远远东方 旧日那里
Far in the east, where it all began,
有我的根 无穷旧事
Is where my roots lie, endless old tales.
熟落的笑面和伴侣
Familiar smiles and beloved companions,
到了西方 活在这里
Have arrived in the west, living right here.
我觉孤单 常常独自
I feel so lonely, often all alone,
在夜之角落回望去
Looking back in the corners of the night.
亦试过对影偷偷落泪
I've tried to shed tears in secret with my shadow,
但强说不想归去
But I insist I don’t want to go back.
就算那固执的心极累
Even if my stubborn heart is worn out,
亦永远不甘在途上屈膝与倒退
I will never yield on this path, nor retreat.
(我) 要似猛风不撤退 (从未怕累)
I want to be like a fierce wind, never retreating (never afraid of fatigue)
无论我在那方仰首冲去
No matter where I am, I gaze upward and charge ahead
我(我) 要似猛风不撤退
I want to be like a fierce wind, never retreating
前面有百万个山 我通通要高据
With millions of mountains ahead, I will conquer them all
远远的家 旧日语句
A distant home, phrases from the past
过去的歌 从前月亮
Songs of yesteryears, the moon from long ago
并未跟岁月流逝去
Have not faded with the passing years
我却不想活在过去
Yet I do not want to live in the past
要化悲伤成为力量
I want to transform sorrow into strength
旧事只放在甜梦里
Old stories are tucked away in sweet dreams
就算我间中偷偷落泪
Even if I secretly shed tears sometimes,
亦笑说不想归去
I still laugh and say I don’t want to go back.
就算那固执的心极累
Even if my stubborn heart is exhausted,
就算更艰苦亦迎著高天再冲去
Even if it gets tougher, I’ll surge towards the high skies.
(我) 要似猛风不撤退
(I) want to be like a fierce wind, never retreating.
无论我在那方仰首冲去
No matter where I am, I’ll tilt my head and rush forward.
我(我) 要似猛风不撤退
I (I) want to be like a fierce wind, never retreating.
前面有百万个山 我通通要高据 (不撤退 不撤退)
There are millions of mountains ahead, and I’ll conquer them all (never retreating, never retreating).
(我) 要似猛风不撤退
(I) want to be like a fierce wind, never retreating.
无论我在那方仰首冲去
No matter where I am, I’ll tilt my head and rush forward.
我(我) 要似猛风不撤退
I want to be like a fierce wind, never backing down
前面有百万个山 我通通要高据 (不撤退 不撤退)
Ahead lie a million mountains, and I will conquer them all (never backing down, never backing down)
(我) 要似猛风不撤退
(I) want to be like a fierce wind, never backing down
无论我在那方仰首冲去
No matter where I am, I will charge forward with my head held high
我(我) 要似猛风不撤退
I want to be like a fierce wind, never backing down
前面有百万个山 我通通要高据 (不撤退 不撤退)
Ahead lie a million mountains, and I will conquer them all (never backing down, never backing down)
