生如夏花 lyrics with English translation

也不知在黑暗中究竟沉睡了多久

Not knowing how long I've been asleep in the dark,

也不知要有多难才能睁开双眼

Not knowing how hard it will be to open my eyes.

我从远方赶来恰巧你们也在

I rushed from afar, and coincidentally, you were here, too.

痴迷流连人间我为她而狂野

Obsession lingers in this world; I go wild for her.

我是这耀眼的瞬间

I am this dazzling moment,

是划过天边的刹那火焰

A fleeting flame that streaks across the sky.

我为你来看我不顾一切

I came to see you, disregarding everything else.

我将熄灭永不能再回来

I will extinguish, never able to return.

我在这里啊 就在这里啊

I am here, yes, right here,

惊鸿一般短暂 象夏花一样绚烂

As short-lived as a startling swan, as splendid as summer flowers.

这是一个多美丽又遗憾的世界

What a beautiful yet regretful world this is,

我们就这样抱著笑著还流著泪

We hold each other, smiling while shedding tears,

我从远方赶来赴你一面之约

I rushed from afar to meet you for this moment,

痴迷流连人间我为她而狂野

Obsessed and lingering in this realm, I go wild for her,

我是这耀眼的瞬间

I am this dazzling instant,

是划过天边的刹那火焰

Like the fleeting flame that cuts across the sky,

我为你来看我不顾一切

I came for you, disregarding everything,

我将熄灭永不能再回来

I will extinguish, never to return,

我在这里啊 就在这里啊

I am here, oh, right here,

惊鸿一般短暂 象夏花一样绚烂

Brief like a startled swan, brilliant like summer blooms.

我是这耀眼的瞬间

I am this dazzling moment

是划过天边的刹那火焰

A fleeting flame that crosses the sky

我为你来看我不顾一切

I came for you, disregarding everything

我将熄灭永不能再回来

I will extinguish, never to return

不虚此行啊 不虚此行啊

This journey is not in vain, oh, not in vain

惊鸿一般短暂 开放在你眼前

Like a startled swan, so brief, blooming before your eyes

我是这耀眼的瞬间

I am this dazzling moment

是划过天边的刹那火焰

A fleeting flame that crosses the sky

我为你来看我不顾一切

I came for you, disregarding everything

我将熄灭永不能再回来

I will extinguish, never to return

一路春光啊 一路荆棘啊

A journey of springtime, ah, a path of thorns, ah

惊鸿一般短暂 象夏花一样绚烂

As fleeting as a startled swan, dazzling like summer's bloom

这是一个不能停留太久的世界

This is a world where we cannot linger for too long
