Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

抬頭回望去

Looking back as I lift my head

從不會後悔與唏噓

Never regretting or sighing

閒言和雜語

Idle talk and gossip

已伴我枕邊進睡

Have accompanied me to sleep by my side

抬頭前望去

Looking ahead as I lift my head

只盼傲氣永伴隨

Only hoping pride will always be with me

人前如獨奏

In front of others, like a solo performance

任雨打風吹

Letting the rain and wind hit me

為了誰這一生不管錯或對

For whom this life, regardless of right or wrong

未畏懼 忍著淚

Not afraid, holding back tears

往事回憶棄街角

Memories of the past discarded at the street corner

冷風襯托這一幕

The cold wind highlights this scene

歲月掏空這軀殼

Time has hollowed out this shell

未覺空虛與失落

Not feeling emptiness or loss

傷疤一天一天的加深

Scars deepen day by day

這一遍又一遍

This again and again

不死 我 更坦蕩

I won't die, I am more open

懶理世態 年月裏隨年月去

Ignoring the ways of the world, passing with the years

獨樂在暴雨這是我

Finding joy in the storm, this is me

誰人能明白我

Who can understand me

獨自在冰冷晝夜裡

Alone in the cold day and night

人來如潮漸退

People come like a tide, gradually retreating

害怕夢醒也會粉碎

Afraid that waking from the dream will also shatter

心底想講的說不清楚

What I want to say from the bottom of my heart is unclear

就算清楚 你也不是我

Even if it's clear, you are not me

So Godspeed goodbye

So Godspeed goodbye

親吻我的罪

Kiss my sins

為了誰這一生不管錯或對

For whom this life, regardless of right or wrong

未畏懼 忍著淚

Not afraid, holding back tears

往事回憶棄街角

Memories of the past discarded at the street corner

冷風襯托這一幕

The cold wind highlights this scene

歲月掏空這軀殼

Time has hollowed out this shell

未覺空虛與失落

Not feeling emptiness or loss

傷疤一天一天的加深

Scars deepen day by day

這一遍又一遍

This again and again

不死 我 更坦蕩

I won't die, I am more open

懶理世態 年月裏隨年月去

Ignoring the ways of the world, passing with the years

獨樂在暴雨這是我

Finding joy in the storm, this is me

你勸我把心聲傾訴 吐盡那苦楚

You advise me to pour out my heart, to express that pain

我卻笑說不想講太多

But I laugh and say I don't want to say too much

獨自在心中解決這一切 ah

Solving everything alone in my heart, ah

手中緊握怒火

Holding tightly to my anger

往事回憶棄街角

Memories of the past discarded at the street corner

Time has hollowed out this shell
