想什么 等什么
What do you wish for, what do you wait for?
感觉不断在时空划过
Feelings constantly drift through time and space.
张开耳朵 听未来广播
Open your ears, listen to the future's broadcast.
睁开眼睛 看世界飞过
Open your eyes, watch the world fly by.
想什么 找什么
What do you think of, what do you seek?
阳光正好照著你和我
The sunshine perfectly shines on you and me.
张开双手 把世界掌握
Open your arms, embrace the world.
你想到什么 就期待什么
What you envision is what you ought to expect.
要一个礼拜 有两个周末
One week should have two weekends.
Just tell me what you want
Just tell me what you want
梦想成真等一秒也太多
Waiting a second for dreams to come true is too long
你想到什么 就期待什么
What you think about is what you hope for
让一双眼睛 看世界闪烁
Let a pair of eyes see the world sparkle
Just tell me what you want
Just tell me what you want
梦想成真一秒不能错过 你和我
Not a second to miss when our dreams come true, you and me
想知道的很多
There’s so much I want to know
想得到的更多
And even more that I want to gain
谁还在说著如果
Who is still talking about 'what if'
这一秒发现太多
In this moment, I discover so much,
想什么 等什么
What do you wish for, what do you wait for?
感觉不断在时空划过
Feelings continuously drift through time and space,
张开耳朵 听未来广播
Open your ears, listen to the future's broadcast,
睁开眼睛 看世界飞过
Open your eyes, watch the world fly by,
想什么 找什么
What do you want, what do you seek?
阳光正好照著你和我
The sunshine is perfectly shining on you and me,
张开双手 把世界掌握
Spread your arms wide, seize the world,
你想到什么 就期待什么
What you think of, is what to expect,
要一个礼拜 有两个周末
You want a week, with two weekends.
Just tell me what you want
Just tell me what you want
梦想成真等一秒也太多
One second waiting for dreams to come true is too long
你想到什么 就期待什么
What you think is what you hope for
让一双眼睛 看世界闪烁
Let a pair of eyes see the world sparkle
Just tell me what you want
Just tell me what you want
梦想成真一秒不能错过 你和我
Not a second to miss as dreams come true, you and me
Just tell me what you want
Just tell me what you want
梦想成真等一秒也太多
A second waiting for dreams to come true is too much
你想到什么 就期待什么
What you think is what you hope for
让一双眼睛 看世界闪烁
Let a pair of eyes see the world sparkle
Just tell me what you want
Just tell me what you want
梦想成真一秒不能错过 你和我
We can't miss a second when dreams come true, you and I
想知道的很多
So many things I want to know
想得到的更多
Even more things I want to obtain
谁还在说著如果
Who still speaks of if only
这一秒发现太多
In this moment, I discover so much
