常呆骂老天
Always cursing the heavens,
竟把我困在爱的小黑点
For trapping me in love's small black spot.
闷极过了六年
It's been six years of suffocating pain,
期望有天
Hoping one day,
抛开了爱并来到生命乐园
To cast love aside and reach life's paradise.
独自探索去挑战
Venturing out alone to challenge the unknown,
但面对新转变
Yet faced with this new transformation,
身体意念仍在斗争纠缠
My body and mind still wrapped in struggle and fight.
脚步留在昨天
Footsteps linger in yesterday,
难割断 (莫变迁)
Hard to sever (do not change).
为何跟她不相见人还乱? (心莫变迁)
Why do we not meet, yet the heart is still confused? (Do not change, heart)
为何跟她不相见仍怀念?
Why do we not meet her, yet still long for the past?
请给我主宰与打算
Please grant me control and plans
人在这天
Amidst this day,
心底里意愿来到摆在面前
Deep inside, the desire stands before me
梦幻世界已可见
The dreamlike world is now in sight
但面对新转变
But facing this new change,
身体意念仍在斗争纠缠
Body and mind are still in struggle and entanglement
脚步留在昨天
Footsteps linger in yesterday
难割断(莫变迁)
It's hard to sever ties (Do not change)
为何跟她不相见人还乱? (心莫变迁)
Why, not seeing her, does my heart still wander? (Don't let it change)
为何跟她不相见仍怀念?
Why, not seeing her, do I still hold on to these memories?
但面对新转变
Yet facing this new transformation,
身体意念仍在斗争纠缠
My body and mind are still entwined in this struggle.
脚步留在昨天
My footsteps linger in yesterday,
难割断 (莫变迁)
So hard to sever (Don't let it change)
为何跟她不相见人还乱? (心莫变迁)
Why, not seeing her, does my heart still wander? (Don't let it change)
为何跟她不相见仍怀念?
Why, not seeing her, do I still hold on to these memories?
为何跟她不相见仍怀念?
Why, not seeing her, do I still hold on to these memories?
请给我主宰与打算
Please grant me the power and the plans.
请给我主宰与打算
Please give me control and a plan
