Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies: Verse
今天我 寒夜裡看雪飄過
jīntiān wǒ hán yèlǐ kàn xuě piāoguò
Today I watched the snow drift by in the cold night
懷著冷卻了的心窩漂遠方
huáizhe lěngquèle de xīnwō piāo yuǎnfāng
Floating far away with a cold hear
風雨裏追趕 霧裡分不清影蹤
fēngyǔ lǐ zhuīgǎn wù lǐ fēn bù qīng yǐng zōng
Chasing in the wind and rain, indistinguishable in the fog
天空海闊你與我 可會變 (誰沒在變)
tiānkōng hǎi kuò nǐ yǔ wǒ kě huì biàn (shuí méi zài biàn)
Boundless ocean and vast skies, will you and me change (who is not changing)
You will find all of the lyrics are traditional Chinese characters.

多少次 迎著冷眼與嘲笑
duōshǎo cì yíngzhe lěngyǎn yǔ cháoxiào
How many times have we faced cold eyes and ridicule
從沒有放棄過心中的理想
cóng méiyǒu fàngqìguò xīnzhōng de lǐxiǎng
Never have we given up the dream in our heart
一剎那恍惚 若有所失的感覺
yīchànà huǎnghū ruòyǒusuǒshī de gǎnjue
For a moment of trance, I feel lost
不知不覺已變淡 心裡愛 (誰明白我)
bùzhī bù jué yǐ biàn dàn xīnlǐ ài (shuí míngbái wǒ)
Unknowingly it has faded, love in my heart (who understands me)
