作词 (Lyrics): 刘思铭

作曲 (Composer): 刘志宏

编曲 (Arrangement): 洪敬尧

这些年一个人风也过雨也走

zhè xiē nián yī gè rén fēng yě guò yǔ yě zǒu

Over these years, alone, the wind has passed, the rain has gone

有过泪有过错还记得坚持什么

yǒu guò lèi yǒu guò cuò hái jì dé jiān chí shén me

Having shed tears, having made mistakes, still remember what to persevere in

真爱过才会懂会寂寞会回首

zhēn ài guò cái huì dǒng huì jì mò huì huí shǒu

Only when you've truly loved will you understand, feel lonely, and look back

终有梦终有你在心中

zhōng yǒu mèng zhōng yǒu nǐ zài xīn zhōng

In the end, there are dreams, there is you, in my heart

朋友一生一起走那些日子不再有

péng yǒu yī shēng yī qǐ zǒu nà xiē rì zi bù zài yǒu

Friends, walking together for a lifetime, those days are no more

一句话一辈子一生情一杯酒

yī jù huà yī bèi zi yī shēng qíng yī bēi jiǔ

One sentence, one lifetime, one love, one glass of wine

朋友不曾孤单过一声朋友你会懂

péng yǒu bù céng gū dān guò yī shēng péng yǒu nǐ huì dǒng

Friends, never lonely, a word of friend, you will understand

还有伤还有痛还要走还有我

hái yǒu shāng hái yǒu tòng hái yào zǒu hái yǒu wǒ

Still have wounds, still have pain, still have to walk, still have me

这些年一个人风也过雨也走

zhè xiē nián yī gè rén fēng yě guò yǔ yě zǒu

Over these years, alone, the wind has passed, the rain has gone

有过泪有过错还记得坚持什么

yǒu guò lèi yǒu guò cuò hái jì dé jiān chí shén me
