Lyrics by: Chow Yiu Fai
想到岩石有花草
Thinking of rocks adorned with flowers and grass
泥路有珠宝
The muddy road holds jewels
能期望在西部找得到
Can we hope to find it in the West?
情绪那么好
Feeling so good
情爱想不老
Love desires to remain forever young
如期望在沙漠出土
Like hoping to unearth treasures in the desert
愿我采到
May I gather
埋藏的彩数
Buried colors of fate
开发在途上继续明白
On the road of exploration, I keep understanding.
心的溪涧
The stream of the heart
目中的远山
The distant mountains in my gaze
未明白继续明白
Not understanding, yet still comprehending
自己的新世界
My own new world
必须开发
It must be developed
看黄地那么好
Look how splendid the yellow land is
难及我的好
Hardly matching my own goodness
如游牧在西部亦不枯燥
Like wandering in the West, it's never dull
放弃地图
Let go of the map
才会找得到
Only then will I find my way
如游牧在沙漠都可与风起舞
Like a nomad dancing with the wind in the desert,
和谁都拥抱
Embracing anyone,
在途上继续明白
Continuing to understand on the journey,
心的溪涧
The stream of the heart,
目中的远山
The distant mountains in my gaze,
未明白继续明白
Not understood, yet continuing to comprehend,
自己的新世界
My own new world,
必须开发
Must be explored,
而期待比戈壁大
And hope is greater than the Gobi Desert,
而怀念比沙粒更细密快开始
And memories are denser than grains of sand, let's begin.
憧憬无限可惜光阴有限
Infinite dreams, but time is so limited,
在途上继续明白
On this journey, I keep understanding,
心的溪涧
The stream of my heart,
目中的远山
The distant mountains in my eyes,
未明白继续明白
Still seeking to understand what I don't know,
自己的新世界
My own new world,
与我开始
Let's begin together,
到那里也愿明白
Willing to understand even when we arrive there,
心的溪涧
The stream of my heart,
目中的远山
The distant mountains in my eyes.
到那里也愿明白
Wishing to understand when I get there
自己的新世界
My own new world
与我开始
Let it begin with me
