天性给我的决心
The determination that nature grants me
这一生不靠双亲
In this life, I rely not on my parents
向远方笑着奔
Laughing as I run towards the horizon
不爱等也不爱跟
Not one to wait, nor to follow
每一天都要清新
Every day must feel fresh
世事远近
The affairs of the world, far and near
让我都可以接近
Allowing me to draw near to them all
昂然同行唯独是脚印
Marching proudly, leaving only footprints behind
哪管它途中一切是与非
No matter what is right or wrong along the way
伤我心
It wounds my heart
天空的浮云像我的一生
The drifting clouds in the sky reflect my life
飘忽中不要庇荫
Floating around, don't seek refuge
每次错与对的教训
Every lesson from right and wrong
溶入我自信心
Melts into my confidence
总不管旁人会否猜得出
Always regardless if others can guess
心中的喜恶怨愤
The loves and hates within my heart
每次去爱最终教训
Every time I love, in the end it's a lesson
仍是我伴我走一个人
Still, it's just me walking alone
天性给我的决心
The resolve that my nature gives me
这一生不靠双亲
In this life, I rely not on my parents
向远方笑着奔
Running towards the distance with a smile,
不爱等也不爱跟
I neither love to wait nor follow,
每一天都要清新
Each day I strive to be renewed,
世事远近
In this world, both near and far,
让我都可以接近
Let me draw closer to it all,
昂然同行唯独是脚印
Walking with pride, it's just our footprints,
哪管它途中一切是与非
No matter the right or wrong along the way,
伤我心
It wounds my heart,
天空的浮云像我的一生
The floating clouds in the sky mirror my life,
飘忽中不要庇荫
In this drifting, do not seek shelter.
每次错与对的教训
Every lesson from right and wrong,
溶入我自信心
Melts into my self-confidence.
总不管旁人会否猜得出
No matter if others can guess it all,
心中的喜恶怨愤
The joys and sorrows in my heart.
每次去爱最终教训
Every time I love, the final lesson,
仍是我伴我走一个人
Is still me walking alone.
天空中的浮云像我的一生
The floating clouds in the sky resemble my life,
飘忽中不要庇荫
Drifting without any shelter.
每次错与对的教训
Every lesson from right and wrong,
溶入我自信心
Melts into my self-confidence.
总不管旁人会否猜得出
No matter if others can guess it right,
心中的喜恶怨愤
The joys and grudges within my heart,
每次去爱最终教训
Each time I love, there's a lesson learned,
仍是我伴我走一个人
Still, it's me who walks this path alone.
