我剑何去何从? 爱与恨 情难独钟
Where does my sword go, where does it come from? Love and hate, hard to choose just one.
我刀划破长空 是与非 懂也不懂
My blade slices through the vast sky, right and wrong, understood yet not understood.
我醉 一片朦胧 恩与怨 是幻是空
I’m drunk, in a haze so deep, grace and resentment, are they real or just empty?
我醒 一场春梦 生与死 一切成空
I awaken, from a spring dream, life and death, all is but a void.
来也匆匆 去也匆匆 恨不能相逢
Coming swiftly, leaving swiftly, regretting not our meeting.
爱也匆匆 恨也匆匆 一切都随风
Love comes quickly, hate comes quickly, everything just drifts with the wind.
狂笑一声 长叹一声 快活一声 悲哀一声
With a wild laugh, a long sigh, a shout of joy, a voice of sorrow.
谁与我生死与共?
Who stands with me through life and death?
来也匆匆 去也匆匆 恨不能相逢
Coming swiftly, leaving swiftly, regretting not our meeting.
爱也匆匆 恨也匆匆 一切都随风
Love comes quickly, hate comes quickly, everything just drifts with the wind.
狂笑一声 长叹一声 快活一声 悲哀一声
A wild laugh, a long sigh, a joyful shout, a cry of sorrow.
谁与我生死与共?
Who will share life and death with me?
我哭 泪洒心中 悲与欢 苍天捉弄
I weep, tears fall within, joy and sorrow, the heavens tease.
我笑 我狂 我疯 天与地 风起云涌
I laugh, I rave, I'm crazy; the sky and earth, the winds rise and swirl.
我醉 一片朦胧 恩与怨 是幻是空
I am drunk, surrounded by haze, love and hatred, is it illusion or void?
我醒 一场春梦 生与死 一切成空
I awaken, from a spring dream, life and death, all becomes nothing.
来也匆匆 去也匆匆 恨不能相逢
Coming in a rush, leaving in a hurry, how I wish we could meet.
爱也匆匆 恨也匆匆 一切都随风
Love comes in a hurry, hate also swift, everything drifts with the wind.
狂笑一声 长叹一声 快活一声 悲哀一声
A wild laugh, a long sigh, a joyful shout, a cry of sorrow.
谁与我生死与共?
Who will share life and death with me?
来也匆匆 去也匆匆 恨不能相逢
Arriving in haste, leaving in haste, how I wish we could meet again.
爱也匆匆 恨也匆匆 一切都随风
Love comes in a rush, hate comes in a rush, everything just drifts away.
狂笑一声 长叹一声 快活一声 悲哀一声
A wild laugh, a long sigh, a joyful shout, a mournful cry.
谁与我生死与共?
Who will share life and death with me?
来也匆匆 去也匆匆 恨不能相逢
Arriving in haste, leaving in haste, how I wish we could meet again.
爱也匆匆 恨也匆匆 一切都随风
Love comes in a rush, hate comes in a rush, everything just drifts away.
狂笑一声 长叹一声 快活一声 悲哀一声
A wild laugh, a long sigh, a joyful shout, a mournful cry.
谁与我生死与共?
Who will share life and death with me?
谁与我生死与共?
Who will share life and death with me?
