悠悠岁月
In the passage of time,
欲说当年好困惑
I wanted to speak of the past, so perplexed,
亦真亦幻难取舍
Both real and illusory, hard to choose,
悲欢离合
Joy and sorrow, parting and union,
都曾经有过
Have all been experienced,
这样执着
Such persistence,
究竟为什么？
What exactly is the reason?
漫漫人生路
In the long journey of life,
上下求索
Searching high and low,
心中渴望...
A desire within the heart...
真诚的生活
A life of sincerity
谁能告诉我
Who can tell me
是对还是错
What's right or wrong?
问询南来
Inquire of the traveler from the south
北往的客
Heading northward,
悠悠岁月
Through the passing years,
欲说当年好困惑
Yearning to express the confusion of those days,
亦真亦幻难取舍
Both real and illusion, hard to choose,
悲欢离合
Joy and sorrow, parting and reunion,
都曾经有过
Have all been experienced.
这样执着
Such a persistence,
究竟为什么？
What is it all for?
漫漫人生路
On this long road of life,
上下求索
Searching high and low,
心中渴望...
A longing in my heart...
真诚的生活
Living with sincerity,
谁能告诉我
Who can tell me,
是对还是错
What’s right or wrong?
问询南来
Asking the travelers from the south,
北往的客
Heading northward.
恩怨忘却
Let go of grudges and forget the past,
留下真情从头说
Leaving behind true feelings to start anew.
相伴人间
Companions in this world,
万家灯火
With countless lights shining bright.
故事不多
Few stories remain,
宛如平常一段歌
Like an everyday song.
过去未来共斟酌
Reflecting on the past and future together,
过去未来共斟酌
Reflecting on the past and future together.
