只要有翅膀就可以飞翔
As long as there are wings, we can soar.
我们有思想也应该流浪
With thoughts in our heads, we should wander far.
雪月风花过几场谁闻到千里香
Through snow, moon, wind, and flowers, who senses the fragrance miles away?
种子有土地就可以成长
As long as a seed has soil, it can grow.
我们有嘴巴也可以歌唱
With mouths to speak, we can sing.
谁又对谁说过谎曾经有多辉煌
Who has lied to whom, once shining so bright?
就算天生一对也有是非错对
Even if born as a pair, right and wrong can still collide.
在什么时候爱都不是犯罪
At any time, love is never a crime.
就算得失成败也有颠倒黑白
Even with losses and gains, the truth can flip to black and white.
什么才是我们的形态
What truly defines our form?
这天生就明亮的海洋
This ocean is born bright and clear,
谁负责欣赏
Who takes on the role of appreciation?
当城市偶然得到太阳
When the city accidentally meets the sun,
还建造围墙
Still, they build their walls.
每个人努力漂亮活的有希望
Everyone strives to live beautifully, full of hope,
天生这一副模样有没有被天养
Is this natural appearance nurtured by heaven?
也都无关痛痒
Still, it matters not in the grand scheme.
有太多文章一触就发亮
So many words shine when touched,
有太少快乐一直到死亡
Yet so little joy lasts until death.
连感觉都不正常
Even feelings seem abnormal.
一天比一年长
Each day grows longer than the year before.
就算天生一对也有是非错对
Even if we're born as a pair, there's right and wrong to explore.
在什么时候爱都不是犯罪
No matter the time, love is never a crime.
就算得失成败也有颠倒黑白
Even in gains and losses, black and white can flip their design.
什么才是我们的形态
What truly defines our state?
这天生就明亮的海洋
This ocean that's born to shine so bright.
谁负责欣赏
Who takes on the role of appreciation?
当城市偶然得到太阳
When the city unexpectedly meets the sun's illumination.
还建造围墙
Yet still, they build walls around.
每个人努力漂亮活的有希望
Everyone strives to live beautifully, filled with hope profound.
天生这一副模样有没有被天养
Is this natural face born, nurtured by the heavens?
也都无关痛痒
It all matters not a bit.
当时间已经变成过场
When time has turned into a mere passage,
我只能坚强
I can only be strong.
当时代开始习惯失望
When the era begins to embrace disappointment,
我只能遗忘
I can only forget.
每个人努力漂亮活的有希望
Everyone strives to live beautifully, filled with hope.
天生这一副模样有没有被天养
Is this natural face born, nurtured by the heavens?
也都无关痛痒
It all matters not a bit.
