冷冷的雨 陪伴世间的讽刺
Cold rain accompanies the world's sarcasm
像告诉我不可再尝试
It feels like telling me not to try again
潮流由人作主 反叛没用处
Trends are ruled by people, rebellion serves no purpose
一颗心偏继续坚持
Yet one heart continues to hold on
错过几次 曾亦痛心几多次
Missing out a few times, I've felt pain many times too
但错了再改 失了又试
But if I'm wrong, I’ll amend; if I lose, I’ll try again
就算这次我输 不输掉心意
Even if I lose this time, I won’t lose my spirit
明日我又再卷起壮志
Tomorrow I’ll rise again with my ambitions
生存只可得一次
Life can only be lived once
要后退 要后悔 不可以
To retreat, to regret, is not allowed
尽全力在这生 寻求自身意义
With all my might in this life, I seek my own meaning.
光阴里记下我的诗
In time, I jot down my poetry.
生存即使得一次
Survival, even if just once.
也愿意继续试不管风雨
I'm willing to keep trying, come what may.
是成败也好 谁能预知际遇
Success or failure, who can predict their fate?
祇知用心活一次
Only know to live sincerely, just once.
错过几次 曾亦痛心几多次
I've missed a few times, and felt the pain many times.
但错了再改 失了又试
But if I err, I'll correct it; if I lose, I'll try again.
就算这次我输 不输掉心意
Even if I lose this time, I won't lose my spirit.
明日我又再卷起壮志
Tomorrow, I'll rise again with great aspirations.
生存只可得一次
Life can only be lived once
要后退 要后悔 不可以
To step back, to regret, no way
尽全力在这生 寻求自身意义
With all my might in this life, seeking my own meaning
光阴里记下我的诗
In time, I write down my poetry
生存即使得一次
Though life is but once
也愿意继续试不管风雨
I'm willing to keep trying, come what may
是成败也好 谁能预知际遇
Success or failure, who can foresee fate?
祇知用心活一次
Just know to live fully, just once
