一开始我就打算坚持
From the very start, I intended to persevere
我和真相保持平行
I keep pace with the truth, side by side
我越表现得若无其事
The more I act as if nothing's wrong
越多妒忌
The more envy grows
正面攻击
A direct assault
谁看到我早心灰意冷
Whoever sees me soon feels disheartened
如果遇已经注定
If fate has already sealed our paths
我要彻底的肯定自己
I must fully affirm myself
不动的我吸引着你
The stillness in me draws you near
因为了解在你眼里
Because understanding shines in your eyes
穿过人海直达心底
Through the sea of people, straight to my heart
只要你公平
As long as you are fair
看待我的心
Look upon my heart
平衡了其它都多余
Balancing everything else is just excess
争气我不用言语
I don't need words to show my pride
山崩地裂我在这里
With landslides and earthquakes, I'm right here
妒忌的光
The light of jealousy
照亮我的真性情
Illuminates my true nature
让我看见你
Let me see you
要争气是打击背面的意义
To strive is the meaning beyond the struggle
逼我努力看清道理
Forces me to strive and see the truth
遇到你的瞬间感应
The moment I encountered you, I felt a spark
有勇气降临
With the courage to arrive
我可以
I can do it
我愿意为你争气
I’m willing to fight for you
因为了解在你眼里
Because I see understanding in your eyes
穿过人海直达心底
It cuts through the crowd straight to my heart
只要你公平
As long as you are fair
看待我的心
In how you regard my heart
平衡了其它都多余
Everything else fades away when we're balanced
争气我不用言语
With determination, I need no words,
山崩地裂我在这里
As mountains crumble and land shakes, here I stand,
妒忌的光
The light of jealousy,
照亮我的真性情
Illuminates my true self,
让我看见你
Let me see you,
要争气是打击背面的意义
To strive is to face the meaning behind the blows,
逼我努力看清道理
Pushing me to strive, to understand the truth,
遇到你的瞬间感应
In the moment I encounter you, a spark ignites,
有勇气降临
With the courage to arrive,
我可以
I can.
我愿意为你争气
I'm willing to fight for you
让挑战继续保持距离
Let the challenges stay away
就会冷静
Then I can stay calm
我不看过去
I don't look at the past
那是珍惜
That's what it means to cherish
我身上每一个可能
Every possibility within me
可能对
Could be right
可能错
Could be wrong
我和你
You and I
在一起
Together
要前进
We must move forward
动作就是争气
Our actions show our spirit
