一路逆風

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

城市早已沉睡

The city has long fallen asleep

在甜美的虛偽

In sweet deception

真實就像 刺眼的陽光

Reality is like blinding sunlight

習慣伸手就擋

I’m used to blocking it out

我像火燒在大雨下

I’m like a fire burning in the rain

剩最後微弱的火花

With only a faint spark left

看不見國王的新衣裳

Can’t see the emperor’s new clothes

是否太倔強

Am I too stubborn?

生活就像一場

Life is like a

繁華裡的流浪

Wandering in the splendor

多少慾望 像洶湧的浪

How many desires surge like waves

吞噬多少善良

Devouring so much goodness

我們在霓虹燈下成長

We grew up under neon lights

燈愈亮人愈迷惘

The brighter the lights, the more lost we become

孩子曾都一樣

Children were all the same

生來天真勇敢

Born innocent and brave

便负夢想 卻隨著時光

Yet burdened with dreams, as time goes by

慢慢變得抽象

Slowly becoming abstract

白鴿困在摩天的大廈

A white dove trapped in a skyscraper

長出了妖精的尾巴

Grew a fairy’s tail

為什麼世界愈繁華

Why does the world become more prosperous

人性愈貧乏

While humanity becomes poorer?

生活就像一場

Life is like a

繁華裡的流浪

Wandering in the splendor

多少慾望 像洶湧的浪

How many desires surge like waves

吞噬多少善良

Devouring so much goodness

我不願隨波不屑逐浪

I refuse to drift along with the tide

誰陪我逆風飛翔

Who will accompany me to fly against the wind?

污霾愈讓人窒息 我愈拼命 爭取一口清新

The haze suffocates more, I strive harder for a breath of fresh air

黑暗愈遮蓋大地 我們的心 看得就愈清晰

The darkness covers the earth more, our hearts see clearer

單純像沙漠中的花

Simple like a flower in the desert

周圍是咆哮的風沙

Surrounded by roaring sand and wind

但就算現實多複雜

But no matter how complicated reality is

我也不害怕

I’m not afraid

生活就像一場

Life is like a

無止境的流浪

Endless wandering

新患舊傷 我卻更堅强

New ailments, old wounds, yet I grow stronger

一路逆風飛翔

Flying against the wind all the way

我們 不脆弱 不沉默 不協妥 不退縮

We are not weak, not silent, not compromising, not retreating

不慌張 不絕望 不狂妄 不投降

Not panicking, not despairing, not arrogant, not surrendering

不脆弱 不沉默 不協妥 不退縮

Not weak, not silent, not compromising, not retreating

不慌張 不絕望 不狂妄 不投降

Not panicking, not despairing, not arrogant, not surrendering

一路逆風 我們不投降

Flying against the wind, we do not surrender

一路逆風 頑強的飛翔

Flying against the wind, fiercely soaring

不脆弱 不沉默 不協妥 不退縮

Not weak, not silent, not compromising, not retreating

不慌張 不絕望 不狂妄 不投降

Not panicking, not despairing, not arrogant, not surrendering

...
