曾经年少爱追梦 一心只想往前飞
Once young, I chased my dreams, with all my heart longing to soar ahead.
行遍千山和万水 一路走来不能回
Traveling through mountains and rivers, there’s no turning back on this road.
蓦然回首情已远 身不由己在天边
Suddenly looking back, the feelings have drifted afar; I’m lost at the horizon.
才明白爱恨情仇 最伤最痛是后悔
Only now do I understand love, hate, and revenge; the deepest pain is regret.
如果你不曾心碎
If your heart has never shattered,
你不会懂得我伤悲
You wouldn't understand my sorrow.
当我眼中有泪 别问我是为谁
When tears fill my eyes, don't ask who they're for.
就让我忘了这一切
Just let me forget all of this.
啊 给我一杯忘情水
Ah, give me a cup of forgetfulness water,
换我一夜不流泪
So I can spend a night without tears.
所有真心真意任它雨打风吹
All my heartfelt sincerity, let the rain and wind strike it.
付出的爱收不回
The love I gave cannot be taken back.
给我一杯忘情水
Give me a cup of forgetfulness.
换我一生不伤悲
Trade it for a life free from sorrow.
就算我会喝醉就算我会心碎
Even if I get drunk, even if my heart breaks,
不会看见我流泪
You won’t see me shed a tear.
曾经年少爱追梦 一心只想往前飞
In my youth I chased my dreams, with my heart set on soaring ahead.
行遍千山和万水 一路走来不能回
I’ve wandered through mountains and rivers, unable to return.
蓦然回首情已远 身不由己在天边
Suddenly looking back, love has already faded, my body helpless at the horizon.
才明白爱恨情仇 最伤最痛是后悔
Only then did I understand love and hate, the deepest pain is regret.
如果你不曾心碎
If you've never had a broken heart
你不会懂得我伤悲
You wouldn't understand my sorrow
当我眼中有泪 别问我是为谁
When I have tears in my eyes, don't ask who they're for
就让我忘了这一切
Just let me forget all of this
啊 给我一杯忘情水
Ah, give me a cup of forgetfulness
换我一夜不流泪
So I can spend a night without tears
所有真心真意任它雨打风吹
All my sincerity can weather the storm
付出的爱收不回
The love I gave cannot be taken back
给我一杯忘情水
Give me a cup of forgetfulness
换我一生不伤悲
So I can live my life without sadness
就算我会喝醉 就算我会心碎
Even if I get drunk, even if my heart breaks
不会看见我流泪
You won't see me shed a tear
啊 给我一杯忘情水
Ah, give me a cup of forgetful water
换我一夜不流泪
So I can go a night without weeping
所有真心真意任它雨打风吹
All my true feelings may face the stormy weather
付出的爱收不回
The love I gave cannot be reclaimed
给我一杯忘情水
Give me a cup of forgetful water
换我一生不伤悲
So I can live a lifetime without sorrow
就算我会喝醉就算我会心碎
Even if I get drunk, even if my heart breaks
不会看见我流泪
You won't see me shed a tear
就算我会喝醉就算我会心碎
Even if I get drunk, even if my heart breaks,
不会看见我～流～泪
You won't see me shed a tear~
