小时候 想长大 逃离不懂我的家
As a child, I dreamed of growing up, escaping the home that didn’t understand me.
要翅膀 自己闯 不让谁决定方向
I want wings to forge my own path, not letting anyone decide my direction.
长大后 裹著伤 走过幸福身旁
After I grew up, wrapped in scars, I walked past happiness.
才了解 自由也是流浪
Only then did I understand that freedom also means wandering.
想寻找绿洲
I want to find an oasis.
我横越沙漠
I cross the desert.
眼前的风中
In the wind before me,
是成真的梦 还是海市蜃楼
Is it a dream come true or just a mirage?
天边有一座城堡
There’s a castle on the horizon.
不放弃拼命的找 (总算找到)
I won’t give up, searching desperately (finally found).
忘记了失去多少
Forgotten how much I've lost
我的眼里阳光在跳跃
In my eyes, the sunlight dances
天边有一片青草
A patch of green grass on the horizon
不肯被积雪压倒 (努力长高)
Refusing to be weighed down by the snow (growing tall with effort)
成熟不是心变老
Maturity isn't just a heart that grows old
是泪在打转还能微笑
It's tears that spin but can still smile
小时候 想长大 逃离不懂我的家
When I was young, wished to grow up, escaping from the family that didn't understand me
要翅膀 自己闯 不让谁决定方向
Need wings to venture out, not letting anyone decide my direction
长大后 裹著伤 走过幸福身旁
After growing up, wrapped in wounds, walking past happiness
才了解 自由也是流浪
Only then do I understand that freedom is also wandering
想寻找绿洲
I want to find an oasis
我横越沙漠
I cross the desert
眼前的风中
In the wind before me
是成真的梦 还是海市蜃楼
Is it a dream come true or just a mirage?
天边有一座城堡
On the horizon, there's a castle
不放弃拼命的找 (总算找到)
I won't give up, searching with all my might (finally found)
忘记了失去多少
I’ve forgotten how much I've lost
我的眼里阳光在跳跃
In my eyes, the sunlight dances
天边有一片青草
On the horizon, there's a patch of green grass
不肯被积雪压倒 (努力长高)
Refusing to be crushed by the snow (growing high)
成熟不是心变老
Maturity isn't having an aging heart
是泪在打转还能微笑
It's the tears that swirl yet still can smile
天边有一座城堡
On the horizon lies a castle fair
不放弃拼命的找 (总算找到)
I won't give up, I’ll search with all my might (finally found)
忘记了失去多少
Forgetting how much I've lost along the way
我的眼里阳光在跳跃
In my eyes, the sunlight dances bright
天边有一片青草
On the horizon is a field so green
不肯被积雪压倒 (努力长高)
Refusing to be crushed by the snow's weight (growing ever tall)
成熟不是心变老
Maturity isn't having an aging heart
是泪在打转还能微笑
It's the tears that swirl yet still can smile
