曾梦想仗剑走天涯
Once dreamed of roaming the world with a sword in hand,
看一看世界的繁华
To glimpse the splendor of this vast land.
年少的心总有些轻狂
In youth, a heart is always reckless and bold,
如今你四海为家
Now, you call the whole wide world home, behold.
曾让你心疼的姑娘
The girl who once made your heart ache so,
如今已悄然无踪影
Is now quietly vanished, without a trace to show.
爱情总让你渴望又感到烦恼
Love always leaves you longing and distressed,
曾让你遍体鳞伤
Once it left you battered, feeling so possessed.

走在勇往直前的路上
Walking bravely on this road ahead

有难过也有精彩
There's both sorrow and brilliance
每一次难过的时候
Every time I'm feeling down
就独自看一看大海
I just gaze at the ocean alone
总想起身边走在路上的朋友
I always think of the friends beside me
有多少正在疗伤
How many are healing their wounds
DiLiLi...
DiLiLi...
DiLiLi...
DiLiLi...
DiLiLi...
DiLiLi...
不知多少孤独的夜晚
So many lonely nights I’ve known
DiLiLi...
DiLiLi...
DiLiLi...
DiLiLi...
DiLiLi...
DiLiLi...
从昨夜酒醉醒来
Waking up from last night's drunken haze
每一次难过的时候
Every time I'm feeling down
就独自看一看大海
I just gaze at the sea alone
总想起身边走在路上的朋友
Always thinking of friends walking by my side
有多少正在醒来
How many are waking up
让我们干了这杯酒
So let's raise a toast to this drink
好男儿胸怀像大海
A good man’s heart is as vast as the sea
经历了人生百态世间的冷暖
Having experienced life’s myriad states, the warmth and chill of the world
这笑容温暖纯真
This smile is warm and pure
每一次难过的时候
Every time I feel down
就独自看一看大海
I just gaze at the sea all alone
总想起身边走在路上的朋友
Always thinking of friends walking by my side
有多少正在醒来
How many are waking up
让我们干了这杯酒
Let's raise our glass and drink this toast,
好男儿胸怀像大海
A good man’s heart is as vast as the ocean.
经历了人生百态世间的冷暖
Having faced the myriad shades of life, both warm and cold,
这笑容温暖纯真
This smile is warm and sincere.
