依依稀稀消失的片段
Fragments fading away, oh so rare
浪荡路中这心那怕更酸
On this wandering road, my heart feels even more bare
落寞日子痛过了便算
In lonely days, the pain's all I spare
遗忘的太多太乱
Too much forgotten, chaos laid bare
命运像风暴一生多变动
Destiny's a storm, shifting everywhere
木讷面孔瑟缩扑向雨中
With a wooden face, I shrink in the rain's glare
负著寂寞枷锁爱放纵自我
Burdened with loneliness, love runs wild, unaware
浮游的心不懂珍惜美梦
A drifting heart that fails to cherish dreams so fair
痛痛快快永不再说爱
Painfully honest, I’ll never say love again, I swear
寂寂寞寞独处在梦外
In solitude, lost in dreams, I despair
飘忽踪迹道别后不再归来
Fleeting traces, after farewell never to return
绝不管生命怎样结束
Absolutely no matter how life comes to an end
孤单足印仍是继续
Lonely footprints still continue on
一天天在苍生追逐 wo-woah
Day by day chasing life, wo-woah
夜星安抚著孤独背影
The night stars soothe the lonely silhouette
短促的过去全没记认
The brief past has left no recognition
披起风声又告别黎明
Draped in the sound of winds, bidding dawn goodbye
命运像风暴一生多变动
Fate is like a storm, ever-changing throughout life
木讷面孔瑟缩扑向雨中
A dull face shrinks and plunges into the rain
负著寂寞枷锁爱放纵自我
Bearing the chains of loneliness, love sets itself free
浮游的心不懂珍惜美梦
A drifting heart cannot cherish beautiful dreams
痛痛快快永不再说爱
Painfully and joyfully, never to say love again
寂寂寞寞独处在梦外
In the solitude of silence, I dwell outside dreams
飘忽踪迹道别后不再归来
Fading traces, after goodbye, never return
绝不管生命怎样结束
Absolutely regardless of how life may end
孤单足印仍是继续
Lonely footprints still continue to tread
一天天在苍生追逐 wo-woah
Day by day, chasing in this world, wo-woah
夜星安抚著孤独背影
Night stars soothe the shadow of loneliness
短促的过去全没记认
The brief past, I have no memory of
披起风声又告别黎明
Wrap in the sound of the wind and bid farewell to dawn
绝不管生命怎样结束
No matter how life comes to an end,
孤单足印仍是继续
The lonely footprints still carry on.
一天天在苍生追逐 wo-woah
Day by day, chasing through the world, wo-woah,
夜星安抚著孤独背影
Stars at night soothe the shadow of solitude.
短促的过去全没记认
Brief pasts are recognized no more,
披起风声又告别黎明
Wrap yourself in the wind's whispers, and say goodbye to dawn.
