城市早已沉睡
The city has long since fallen asleep
在甜美的虚伪
In sweet deceit
真实就像 刺眼的阳光
Reality shines like blinding sunlight
习惯伸手就挡
I habitually block it with my hands
我像火烧在大雨下
I'm like a fire burning in the heavy rain
剩最后微弱的火花
With only the last feeble spark remaining
看不见国王的新衣裳
Can't see the king's new clothes
是否太倔强
Am I being too stubborn?
生活就像一场
Life is just like a
繁华里的流浪
Wandering amid the splendor
多少欲望 像汹涌的浪
So many desires, like surging waves,
吞噬多少善良
Devouring so much goodness.
我们在霓虹灯下成长
We grew up under neon lights,
灯愈亮人愈迷惘
The brighter the lamps, the more lost we become.
孩子曾都一样
Children were all the same once,
生来天真勇敢
Born innocent and brave.
便负梦想 却随著时光
Yet they betrayed their dreams, as time goes by,
慢慢变得抽象
Slowly becoming abstract.
白鸽困在摩天的大厦
White doves trapped in towering skyscrapers,
长出了妖精的尾巴
Sprouting tails like fairies.
为什么世界愈繁华
Why does the world grow more splendid,
人性愈贫乏
Yet human nature feels so poor?
生活就像一场
Life is like a journey,
繁华里的流浪
Wandering through the grandeur.
多少欲望 像汹涌的浪
Countless desires, like surging waves,
吞噬多少善良
Devour so much kindness.
我不愿随波不屑逐浪
I refuse to drift along the tide,
谁陪我逆风飞翔
Who will fly against the wind with me?
污霾愈让人窒息 我愈拼命 争取一口清新
As the haze suffocates us, I strive harder for a breath of fresh air.
黑暗愈遮盖大地 我们的心 看得就愈清晰
The darkness covers the earth, yet our hearts become clearer.
单纯像沙漠中的花
Pure like a flower in the desert
周围是咆哮的风沙
Surrounded by howling wind and sand
但就算现实多复杂
But no matter how complex reality is
我也不害怕
I'm not afraid
生活就像一场
Life is like a
无止境的流浪
Never-ending wandering
新患旧伤 我却更坚强
New wounds and old scars, yet I grow stronger
一路逆风飞翔
Soaring against the wind all the way
我们 不脆弱 不沉默 不协妥 不退缩
We are not weak, not silent, not compromising, not backing down
不慌张 不绝望 不狂妄 不投降
Not panicking, not hopeless, not arrogant, not surrendering
不脆弱 不沉默 不协妥 不退缩
Not fragile, not silent, not compliant, not backing down
不慌张 不绝望 不狂妄 不投降
Not panicking, not despairing, not arrogant, not surrendering
一路逆风 我们不投降
Against the wind all the way, we will not give in
一路逆风 顽强的飞翔
Against the wind all the way, fiercely we fly
不脆弱 不沉默 不协妥 不退缩
Not fragile, not silent, not compliant, not backing down
不慌张 不绝望 不狂妄 不投降
Not panicking, not despairing, not arrogant, not surrendering
