Walk the Talk

年輕總把承諾說得響

nián qīng zǒng bǎ chéng nuò shuō de xiǎng

When we're young, we make our promises loud

以為轉身就能散場

yǐ wèi zhuǎn shēn jiù néng sàn chǎng

Thinking we can turn away and let it all fade out

有人把真心放我肩上

yǒu rén bǎ zhēn xīn fàng wǒ jiān shàng

Until someone placed their sincere heart in my hands

我才懂一句話也有重量

wǒ cái dǒng yī jù huà yě yǒu zhòng liàng

Then I learned that even a few words can carry weight

嘴上千金　轉身只剩半兩

zuǐ shàng qiān jīn zhuǎn shēn zhǐ shèng bàn liǎng

Words worth a fortune can become worthless once you turn away

借來的掌聲　遲早要還帳

jiè lái de zhǎng shēng chí zǎo yào hái zhàng

Applause borrowed on empty promises will someday come due

若讓相信我的人失望

ruò ràng xiāng xìn wǒ de rén shī wàng

If I disappoint the ones who believed in me

再大的名字也站不直脊樑

zài dà de míng zì yě zhàn bù zhí jí liáng

No matter how great my name becomes, I could never stand proud

所以我慢一點開口

suǒ yǐ wǒ màn yī diǎn kāi kǒu

So I take a little longer before I speak

快一點做到

kuài yī diǎn zuò dào

And waste no time doing what I said

不拿明天作抵押

bù ná míng tiān zuò dǐ yā

I won't mortgage tomorrow

換今晚的叫好

huàn jīn wǎn de jiào hǎo

Just to win applause tonight

說到做到

shuō dào zuò dào

Say it — then do it

不是把話喊得多高

bú shì bǎ huà hǎn de duō gāo

It's not about how loudly you make your claims

風來不跑　雨來不繞

fēng lái bù pǎo yǔ lái bù rào

When the wind comes, don't run; when the rain falls, don't dodge it

該我扛的我扛好

gāi wǒ káng de wǒ káng hǎo

What is mine to carry, I'll carry well

若我說陪你到老

ruò wǒ shuō péi nǐ dào lǎo

If I say I'll stay beside you until we're old

就讓日子慢慢揭曉

jiù ràng rì zi màn màn jiē xiǎo

Then let the passing years prove it

每一句都留著我的記號

měi yī jù dōu liú zhù wǒ de jì hào

Every word I give carries my mark

說出口　我就拿名字擔保

shuō chū kǒu wǒ jiù ná míng zì dān bǎo

Once I say it, I put my name behind it

朋友敢把後背交我手上

péng yǒu gǎn bǎ hòu bèi jiāo wǒ shǒu shàng

My friends can trust me with their backs

家人把姓氏放我肩膀

jiā rén bǎ xìng shì fàng wǒ jiān bǎng

My family placed our name upon my shoulders

愛我的人不問我多風光

ài wǒ de rén bù wèn wǒ duō fēng guāng

Those who love me don't ask how brightly I shine

只怕有天我把真話說成謊

zhǐ pà yǒu tiān wǒ bǎ zhēn huà shuō chéng huǎng

They only fear the day my truth becomes a lie

一次食言也許沒人聲張

yī cì shí yán yě xǔ méi rén shēng zhāng

Break your word once and perhaps nobody says a thing

兩次三次信任開始退場

liǎng cì sān cì xìn rèn kāi shǐ tuì chǎng

Do it twice, three times — and trust begins to leave

錢能再賺　路還能再闖

qián néng zài zhuàn lù hái néng zài chuǎng

Money can be earned again; another road can still be taken

名聲碎了拼不回原樣

míng shēng suì le pīn bù huí yuán yàng

But once your name is shattered, it never fits together the same

不是每句都要漂亮

bú shì měi jù dōu yào piào liàng

Not every word has to sound beautiful

但每一句都該有分量

dàn měi yī jù dōu gāi yǒu fèn liàng

But every word should carry weight

寧可當下少一點風光

níng kě dāng xià shǎo yī diǎn fēng guāng

I'd rather shine a little less today

也別讓明天替我還帳

yě bié ràng míng tiān tì wǒ hái zhàng

Than make tomorrow pay for what I said tonight

說到做到

shuō dào zuò dào

Say it — then do it

不是把話喊得多高

bú shì bǎ huà hǎn de duō gāo

It's not about how loudly you make your claims

風來不跑　雨來不繞

fēng lái bù pǎo yǔ lái bù rào

When the wind comes, don't run; when the rain falls, don't dodge it

該我扛的我扛好

gāi wǒ káng de wǒ káng hǎo

What is mine to carry, I'll carry well

若我說陪你到老

ruò wǒ shuō péi nǐ dào lǎo

If I say I'll stay beside you until we're old

就讓日子慢慢揭曉

jiù ràng rì zi màn màn jiē xiǎo

Then let the passing years prove it

每一句都留著我的記號

měi yī jù dōu liú zhù wǒ de jì hào

Every word I give carries my mark

說出口　我就拿名字擔保

shuō chū kǒu wǒ jiù ná míng zì dān bǎo

Once I say it, I put my name behind it

耳邊一句　能留好多年

ěr biān yī jù néng liú hǎo duō nián

A quiet word in someone's ear can remain for years

人前一句　更要算到明天

rén qián yī jù gèng yào suàn dào míng tiān

A word spoken before others must still hold true tomorrow

「我愛你」不是氣氛的表演

「 wǒ ài nǐ 」 bú shì qì fēn de biǎo yǎn

“I love you” isn't something you say just for the moment

「我答應」不是漂亮的鋪墊

「 wǒ dá yīng 」 bú shì piào liàng de pù diàn

“I promise” isn't decoration for a beautiful scene

我寧願沉默幾秒再開言

wǒ níng yuàn chén mò jǐ miǎo zài kāi yán

I'd rather stay silent a few seconds longer before I speak

也不拿永遠換今晚體面

yě bù ná yǒng yuǎn huàn jīn wǎn tǐ miàn

Than trade “forever” just to look good tonight

若一句承諾過不了明天

ruò yī jù chéng nuò guò bù liǎo míng tiān

If a promise cannot survive until tomorrow

就別讓它先住進誰心裡面

jiù bié ràng tā xiān zhù jìn shuí xīn lǐ miàn

Don't let it make a home inside someone's heart today

說到做到

shuō dào zuò dào

Say it — then do it

不靠別人替我叫好

bù kào bié rén tì wǒ jiào hǎo

I don't need anyone applauding me for it

錯了我認　欠了我還

cuò le wǒ rèn qiàn le wǒ hái

If I'm wrong, I'll admit it; if I owe, I'll repay it

該我扛的我扛好

gāi wǒ káng de wǒ káng hǎo

What is mine to carry, I'll carry well

若我說陪你到老

ruò wǒ shuō péi nǐ dào lǎo

If I say I'll stay beside you until we're old

不是唱完就一筆勾銷

bú shì chàng wán jiù yī bǐ gōu xiāo

Those words don't disappear when the song is over

時間會把真假都揭曉

shí jiān huì bǎ zhēn jiǎ dōu jiē xiǎo

Time will reveal what was true and what was false

到最後　我還敢說我做到

dào zuì hòu wǒ hái gǎn shuō wǒ zuò dào

And at the end, I still want to be able to say: I did it

別記我曾說得多好

bié jì wǒ céng shuō de duō hǎo

Don't remember how beautifully I spoke

只看我最後有沒有做到

zhǐ kàn wǒ zuì hòu yǒu méi yǒu zuò dào

Just look at whether, in the end, I actually did it
