我习惯不向后看
I’m used to not looking back
我习惯了看风浪
I’ve grown accustomed to the storms
在从前某天
On some day from the past
心中失去奢望
My heart lost all hope
我习惯当雨渐降
I’m used to the rain that falls
拼命到处去闯荡
Desperately wandering everywhere
就凭眉宇间
Just with a glance between my brows
不死的眼光
An unwavering gaze
暴风中急风声
The sound of the wind in the storm
孤单旅程
A solitary journey
血与泪未暂停
Blood and tears have yet to rest,
但妳幼小的心
But your innocent heart,
偏偏有情
Still holds on to love.
愿步入唏嘘生命
Wishing to step into a sighing life,
遇上了再没平静
Meeting you brought no peace.
妳竟带著爱
You surprisingly carry love,
在我梦魂外
Outside my dreams and soul,
投进风雨内
Casting it into the storm,
纵多障碍
Despite all the obstacles,
亦努力存在
I still strive to exist.
我失去热爱
I've lost my passion
别过份期待
Don't hold on to hope too tightly
如某天发现
Like if one day you find
这黑暗时代
This dark era
别意外
Don't be surprised
我定了飘泊路向
I've set my course to drift
纵是错了也一样
Even if it's wrong, it's still the same
为求能发出一生一刹光亮
To shine a fleeting light in this lifetime
我或会失去路向
I might lose my way
困惑染满我身上
Confusion is all around me
在悬崖去写
On the cliff, I write
一生的创伤
The wounds of a lifetime
暴风中急风声
In the storm, the fierce winds howl
孤单旅程
A journey of solitude
血与泪未暂停
Blood and tears haven't paused
但妳幼小的心
Yet your innocent heart
偏偏有情
Is bittersweetly entwined with love
愿步入唏嘘生命
Wishing to step into a sighing life
遇上了再没平静
Encountering a peace that's forever lost
妳竟带著爱
You carry love with you
在我梦魂外
Beyond my dreaming soul,
投进风雨内
Thrown into the stormy rain.
纵多障碍
Though there are many obstacles,
亦努力存在
I still strive to remain.
我失去热爱
I've lost my passion,
别过份期待
Don't expect too much,
人再不寄望
People no longer hope,
这黑暗时代
In this darkened age,
妳竟带著爱
You still bring love,
在我梦魂外
Beyond my dreaming soul.
投进风雨内
Thrown into wind and rain
纵多障碍
Though there are many obstacles
亦努力存在
I still strive to exist
我失去热爱
I have lost my passion
别过份期待
Don't expect too much
如某天发现
As if one day you find
这黑暗时代
This dark age
别意外
Don't be surprised
