Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

願世間都珍惜信望愛 能相愛

May the world cherish faith, hope, and love, and be able to love each other

奉上一生光陰去競賽

Offer a lifetime of time to compete

誰亦不必爭議 不需對峙

Everyone need not argue or confront

明日縱使跌低 寧願抗爭到底

Even if tomorrow falls low, I’d rather keep fighting till the end

願世間都擺低 對罵戰和偏見

May the world set aside quarrels and prejudice

願你聽取心聲與異見

May you listen to your heart and different opinions

明日不需槍炮 只需對話

Tomorrow, no need for guns, only dialogue

蒙著眼的那位 難避戰火的洗禮

The one blindfolded can't avoid the baptism of war

問世上還有幾多人 甦醒一個靈魂

Ask how many still have awakening souls in this world

願我們能有理想 息紛爭再放下怒憤

May we have ideals, settle disputes, and let go of anger

沒法能忘記這天絢麗白色哀傷的日期

Impossible to forget that bright, white day of sorrow

萬世正等你

Eternity is waiting for you

話我知蒼天想試煉您 求真理

Tell me, does Heaven want to test you, seek the truth

話我知應該怎哀悼你

Tell me, how should we mourn for you

沈默不可解決 青春歲月

Silence can't solve anything, youth and time

承諾太早說穿 隨便轉更加倉促

Promises made too early are easily broken, rushing makes it worse

問世上還有幾多人 枯萎一個靈魂

Ask how many more have withered souls in this world

願我們能有理想 息紛爭再放下怒憤

May we have ideals, settle disputes, and let go of anger

沒法能忘記這天絢麗白色我們來過此

Impossible to forget that bright, white day we came here

一起行多遠 想說

How far can we walk together, I want to say

問世上還有幾多人 睜得開眼沈睡去

Ask how many more open their eyes and go to sleep again

為你而流過那些幸福的眼淚

Shedding those happy tears for you

沒法能忘記這天千鈞一髮是你微細身軀

Impossible to forget that day when life hung by a thread, and it was your delicate figure

豁得出去

Be willing to risk everything

用愛緊抱自由 願覺醒再無內鬥

Hold tightly to freedom with love; may awakening bring no more internal strife

願你終於清醒 有沒有

May you finally come to your senses, is that so?
