江湖一笑 浪滔滔 红尘尽忘了
With a smile, the rivers and lakes flow on, forgetting the bustling world beyond.
俱往矣 何足言道
All that's gone, what's left to say?
苍天一笑 笑不老 豪情却会了
The heavens smile, timeless and ageless, yet bold ambitions fade away.
对月饮 一杯寂寥
Drinking to the moon, a cup of solitude.
剑起江湖恩怨 拂袖罩明月
With drawn swords in the rivers and lakes, I brush away the moonlight.
西风叶落花谢 枕刀剑难眠
Western winds blow, leaves fall, flowers fade; it's hard to sleep with a knife by my side.
汝为山河过客 却总长叹伤离别
You are a traveler through mountains and rivers, yet you always sigh for parting.
鬓如霜 一杯浓烈
Tempestuous as frost, a cup of strong spirit.
只身走过多少的岁月 看惯刀光照亮过黑夜
How many years have I walked alone, getting used to the blade's light piercing the night?
侠骨魔心如何来分辨 弹指一梦不过一瞬间
How does one discern the chivalrous soul from the demonic heart? A snap of the fingers, and dreams are but a fleeting moment.
黄沙之中的残阳如血 多少魂魄在此地寂灭
The blood-red sunset in the yellow sands, how many souls have faded away here.
这成败 有谁来了解
Who truly understands the rise and fall?
江湖一笑 浪滔滔 红尘尽忘了
With a smile in the rivers and lakes, the waves surge, all worldly concerns forgotten.
俱往矣 何足言道
All has passed, what more is there to say?
苍天一笑 笑不老 豪情却会了
The heavens laugh, youthful forever, yet boldness can fade away.
对月饮 一杯寂寥
Toasting to the moon, a cup of solitude.
只身走过多少的岁月 看惯刀光照亮过黑夜
How many years have I walked alone, accustomed to the blade's light illuminating the night.
侠骨魔心如何来分辨 弹指一梦不过一瞬间
How can we distinguish between a hero's spirit and a devil's heart? A snap of the fingers, a dream is just a fleeting moment.
黄沙之中的残阳如血 多少魂魄在此地寂灭
The blood-red sunset in the yellow sands, how many souls have faded away here.
这成败 有谁来了解
Who truly understands the rise and fall?
江湖一笑 浪滔滔 红尘尽忘了
A smile in the rivers and lakes, waves crashing, all the worldly troubles forgotten.
俱往矣 何足言道
All has passed, what is there to say?
苍天一笑 笑不老 豪情却会了
The heavens smile, forever young, yet the passion fades away.
对月饮 一杯寂寥
To the moon I drink, a cup of solitude.
也曾横刀 向天笑 数过路迢迢
Once I laughed with a sword raised, counting the long roads ahead.
数不完 夕阳晚照
Endless is the sunset's glow.
苍天一笑 乐逍遥 江湖人自扰
The heavens smile, joy is carefree, yet the river folks remain troubled.
留不住 爱恨离潮
Love and hate cannot be held, they ebb like the tide.
