人大了方知天有几高
As I grow up, I realize how high the sky can be.
停下了方知走了弯路
When I stop, I see I've taken the wrong path.
从晚间等清早 等青春不苍老
Waiting from night until dawn, hoping youth won't grow old.
还尚有多久等我虚耗?
How much longer must I wait, while I squander my time?
时日太快 无知的小孩一晚长大
Time flies too fast, a naive child grows up overnight.
有些爱身边擦过 无奈眼光未放大
Some love brushes by, yet my vision stays narrow.
才明白能活于一分一秒 当下仍愉快
Only now do I understand living in every moment, still finding joy.
咬紧拳头不怕挨 青葱岁月会跑得很快
Clenching my fists, unafraid of the struggle, youthful days dash by.
留下了 不懂把你当宝
I left behind, not knowing how to cherish you as a treasure.
离别了 方清楚你的好
Only in parting do I clearly see your goodness.
还要等数十年 双手触摸不到
Still waiting for decades, hands can't touch the sky,
才骤觉很想跟你拥抱
Only then did I suddenly long to embrace you.
时日太快 无知的小孩一晚长大
Time flows too quickly, the unaware child grows up overnight.
太多爱 斤斤计较还未算清便分解
Too much love, counting every detail, still not settled before it breaks apart.
才明白能活于一分一秒 当下仍愉快
Only then did I understand the joy of living in every moment, still being present.
咬紧拳头不怕挨 青葱岁月会跑得很快
Clenching my fists, not afraid of enduring, youthful days will fly by fast.
用你心来尽握一生一世 未来才愉快
With your heart, embrace a lifetime, only then will the future be joyful.
那管无聊的安排 不可教梦与想被活埋
Who cares about boring plans, don't let dreams and thoughts be buried alive.
昨天那无知小孩珍惜你尚有这份情怀
Yesterday's unaware child treasured you, still cherishing this feeling.
