过去告诉我应该怎么做
The past told me how I should proceed
我都是无言的承诺
I bear silent promises within me
虽然我知道世界很辽阔
Though I know the world is vast and wide
可是不属于我
It doesn't belong to me
人间到处是可怕诱惑
The world is full of terrifying temptations
也许你怕我会沦落
Perhaps you fear I might fall from grace
何尝不知道一路多坎坷
How could I not know the path is fraught with challenges?
我总要去摸索
I must explore my way
让我闯闯 请你鼓励我
Let me take my chances, please encourage me
看一看大海的风波
To gaze upon the ocean's turbulent waves
让我闯闯 请你帮助我
Let me venture forth, please help me out
我不愿再象过去一样的脆弱
I refuse to be as weak as I once was
过去你给我那分光和热
In the past, you gifted me warmth and light
永远在我心中闪烁
Forever shimmering in my heart's embrace
请你允许我自己考验我
Please allow me to test myself alone
不要再舍不得
Do not hold back any longer
人间到处是可怕诱惑
The world is filled with terrifying temptations
也许你怕我会沦落
Perhaps you're afraid I'll lose my way
何尝不知道一路多坎坷
How could I not know the path is fraught with trials?
我总要去摸索
I must feel my way through it all
让我闯闯 请你鼓励我
Let me take a chance, please encourage me
看一看大海的风波
Take a look at the waves of the sea
让我闯闯 请你帮助我
Let me take a chance, please help me
我不愿再象过去一样的脆弱
I no longer want to be as fragile as before
让我闯闯 请你鼓励我
Let me take a chance, please encourage me
看一看大海的风波
Take a look at the waves of the sea
让我闯闯 请你帮助我
Let me take a chance, please help me
我不愿再象过去一样的脆弱
I no longer want to be as fragile as before
