无话可说 也许是因为漂泊
No words to say, perhaps it's because I'm drifting
我温了一壶乡愁 将往事喝个够
I've warmed a pot of hometown longing, sipping memories to my heart's content
有些失落 也许是因为寂寞
Some sense of loss, perhaps it's due to loneliness
那杯苦涩的乡愁 叫我难以入喉
That bitter cup of homesickness makes it hard to swallow
什么 过错 多年后还会让人难过
What mistakes linger on, even years later, still bring sorrow
生活 到底缺少什么 我沉默
What is life really missing? I remain silent
离家出走 当母亲的华发变白头
Running away from home, as my mother's hair turns to silver
我说 总要受过伤后 才懂得成熟
I say, only after being hurt do we truly learn to grow
什么时候 我还能再牵着你的手
When will I hold your hand again?
母亲的怀抱最自由 最温柔
A mother's embrace is the freest, the softest
有些失落 也许是因为寂寞
Sometimes lost, perhaps it's due to loneliness.
那杯苦涩的乡愁 叫我难以入喉
That cup of bitter nostalgia is hard to swallow.
什么 过错 多年后还会让人难过
What mistakes will still bring sorrow many years later?
生活 到底缺少什么 我沉默
What is it that life truly lacks? I remain silent.
离家出走 当母亲的华发变白头
Running away from home as my mother's hair turns gray.
我说 总要受过伤后 才懂得成熟
I say, only after being hurt can one truly understand maturity.
什么时候 我还能再牵着你的手
When will I be able to hold your hand again?
母亲的怀抱最自由 最温柔
A mother's embrace is the freest and the softest.
