Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

沒有去試過 怎知它錯

No need to try, how could I know it's wrong?

就算我錯了 亦必須繼續

Even if I’m wrong, I must keep going on.

痛苦時有眼淚去中和

Tears can neutralize the pain when it hurts.

沒有去愛過 怎知它美

Had I never loved, how would I know it's beauty?

沒有你愛我 問怎可脫俗

Without your love, how can I stand out from the rest?

那管它世界未原諒我

Who cares if the world hasn’t forgiven me?

多奢侈的夢

Such a lavish dream.

一朝醒覺時盡變空

One day I wake up and everything turns to emptiness.

你看我時沒有淚容

When you look at me, I have no tears in my eyes.

愁懷懸在半空

Worries hanging in the air.

明天縱多苦痛

No matter how painful tomorrow is,

命運繼續來 一點不放鬆

Fate keeps coming, I won’t let go.

明天冷風吹送

Tomorrow, the cold wind blows.

面上有熱情 仍流過

My face still shows passion, still flowing through.
