有太多何必不必未必
There are so many reasons to not need what’s uncertain
太多小心翼翼
So many steps taken cautiously
有太多的定律
There are too many rules defined
奇怪逻辑
Strange logic
有太多先例条例下不为例
There are so many precedents that don’t apply here
却忘了也有即兴的权利
Yet I forget I have the right to improvise
用我的方式
In my own way
演我的故事
Telling my story
舞动的风是云在大口呼吸
The dancing wind is the clouds breathing deeply
悸动的心是爱在有养呼吸
The fluttering heart is love nurturing its breath
微笑的眼是快乐在呼吸
Eyes that smile breathe joy
感觉好充实
Feeling so fulfilled
飞扬的眉是脸的惊叹句子
Raising brows are the exclamation marks of my face
我的衣服是我的随身戏剧
My clothes are my portable drama
轻轻吻你是我爱你的语气
A gentle kiss is how I express my love for you
没一点犹疑
Not a hint of hesitation
Ha 我信我会做的好
Ha, I believe I'll do well
听起来有点骄傲
Sounds a bit proud
但不想刻意渺小
But I don't want to intentionally be small
Ha 我信我会找得到
Ha, I believe I'll find my way
不需要谁来叫好
No need for anyone to cheer me on
梦是单行道不准往后掉
Dreams are one-way streets, no looking back allowed
只能往前跑
You can only run ahead
下一秒就像预告
The next moment feels like a preview
出乎意料都猜不到
Unexpected twists, all unseen
也停不了
And there's no stopping
有太多何必不必未必
So much to consider, yet no need to hesitate
太多小心翼翼
Too many cautious steps
有太多的定律
There are countless rules
奇怪逻辑
Strange logic
有太多先例条例下不为例
There are too many precedents that don't apply in this case,
却忘了也有即兴的权利
Yet we forget we have the right to improvise;
有太多周期限期预期
There are too many deadlines and expectations,
太多伟大主义
Too much idealism,
有太多的挑剔
There is too much scrutiny,
固有逻辑
Fixed logic,
有太多规例事例不成比例
There are too many rules that don't match the examples,
却忘了爱有即兴的权利
Yet we forget love has the right to be spontaneous;
用我的放肆
With my boldness,
爱特别的你
Love, especially for you.
Ha 我信我会做的好
Ha, I believe I'll do well.
听起来有点骄傲
It sounds a bit proud.
但不想刻意渺小
But I don't want to play small.
Ha 我信我会找得到
Ha, I believe I'll find a way.
不需要谁来叫好
No need for anyone to cheer me on.
梦是单行道不准往后掉
Dreams are a one-way street, can't fall back.
只能往前跑
I can only run forward.
下一秒就像预告
The next moment feels like a preview.
出乎意料都猜不到
Completely unexpected, can't guess it.
也停不了
And it can't be stopped.
有太多周期限期预期
There are too many deadlines and expectations,
太多伟大主义
So many grand ideals,
有太多的挑剔
There’s far too much criticism,
固有逻辑
Ingrained logic,
有太多规例事例不成比例
Too many rules and examples, they don’t match up,
却忘了爱有即兴的权利
Yet we forget love has the right to be spontaneous,
用我的放肆
With my boldness,
爱特别的你
To love the special you,
最自由方式和你靠近
The freest way to get close to you,
用我的自由式
With my freestyle.
游向明天的心
A heart that swims towards tomorrow
像飞在大海的鱼
Like a fish soaring in the ocean
我想我再回不去
I think I can never go back
没有你的日子
To the days without you
生命要有你
Life needs you
才会有我专属的表情
To have my own unique expression
有太多何必不必未必
There are too many reasons, no need for what-ifs
太多小心翼翼
So much caution in every step
有太多的定律
There are too many rules
奇怪逻辑
Strange logic
有太多先例条例下不为例
There are too many precedents that don’t apply here,
却忘了也有即兴的权利
But we forget we have the right to improvise,
有太多周期限期预期
There are too many cycles, deadlines, and expectations,
太多伟大主义
Too much grand idealism,
有太多的挑剔
There’s just too much criticism,
固有逻辑
Rigid logic,
有太多规例事例不成比例
There are too many rules and examples that don’t align,
却忘了爱有即兴的权利
Yet we forget that love has the right to improvise,
有太多何必不必未必
There are too many things that might, might not, or shouldn’t be,
太多小心翼翼
So much caution in every step.
有太多的定律
There are too many rules
奇怪逻辑
Strange logic
有太多先例条例下不为例
Too many precedents that don't apply
却忘了也有即兴的权利
Yet have forgotten the right to improvise
有太多周期限期预期
Too many deadlines and expectations
太多伟大主义
Too much grandeur in ideals
有太多的挑剔
Too much picking apart
固有逻辑
Inherent logic
有太多规例事例不成比例
Too many regulations, examples out of proportion
却忘了爱有即兴的权利
Yet have forgotten that love has the right to improvise
用我的放肆
With my wildness,
爱特别的你
I love the special you.
用我的放肆
With my wildness,
爱特别的你
I love the special you.
