I thought we nearly went wrong
却带来属于我两个的烟火

But it brought the fireworks that belong to the two of us
美得我没话说

So beautiful, I am speechless
最爱你的是我
zuì ài nǐ de shì wǒ
I am the one who loves you the most
否则你怎么让我
fǒu zé nǐ zěn me ràng wǒ
Otherwise, why would you let me
否则我怎么可能 赴汤蹈火
fǒu zé wǒ zěn me kě néng fù tāng dǎo huǒ
Otherwise, how could I be willing to go through fire and water?
