时间的箭头 都指向你铩羽而归的地方
The arrow of time points to the place where you return, feathers lost.
你会前进 但终究还是得要习惯投降
You will move forward, but in the end, you must learn to surrender.
想当然耳 第六步是你最大的致命伤
Naturally, the sixth step becomes your greatest fatal flaw.
我按兵不动 出于习惯凡事沉默的酝酿
I hold my ground, out of habit, brewing silence in everything.
当头炮 纯粹出于我礼貌的开扬
The opening move comes purely from my polite demeanor.
屏风马 神华内敛才能以柔克刚
The horse behind the screen must possess subtlety to overcome strength.
第二十六著炮五进四 只是在试探性衡量
The twenty-sixth move, moving five into four, is merely a probe.
三十三著车二平七的出手
The thirty-third move, a strike with two to seven, makes its entrance.
你恐怕就暗箭难防
I'm afraid you won't see the hidden arrows coming.
这一场不流血的仗只有自尊会受伤
This battle, bloodless, leaves only pride to be wounded.
成王败寇的铁则跟现实没啥两样
The iron rule of the victor and the vanquished is just like reality,
提著鸟笼的老头站在一旁拍我肩膀
An old man with a birdcage stands by, tapping my shoulder,
我猜他想的应该和我一样
I guess he thinks like I do,
看我 我手指放松
Look at me, my fingers are relaxed,
我目光如龙 当敌人是空
My gaze is like a dragon, when the enemy is just air,
我战法无穷 我攻势如风
My tactics are endless, my offense blows like the wind,
用单车入宫 辗过你懊丧的脸孔
Riding my bike into the palace, rolling over your despondent face,
管我 我手指放松
Forget me, my fingers are relaxed,
我目光如龙 当敌人是空
My gaze is like a dragon, when the enemy is just air,
我左右开弓 我气势如虹
I strike from both sides, my momentum as fierce as a rainbow.
将炮马尽用 兵临城下想逃都没用
Use all the artillery, troops at the gates, there's no escape in sight.
我对著潮汐推敲什么是 以静制动
I ponder what it means to still the waves against the tide.
山林间迷雾能不能当障眼法的内容
In the mist of the mountains, can it serve as a veil to deceive the eyes?
月转星移的轨迹跟临军布阵相同
The moon shifts, the stars move, their path mirrors the march of warriors.
风林火山 是不是用兵之重
Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain, is that the weight of strategy?
到最后 必然是我运筹帷幄你最后放弃抵抗
In the end, it will surely be my scheming while you surrender in defeat.
我仰望著夕阳你低头黯然离场
I gaze at the sunset while you bow your head, leaving in silence.
听我说胜败是兵家之常 你不用放在心上
Listen to me, victory and defeat are just the nature of warfare; don’t take them to heart.
是因为我只适合无双
It's because I'm only suited for the unmatched.
看我 我手指放松
Look at me, my fingers relax.
我目光如龙 当敌人是空
My gaze is like a dragon, when the enemy is but a void.
我战法无穷 我攻势如风
My tactics are endless, my offense swift as the wind.
用单车入宫 辗过你懊丧的脸孔
I ride into the palace on a bicycle, rolling over your sorrowful face.
管我 我手指放松
Mind me, my fingers stay relaxed.
我目光如龙 当敌人是空
My gaze is like a dragon, when the enemy is but a void.
我左右开弓 我气势如虹
I draw my bow in both directions, my momentum like a rainbow.
将炮马尽用 兵临城下想逃都没用
Utilizing every artillery, with troops at the gates, there's no escaping.
看我 我手指放松 (阳光从树叶细缝 露出了笑容)
See me, my fingers stay relaxed (The sunlight peeks through the leaves, revealing a smile).
我目光如龙 当敌人是空
My gaze is like a dragon, when the enemy is but a void.
我战法无穷 我攻势如风 (温暖了我的美梦)
My tactics are endless, my offense swift as the wind (Warming up my beautiful dreams).
用单车入宫 辗过你懊丧的脸孔
Riding a bike into the palace, rolling over your frustrated face,
管我 我手指放松 (只有笼里的画眉羡慕著天空)
Let it be, my fingers relax (only the caged songbird envies the sky),
我目光如龙 当敌人是空
My gaze is like a dragon, when the enemy is but air,
我左右开弓 我气势如虹 (却从来没有人懂)
I shoot arrows left and right, my momentum like a rainbow (yet no one ever understands),
将炮马尽用 兵临城下想逃都没用
Using all my cannons, the army is at the gates, there’s no escape,
看我 我手指放松 (阳光从树叶细缝 露出了笑容)
Look at me, my fingers relax (the sunlight peeks through the leaves, showing a smile),
我目光如龙 当敌人是空
My gaze is like a dragon, when the enemy is but air,
我战法无穷 我攻势如风 (温暖了我的美梦)
My tactics are boundless, my attack is like the wind (warming my beautiful dreams),
用单车入宫 辗过你懊丧的脸孔
Riding a bike into the palace, rolling over your frustrated face,
管我 我手指放松 (只有笼里的画眉羡慕著天空)
Let it be, my fingers relax (only the caged songbird envies the sky)
我目光如龙 当敌人是空
My gaze is like a dragon, enemies are but shadows.
我左右开弓 我气势如虹 (却从来没有人懂)
I strike with both hands, my spirit soars like a rainbow (yet no one ever understands).
将炮马尽用 兵临城下想逃都没用
Unleashing all my artillery, trapped at the city gates, there's no escape.
