黄色烟硝 还在飘 头顶风帆 在鼓噪
Yellow smoke drifts, still lingering, the sails above flutter in the uproar,
一瞬间的风暴
A storm in an instant,
湿透双脚 干不了 晒伤眼角 顾不了
Soaked feet can't dry, sunburns the corners of my eyes, unbothered,
对著狂风咆哮
Facing the howling winds,
头巾缠绕著骄傲 泪藏在黑色眼罩
The headscarf wraps around pride, tears hidden beneath the black mask,
长发在船头舞蹈 啦啦啦啦
Long hair dances at the bow of the ship, la-la-la-la,
尽头 当找到那些宝藏以后
At the end, when those treasures are found,
当满足了冒险的 念头
When the thirst for adventure is finally satisfied,
幸福是否在岸上 等候
Does happiness wait on the shore,
故事对它细说从头
The story begins anew, told from the start.
啦啦啦啦 冷漠背后 躲著温柔
La la la la, behind the indifference hides tenderness
我还记得 谁在嘶吼 看你低著头 我站在船头
I still remember who was shouting, watching you bow your head as I stood at the bow of the ship
啦啦啦啦 黑色的风 吹熄烛火
La la la la, the black wind blows out the candlelight
暴风雨外 那片天空 幸福在招手
Outside the storm, that piece of sky is beckoning happiness
冰山一角 在窃笑 险恶暗潮 在围剿
The tip of the iceberg is chuckling, while treacherous tides are in pursuit
没目标的目标
A target without a target
鼻间酒意 还没消 受潮烟草 怪味道
The scent of alcohol lingers, not yet fading, the damp tobacco has a strange taste
写封信 寄不到
Writing a letter, but it can't be sent
扰人清梦的号角 船舵疯狂的奔跑
The horn disturbs the sweet dreams, the ship's helm races wildly
永远下不了的锚
An anchor that can never be dropped
啦啦啦啦 终点就在前头 前头尽头
La la la la, the endpoint is just ahead, right at the end
等找到那些宝藏 以后 宝藏以后
Waiting to find those treasures, treasures in the future
当满足了冒险的念头 幸福是否
When the spirit of adventure is satisfied, is happiness
在岸上等候 它细说从头
Waiting on the shore, it speaks softly from the beginning
尽头 当找到那些宝藏
At the end, when those treasures are found
以后 当满足了冒险的
In the future, when the spirit of adventure is satisfied
念头 幸福是否在岸上 等候
Is happiness waiting on the shore?
(幸福是否在岸上等候)
(Is happiness waiting on the shore?)
啦啦啦啦 冷漠背后 躲著温柔
La la la la, behind the indifference hides a gentle warmth
我还记得 谁在嘶吼 看你低著头 我站在船头
I still remember who was roaring, watching you look down, I stand at the bow
啦啦啦啦 黑色的风 吹熄烛火
La la la la, the black wind blows out the candle's flame
暴风雨外 那片天空 幸福在招手
Outside the storm, that piece of sky waves happiness
等候 好不了的伤口
Waiting for an unhealable wound
在美丽的港口 寂寞的出口 发烫的胸口
At a beautiful port, a lonely exit, a burning heart
等候 好不了的伤口
Waiting for an unhealable wound
在美丽的港口 寂寞的出口
At a beautiful port, a lonely exit
