谁天生拥有一切吗
Who is born with everything, I ask?
谁天生喜爱听到假说话
Who is born loving to hear false tales?
就算上帝多仁慈不须犹疑
Even if God is kind, there's no need for doubt,
是个基本的笑话
It's just a basic joke, you see.
谁甘心一世给雨洒
Who would willingly let the rain fall on them for a lifetime?
谁高声呼叫听不到也罢
Who screams loudly when no one can hear anyway?
就到末世的同时不敢怀疑
When the end times come, dare not question,
是你这刻找到真谛而害怕
It's you who finds truth now, and yet fears.
尚未淌泪 随便即管 嘲笑我
Still not shedding tears, just casually laugh at me,
亦未甘愿 随著漆黑中溶化
Nor am I willing to fade into darkness.
不须停留
No need to linger
不必再骂我 倔强滥用自由
No need to scold me again, stubbornly misusing freedom
若后悔但无内疚
If regret exists but not guilt
是我为信念 奉上最新的借口
It's me, offering the latest excuse for my beliefs
不需回头
No need to look back
不必再骂我 为了瞬间拥有
No need to scold me again, for the moment of possession
若是痛恨我 未珍惜过
If you hate me, you never cherished what we had
我会自言自语中 说我没错
I will talk to myself, insisting I'm not wrong
谁终于得永生也好
Whoever finally gains eternal life is fine
谁终归天国更不需仰慕
Whoever returns to heaven needs no admiration
若太在意这名词 躲于歧途
If you're too concerned about this term, you'll hide in the wrong path
未免失色得太早
It's too soon to lose color,
谁冲不开你的领土
Who can't break through your territory?
愿你亦让我倾诉
I hope you also let me speak my mind.
渡过落泊的沿途 不需酬劳
Crossing through the rough journey, there's no need for a reward.
就盼今生今世终会能遇到
I just hope that in this life and the next, we'll meet someday.
尚未淌泪 随便即管 嘲笑我
Not yet in tears, feel free to mock me,
亦未甘愿 随著漆黑中溶化
Also unwilling to melt away in the darkness,
不须停留
No need to linger,
不必再骂我 倔强滥用自由
No need to berate me again, stubbornly misusing freedom.
若后悔但无内疚
If you regret but feel no guilt,
是我为信念 奉上最新的借口
It's me, for my belief, presenting the latest excuse.
不需回头
No need to look back.
不必再骂我 为了瞬间拥有
No need to curse me again, for a fleeting possession.
若是痛恨我 未珍惜过
If you hate me, yet have not cherished the past,
我会自言自语中 说我没错
I’ll talk to myself, proclaiming I am not wrong.
不须停留
No need to stay.
不必再骂我 倔强滥用自由
No need to curse me again, stubbornly abusing freedom.
若后悔但无内疚
If you regret but feel no guilt,
是我为信念 奉上最新的借口
It's me, for my belief, presenting the latest excuse.
不需回头
No need to look back
不必再骂我 为了瞬间拥有
No need to curse me for a moment's gain
若是痛恨我 未珍惜过
If you hate me, you never cherished what we had
我会自言自语中 说我没错
I’ll talk to myself, saying I was not wrong
(不需回头
(No need to look back
不必再骂我 为了瞬间拥有)
No need to curse me for a moment's gain)
若是痛恨我 未珍惜过
If you hate me, you never cherished what we had
到最后回望这生 我也活过
In the end, looking back on this life, I have lived
