Who knows when love begins? 爱是何时开始

Who knows what makes it start? 爱又因何而生

One day it's simply there 一旦某天出现

Alive inside your heart 永远驻在心田

It slips into your thoughts 它会溜进思绪

It infiltrates your soul 潜入你的灵魂

It takes you by surprise 它会突如其来

Then seizes full control 让你成为俘虏

Try to deny it 它会让你否认

And try to protest 也会让你抗衡

But love won't let you go 但你无法抹去

Once you've been possessed 一旦被它据占

Love never dies 真爱永不消亡

Love never falters 步履从不蹒跚

Once it has spoken 一旦表白出来

Love is yours 它会永远相伴

Love never fades 真爱从不褪色

Love never alters 永远不会更换

Hearts may get broken 即使让你伤心

Love endures 也会流连忘返

And soon as you submit 付出全部心血

Surrender flesh and bone 当你许下诺言

That love takes on a life 真爱让你一生

Much bigger than your own 精彩接二连三

It uses you at whim 让你突发奇想

And drives you to despair 让你失望刁难

And forces you to feel 真爱让你体味

More joy than you can bear 难以置信的梦幻

Love gives you pleasure 真爱给你快乐

and love brings you pain 也会带来痛苦

And yet when both are gone 喜怒哀乐之后

Love will still remain 依然气定神闲

Love never dies 真爱不会消亡

Love will continue 它会一直继续

Love keeps on beating 踩着不变的步伐

When you're gone 即使你已走远

Love never dies 真爱永不消亡

Once it is in you 一旦见你心间

Life may be fleeting 即使转瞬即逝

Love lives on 也会永远流传
