拥有的失去了 期待的全都落空了
What we had is now lost, all our hopes have fallen through,
喜欢的不再爱了
The love I cherished has faded away.
遗忘的想起了 不再见的也重逢了
Forgotten memories now resurface, reunions with faces long unseen,
某些眼泪又笑了
Some tears are now laughing again.
这是人生的无常
This is the unpredictability of life,
还是人类的日常?
Or just the routine of being human?
生命有多么无常
Life is so full of uncertainties,
生活还不是如常
Yet our everyday existence remains the same.
管明天天气会是怎么样
Who cares what tomorrow's weather might be like?
今天的雨还是要懂欣赏
Today’s rain still deserves to be appreciated.
管明天的花会不会盛放
Will tomorrow's flowers bloom or not?
眼前的蝶还是迷恋花香 多平常
The butterfly before me is still enchanted by the flower’s scent, how ordinary.
失去的不要了 落空的不再惦记了
What's lost is not desired, what’s empty is no longer remembered.
不爱了就爱别的
If love is gone, then love something else.
遗忘的不想了 不再见的再不见了
What’s forgotten is no longer thought of, what’s not seen again is truly gone.
眼泪掉了就掉了
Tears fall as they will.
生活就算再正常 (生活就算再正常)
Even if life remains normal (even if life remains normal),
生命还不是无常? (还不是无常)
Isn’t life still unpredictable? (Isn’t it unpredictable?)
就用人类的日常 (人类日常)
Let’s embrace the daily routines of humanity (daily routines of humanity).
放过人生的无常
Release life's unpredictability.
管明天天气会是怎么样
I wonder what the weather will be like tomorrow
今天的雨还是要懂欣赏
Today's rain still deserves appreciation
管明天的花会不会盛放
I wonder if tomorrow's flowers will bloom
眼前的蝶还是迷恋花香
The butterflies here still linger by the flowers' scent
Aye-yeah-yeah, aye-yeah-yeah
Aye-yeah-yeah, aye-yeah-yeah
Aye-yeah-yeah, aye-yeah-yeah
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh
管明天天空会是怎么样
I wonder what the sky will be like tomorrow
今天的蓝也要好好赞赏
Today's blue also deserves to be praised
管明天的蝶会不会飞翔
Who cares if tomorrow's butterfly will soar?
此刻的谁也为它鼓过掌
At this moment, who has applauded for it before?
管人生还会有多少无常
Who cares how much unpredictability life might hold?
迫在眉睫是眼前的日常
What looms close is the daily routine we unfold.
当每天好像没明天一样
When each day feels like there’s no tomorrow,
才懂平常有多么不平常 多简单
Only then do we grasp how extraordinary the ordinary can show.
