[English]

Never afraid, every day muscles tired and weak, never-ending

If greatness comes late, only after some refining, then I’ll strive

Hoping along the way there are some crumbs, cookies, encouraging me

Instead of always going hungry, forcing myself forward

Seeking a dark horse to become a legend

But reality every day brings more deadly threats

Still making me sit and stop the bleeding, then taking blows again

With the strength I put into chasing my dreams

Not a day goes by without trying to improve myself to face it

Why is it I still can’t win?

Could it be that I’m not tough enough?

Every day surviving is already so hard

Don’t strike me down again

Watch how I keep holding on

Just resent those ruthless heavens

Even if I try harder, they just sigh in despair

Even if I’m not afraid of difficulty, woo

I secretly hope that someday, the sky will open its eyes

...

Doing what I first intended, who’s willing to stop?

I know my wishes, but whether I can achieve them? No guarantee

I don’t even expect victory to be so simple

But it’s unimaginable how tough this journey is

Trying so hard without applause

Could it be that I’m not tough enough?

Every day surviving is already so hard

Don’t strike me down again

Watch how I keep holding on

Just resent those ruthless heavens

Even if I try harder, they just sigh in despair

Even if I’m not afraid of hardship

Sometimes I can’t help but lament my fate, woo

...

My neck feels so stiff, I seem to refuse to give in

Never willing to turn back or run away

Even if a sword comes, I won’t close my eyes

Could it be that I’m not tough enough?

Every day surviving is already so hard

Don’t strike me down again

Watch how I keep holding on

Just resent those ruthless heavens

Even if I try harder, they just sigh in despair

Even if I’m not afraid of hardship

Sometimes I find myself wondering

Why is no one else finding my struggle hard?

Dreams are especially hard to hold on to

But I have hope in my heart

With enough strength, stubbornly survive

Even if the sky is blind, it’s still the sky

And I’ve already tried my best, no slacking

Must not lose that smile

Be confident that my future will be bright

...

Carrying weary hopes

...

[Chinese]

未害怕 每天筋歇力疲 無盡期

若大器 晚一些至煉成 才爭氣

也望沿路有些 餅乾碎 鼓勵我

而不必 一直空肚 強行前進

求黑馬 變傳奇

現實卻 每天給我運來 更多的殺機

未讓我 坐低止血又來 捱打戲

我用朝著理想 打出去的 力氣

無一天 不在 改進我 來迎戰

何解也 贏不起

難道我還 未夠難

每天生還 已是極難

不要 再重擊我

看我又 如何的撐

就恨那老天多野蠻

我再出力 亦望門興嘆

即使我 不怕難 woo

也暗盼 有陣時 天開眼

做著我最初心那事情 誰願停

願望我也知 可會達成 難保証

也沒期望 這麼簡單 已可獲勝

但不可想像 這趟旅程難到

如此拼 無掌聲

難道我還 未夠難

每天生還 已是極難

不要 再重擊我

看我又如何的撐

就恨那老天多野蠻

我再出力 亦望門興嘆

就算不懼 困難

有時未免 對著命運慨嘆 Woo

恨我的頸 似乎太硬

從不肯 掉頭逃難

就算有刀來斬 不會閤眼

難道我還 未夠難

每天生還 已是極難

不要 再重擊我

看我又 如何的撐

就恨那老天多野蠻

我再出力 亦望門興嘆

就算不懼 困難

有時未免想

為何 沒有人 及我難

夢想堅持格外地難

不過 我有所盼

至夠力 頑強的撐

就是有眼的天 已盲

也已經盡力並無偷懶

不可喪失笑顏

要確信我未來很璀燦

帶倦期盼
