Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leaving my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
How you got me blind is still a mystery ①
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history ①
As long as you're here with me
I don't care who you are ②
Where you're from ②
What you did ②
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me
Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like it's deep within me
Doesn't really matter if you're on the run
It seems like were meant to be ③
I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look into my eyes
What you did and where you're coming from
I don't care as long as you love me baby
I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
As long as you love me
Who you are
As long as you love me
What you did
I don't care as long as you love me
虽然孤独一直伴我左右
我把我的生命托付于你
有人说我疯狂,说我盲目
毫不犹豫赌上所有感情
你如何使我如此盲目仍是个谜
我就是无法忘记你
我不在乎你的过去
只要你陪在我身边
我不在乎你是谁
你来自哪
你做过什么
只要你爱我就好
你是谁
你来自哪
我不在乎你做过什么
只要你爱我就好
你说过的和做过的
都深深地烙印在我心里
我也不介意你是否要躲避我
我们就像命中注定的连理
我不在乎你是谁
你来自哪
你做过什么
只要你爱我就好
你是谁
你来自哪
我不在乎你做过什么
只要你爱我就好
只要你爱我就好
只要你爱我就好
我试图隐藏我的感情,不想被人看穿
但我想真情已经流露
每当我们四目相对
你做过什么,来自哪里
我都不在乎,只要你爱我就好
你是谁
你来自哪
你做过什么
只要你爱我就好
你是谁
你来自哪
我不在乎你做过什么
只要你爱我就好
不管你是谁
你来自哪
你做过什么
只要你爱我就好
不管你是谁
你来自哪
只要你爱我就好
不管你是谁
只要你爱我就好
你做过什么
我都不在乎,只要你爱我就好
as long as 只要

① How you got me blind is still a mystery; Don't care what is written in your history.
mystery和history两个词都有相同的音[istəri],运用了尾韵的修辞手法,使歌曲增加了韵律感。这两句歌词表达了歌者不在乎心上人的过去,只愿拥有真挚爱情的心愿。
② I don't care who you are; Where you're from; What you did.
who,where和what都有相同的辅音[w],歌曲运用头韵的修辞方法来加强歌曲的韵律。且三个特殊疑问句的连用,强烈表达了歌者不介意心上人的身份地位,只愿付出真情的愿望。
③ It seems like were meant to be.
It seems like后省略了we。be meant to do意为“应该做某事;理应是这样”。此句歌词可意译为“我们就像命中注定的连理”。
