半次到一百次 一天一天去试
From half a time to a hundred times, trying day by day.
靠勇气加斗志 放弃太轻易
With courage and grit, giving up is too easy.
沉迷还是幼稚? 根本不介意
Am I indulged or just naive? I truly don't care.
愿到最后我知 锻炼里的意义
Wishing that in the end I’ll know the meaning of this training.
每次我想算了 仿佛听到窃笑
Every time I think I should quit, I feel a sneaky laugh.
笑我只差半秒 最尾却输掉
Laughing at me for being just half a second short, yet losing at the end.
明明全部气力 一早消耗了
Clearly, all my strength has already been spent.
用意志力抵销 却又看出奥妙
Striving with willpower, though I see the mystery unfold.
一副骨格身躯 一对酸软的腿
A skeletal frame, with legs so sore and weak.
用尽力气的追 下去
Exhausting all my energy, I chase on down.
一口清澈的水 一些古训金句
A sip of clear water, some ancient golden words
流入我 平伏我 来让我战胜畏惧
Flow into me, calm me down, come help me conquer my fears
从高山深海 欢欣悲哀 走来
From the high mountains and deep seas, joy and sorrow come forth
途中的姿采 总躲不开 多障碍
No avoiding the obstacles that lie on this road
时空多更改 只好抛开 等待
Time and space keep changing, I must let go and wait
应不应该? 精不精彩? 总结在 我爱
Should I? Is it thrilling? It all sums up to my love
世界也许变了 有结果方会要
The world may have changed, only results truly matter
个个会跑会跳 奋斗却省掉
Everyone runs and jumps, yet they skip the struggle
谁和谁在较量? 根本搞错了
Who is competing with whom? The whole thing is a huge mistake
没法接受渺小 却望老天照料
Unable to accept the smallness, yet I hope for heaven’s care
一副骨格身躯 一对酸软的腿
A bony frame, a pair of weary legs
用尽力气的追 下去
With all my strength, I chase after it
一口清澈的水 一些古训金句
A sip of crystal-clear water, some ancient sayings
流入我 平伏我 来让我战胜畏惧
Flow into me, calm me, let me conquer my fears
从高山深海 欢欣悲哀 走来
From high mountains and deep seas, joy and sorrow come to me
途中的姿采 总躲不开 多障碍
The scenes along the way, always hiding, filled with obstacles
时空多更改 只好抛开 等待
With time and space ever changing, I can only let go and wait
应不应该? 精不精彩? 总结在 我爱
Should I? Is it exciting? Ultimately, it's my love
无数次竞赛 一波一波 涌来
Countless competitions, waves upon waves surge forth
谁可躲得开 一点一点 小意外
Who can escape? Bit by bit, small accidents occur
时空多更改 只好抛开 等待
Time and space change so much, I can only let go and wait.
应不应该? 精不精彩? 总结在 我爱
Should I? Is it exciting? In the end, it all comes down to my love.
