年少有为 lyrics with English translation

电视一直闪

The TV keeps flickering,

联络方式都还没删

All our contact info still remains,

你待我的好

The kindness you showed me,

我却错手毁掉

Yet I clumsily let it all slip away.

也曾一起想

We once dreamed together,

有个地方睡觉吃饭

Of a place to sleep and share our meals,

可怎么去熬日夜颠倒连头款也凑不到

But how to endure these nights turned upside down when I can't even gather my first payment?

墙板被我砸烂到现在还没修

The wall was smashed by me, and it still hasn’t been fixed,

一碗热的粥

A bowl of hot porridge,

你怕我没够

You're afraid I won't have enough.

都留一半带走

Leave half of it behind, take the rest

给你形容

To describe you,

美好今后你常常眼睛会红

The beauty you'll often find makes your eyes red

原来心疼我

Turns out you felt pain for me

我那时候不懂

I didn't understand back then

假如我年少有为不自卑

If I were young and accomplished, never insecure,

懂得什么是珍贵

I'd know what is precious

那些美梦

Those beautiful dreams,

没给你我一生有愧

I owe you for not giving my all in this life

假如我年少有为知进退

If I were young and accomplished, knowing when to advance or retreat

才不会让你替我受罪

I won't let you suffer on my behalf.

婚礼上 多喝几杯

At the wedding, raise a glass or two.

和你现在那位

With the one you're with now,

也曾一起想

We once dreamed together,

有个地方睡觉吃饭

Of a place to sleep and eat.

可怎么去熬日夜颠倒连头款也凑不到

But how to endure the nights turned upside down, even the down payment can't be gathered.

墙板被我砸烂到现在还没修

The wall panel I smashed has yet to be repaired.

一碗热的粥

A bowl of warm porridge,

你怕我没够

You're afraid I might not have enough.

都留一半带走

Leaving half behind to take away.

给你形容

Let me describe to you

美好今后你常常眼睛会红

The beauty of the future, often your eyes will be red

原来心疼我

Turns out you hurt for me

我那时候不懂

Back then, I did not understand

假如我年少有为不自卑

If I had been young and accomplished, not feeling small

懂得什么是珍贵

I would know what is precious

那些美梦

Those beautiful dreams

没给你我一生有愧

I live with guilt for not giving you my all

假如我年少有为知进退

If I had been young and accomplished, knowing when to advance or retreat

才不会让你替我受罪

I wouldn’t let you suffer in my stead

婚礼上多喝几杯

At the wedding, drink a little more

和你现在那位

With the one you're with right now

假如我年少有为不自卑

If I had been accomplished in my youth, without feeling small

尝过后悔的滋味

Tasted the flavor of regret

金钱地位

Wealth and status

搏到了却好想退回

I fought for it, but wish I could go back

假如我年少有为知进退

If I had been accomplished in my youth, knowing when to advance and retreat

才不会让你替我受罪

I wouldn't let you suffer for my sake

婚礼上多喝几杯

At the wedding, drink a little more

和你现在那位

With the one you're with right now

在婚礼上多喝几杯

Drink a few more glasses at the wedding,

祝我年少有为

Wish me success in my youth.
