总算是流干了眼泪
At last, the tears have all run dry.
总算习惯了残忍
Finally used to the harshness of life.
太阳每天都照常升起
The sun rises as usual every day.
在烂醉的清晨
In the hazy mornings of drunkenness.
像早前的天真梦想
Like the naive dreams from before.
被时光损毁
Ruined by the passage of time.
再没什么能让我下跪
Nothing can make me kneel again.
我们笑着灰飞烟灭
We laugh as we turn to ashes and dust.
人如鸿毛 命若野草
Like a feather in the wind, a life like wild grass.
无可救药 卑贱又骄傲
Hopelessly lowly yet proudly defiant.
无所期待 无可乞讨
Nothing to hope for, nothing to beg for
命运如刀 就让我来领教
Fate cuts like a knife, let me feel its edge
总算是流干了眼泪
Finally, my tears have all run dry
总算习惯了残忍
Finally, I've grown used to the cruelty
太阳每天都照常升起
The sun rises as usual every day
在烂醉的清晨
In the haze of a drunken morning
像早前的天真梦想
Like the innocent dreams of the past
被时光损毁
Ruined by the passage of time
再没什么能让我下跪
Nothing can bring me to my knees anymore
我们笑着灰飞烟灭
We laugh as we turn to dust
人如鸿毛 命若野草
People are like feathers, destinies like wild grass
无可救药 卑贱又骄傲
Hopelessly lost, both humble and proud
无所期待 无可乞讨
With no expectations, no place to beg
命运如刀 就让我来领教
Fate is like a knife, let me see what it can do
人如鸿毛 命若野草
People are like feathers, destinies like wild grass
无可救药 卑贱又骄傲
Hopelessly lost, both humble and proud
无所期待 无可乞讨
With no expectations, no place to beg
命运如刀 就让我来领教
Fate is like a knife, let me see what it can do
