拆破這天際

幾多對 持續愛到幾多歲

當生命 仍能為你豁出去

千夫所指裡 誰理登不登對

仍挽手歷盡在世間興衰

幾多對 能悟到幾多精髓

能撐下去

竭力也要為愛盡瘁

抱緊一生未覺累

握著手 而幸福包圍泥牆簡陋

牽著走 懷著勇氣至愛得永久

幾多對 持續愛到幾多歲

不轟烈 如何做世界之最

千夫所指裡 誰理登不登對

仍挽手歷盡在世間興衰

幾多對 能悟到幾多精髓

能撐下去

竭力也要為愛盡瘁

抱緊一生未覺累

幾多對 持續愛到幾多歲

當生命 仍能為你豁出去
