如果是缘分 就献上灵魂
If it’s fate, then I’ll offer my soul,
快乐而认真 直到幸福关门
Joyful yet earnest, until happiness shuts its door.
如果一个人 就随性纯真
If it’s just one person, then let’s be free and pure,
当情绪烦闷 带自由私奔
When emotions are heavy, let’s elope with freedom for sure.
不委屈自己 当最配合的人
Don’t compromise myself, be the one who fits just right,
不为难自己 找完美的可能
Not making things hard, seeking what’s perfect in sight.
美好都有成本 我在乎的是摸著伤痕
Beauty comes at a cost, but I care to touch the scars,
还能觉得有感动沸腾
Still feeling moved, boiling like vibrant stars.
如果还有梦 何必要转身
If there’s still a dream, why bother to turn away?
旁人的眼神 不在意就不冷
The gazes of others, if ignored, won’t lead me astray.
如果太迷惑 花时间停顿
If I'm too confused, I'll take a moment to pause
清一清感受 去远方 不能揹很多矛盾
Clear my senses, head towards the distance, can't carry too many contradictions
要懂得自己 是什么样的人
I need to understand who I really am
要找到自己 想前往的旅程
I must find the journey I wish to embark upon
美好都有成本 我在乎的是摸著伤痕
Beauty comes at a cost; I care about feeling the scars
还能觉得有感动沸腾
I can still feel the stirring of emotions
越来越懂得 挚爱才有热忱
The more I understand, the more passion true love ignites
太勉强自己 苦痛就会衍生
Forcing myself too hard will only birth the pain
不想让任何人 为我的人生编写剧本
I don't want anyone to write the script of my life
幸福是两个人 由一切自然发生
Happiness is two people, letting everything unfold naturally
从想太多 变最爱笑的人
From overthinking to becoming the one who laughs the most
