轻轻的风 像旧梦的声音
A gentle breeze, like the voice of old dreams
不是我不够坚强 是现实太多僵硬
It's not that I'm not strong enough, it's just that reality is too rigid
逆流的鱼 是天生的命运
The fish swimming upstream is a fate born within
不是我不肯低头 是眼泪让人刺痛
It's not that I won't bow my head, it's the tears that cause the sting
忘记吧 若可以 也算是一种幸运
Forget it, if you can, that too is a kind of luck
如果一个人的心 只能烧出一个名
If a person's heart can only ignite one name
两个人要去到那里 牵著两手 就是个天地
Wherever two go, holding hands, it's a universe of their own
一生啊 有什么可珍惜
In this life, what is there to truly cherish?
流浪人 没奢侈的爱情
Wandering soul, no extravagant love to hold
有今生 今生作兄弟 没来世 来世再想你
In this life, as brothers we'll be; in another, I'll think of you again
漂流的河 一夜每一夜 下著雨 想起你
A drifting river, night after night, it rains, and I think of you.
轻轻的风 像旧梦的声音
A gentle breeze, like the voice of a forgotten dream.
不是我不够坚强 是现实太多僵硬
It's not that I'm not strong enough; it's just that reality is too rigid.
逆流的鱼 是天生的命运
The fish swimming against the current is a fate they’re born into.
不是我不肯低头 是眼泪让人刺痛
It's not that I'm unwilling to bow my head; it's the tears that sting.
忘记吧 若可以 也算是一种幸运
Forget it, if you can; that in itself is a kind of fortune.
如果一个人的心 只能烧出一个名
If one's heart can only burn for one name.
两个人要去到那里 牵著两手 就是个天地
Wherever the two of us go, holding hands, it’s a universe together.
一生啊 有什么可珍惜
In this lifetime, what is there to cherish?
流浪人 没奢侈的爱情
A wanderer, lacking in extravagant love.
有今生 今生作兄弟 没来世 来世再想你
In this life, brothers we shall be, without a next, we'll think of you again in the afterlife.
漂流的河 一夜每一夜 下著雨 想起你
Drifting river, night after night, in the rain, I think of you.
有今生 今生作兄弟 没来世 来是再想你
In this life, brothers we shall be, without a next, we'll think of you again when the time comes.
海上的歌 飘过来飘过去 黑暗里 的回音
Songs on the sea, drifting to and fro, echoes in the dark.
忘记吧 若可以 也算是一种幸运
Forget it, if you can, may be a form of fortune.
如果一个人的心 只能烧出一个名
If a person's heart can only burn for one name.
两个人要去到那里 牵著两手 就是个天地
Wherever two can go, holding hands, becomes a universe.
一生啊 有什么可珍惜
In this life, what is there truly to treasure?
流浪人 没奢侈的爱情
A wanderer's love isn't one of luxury.
有今生 今生作兄弟 没来世 来是再想你
In this life, brothers we shall be, without a next, we'll think of you again when the time comes.
漂流的河 一夜每一夜 下著雨 想起你
The drifting river, every night and night, pouring rain, I think of you.
有今生 今生作兄弟 没来世 来是再想你
In this life, brothers we shall be, with no next life, I'll still be missing you.
海上的歌 飘过来飘过去 黑暗里 的回音
The song on the sea drifts here and there, an echo in the dark.
漂流的河 一夜每一夜 下著雨 想起你
The drifting river, every night and night, pouring rain, I think of you.
