这一生也在进取这分钟却挂念谁

ze5 jat1 saang1 jaa5 zoi6 zeon3 ceoi2 ze5 fan1 zung1 koek3 gwaa3 nim6 seoi4

In this lifetime, always advancing, but who is on my mind this minute?

我会说是唯独你不可失去

ngo5 wui2 syut3 si6 wai4 duk6 nei5 bat1 ho2 sat1 heoi3

I would say it's solely you, cannot be lost

好风光似幻似虚谁明人生乐趣

hou2 fung1 gwong1 ci5 waan6 ci5 heoi1 seoi4 ming4 jan4 saang1 lok6 ceoi3

Great scenery, like a fantasy, who understands the joy of life?

我会说为情为爱仍然是对

ngo5 wui2 syut3 wai4 cing4 wai4 ngoi3 jing4 jin4 si6 deoi3

I would say, for feelings, for love, it's still the right thing

谁比你重要成功了败了也完全无重要

seoi4 bei2 nei5 cung4 jiu3 sing4 gung1 liu5 baai6 liu5 jaa5 jyun4 cyun4 mou4 cung4 jiu3

Who is more important than you? Success or failure, it doesn't matter

谁比你重要狂风与暴雨都因你燃烧

seoi4 bei2 nei5 cung4 jiu3 kong4 fung1 jyu5 bou6 jyu5 dou1 jan1 nei5 jin4 siu1

Who is more important than you? Storms and hurricanes all burn because of you

一追再追只想追赶生命里一分一秒

jat1 zeoi1 zoi3 zeoi1 zi2 soeng2 zeoi1 gon2 saang1 ming6 leoi5 jat1 fan1 jat1 miu5

Chasing again and again, just want to catch up with every moment in life

原来多么可笑你是真正目标

jyun4 loi4 do1 mo1 ho2 siu3 nei5 si6 zan1 zing3 muk6 biu1

Originally, how amusing, you are the true goal

一追再追追踪一些生活最基本需要

jat1 zeoi1 zoi3 zeoi1 zeoi1 zung1 jat1 se1 saang1 wut6 zeoi3 gei1 bun2 seoi1 jiu3

Chasing again and again, tracking some of life's most basic needs

原来早不缺少 oh... 有了你即使平凡却最重要

jyun4 loi4 zou2 bat1 kyu3 siu3 oh... jau5 liu5 nei5 zik1 si2 ping4 faan4 koek3 zeoi3 cung4 jiu3

Originally, not lacking early on, oh... Having you, even if it's ordinary, it's the most important

好光阴纵没太多一分钟那又如何

hou2 gwong1 jam1 zung3 m4 mut3 tou5 jat1 fan1 zi2 jau5 jyu4 fo4

Good moments, even if not many, what's the harm in a minute?

会与你共同渡过都不枉过

wui2 jyu5 nei5 gung6 tung4 dou6 gwo3 dou1 bat1 wong2 gwo3

Will pass together with you, it's not in vain

疯恋多错误更多如能从新做过

feng1 lyun5 do1 co3 ng6 gang3 do1 jyu4 nang4 zung1 san1 zou6 gwo3

Crazy love, many mistakes, if only I could start over

我会说愿能为你提前做错

ngo5 wui2 syut3 jyun6 nang4 wai6 nei5 tai4 cin4 zou6 co3

I would say, willing to make mistakes for you in advance

谁比你重要成功了败了也完全无重要

seoi4 bei2 nei5 cung4 jiu3 sing4 gung1 liu5 baai6 liu5 jaa5 jyun4 cyun4 mou4 cung4 jiu3

Who is more important than you? Success or failure, it doesn't matter

谁比你重要狂风与暴雨都因你燃烧

Who is more important than you? Storms and hurricanes all burn because of you

With you, even if I fall asleep, I'll still be smiling
