流浪者之歌

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

我的肩膀 揹記憶的包裹

My shoulders carry the weight of memories

流浪到大樹下終於解脫

I wandered under the big tree and finally found relief

希望若是有 絕望若是有

If there's hope, there's despair

不要像 風吹過連痕跡都不留

Don't leave just marks as the wind blows by

我的雙腳 太沈重的枷鎖

My feet are too heavy, like chains

越不過 曾經犯的每個錯

Unable to get past each mistake I've made

希望若是有 絕望若是有

If there's hope, there's despair

怎麼會 換不回最初的承諾

How come I can't turn back the initial promise

撐住我 落葉離開後頻頻回頭

Hold on for me, after the fallen leaves keep looking back

撐住我 止不住的墜落

Hold on for me, as I can't stop falling

撐住我 讓我真正停留

Hold on for me, let me truly stay

擁抱你 作完一場美夢

Embrace you, and complete a beautiful dream

...

我的雙腳 太沈重的枷鎖

My feet are too heavy, like chains

越不過 曾經犯的每個錯

Unable to get past each mistake I've made

希望若是有 絕望若是有

If there's hope, there's despair

怎麼會 換不回最初的承諾

How come I can't turn back the initial promise

撐住我 落葉離開後頻頻回頭

Hold on for me, after the fallen leaves keep looking back

撐住我 止不住的墜落

Hold on for me, as I can't stop falling

撐住我 讓我真正停留

Hold on for me, let me truly stay

擁抱你 作完一場美夢

Embrace you, and complete a beautiful dream

撐住我 狂風暴雨我都不逃脫

Hold on for me, through storms and wild winds, I won't run away

撐住我 為你擋下所有詛咒

Hold on for me, I will block all curses for you

撐住我 眼淚不再流

Hold on for me, so tears will no longer flow

擁抱你 作完一場美夢

Embrace you, and complete a beautiful dream

快樂若是有 傷心若是有

If there's happiness, there's sadness

眼淚灌溉 不枉愛過

Tears irrigate, proving love was never wasted

...
