  1. 生命 每个人不公平没道理

    Yet life is unfair and unjust to everyone,

  2. 只能泥泞迎向骤雨由不得你

    Only to plunge into the mud, facing the sudden downpour, you have no choice.

  3. 骤雨 一路泥泞 就像人生 不过即兴

    The unexpected rain, this street is muddied all the way, just like life, it's merely an improvisation.

  4. 整个世界 正在我们挑衅 就算如此还是前进

    The whole world is provoking us; even so, we must bravely move forward.

  5. 手中邮报 封面微笑 路口 生命暗巷尖叫

    The newsletter in my hands, the person on the cover is smiling; at the next intersection, life screams in the alley.

  6. 活著只是 油墨上面一角 明天之后 还有得到

    Living is just a corner on the ink; after tomorrow, who else will turn the pages?

  7. 不同方式 前方带刺荆棘

    I walk with you in different ways, stepping across the thorny path ahead.

  8. 畏惧退缩 低头沉默坚定

    You are arrogant, unafraid to retreat. I bow my head, silent yet steadfast.

  9. 用力 发出声音 他们安静 不敢相信

    With a powerful counterattack, I raise my voice, making them quiet, unable to believe.

  10. 继续前进 他们畏惧 眼睛 他们躲避

    Keep moving forward, they fear, wide-eyed, they evade.

  11. 然后放弃 专心聆听 我的声音

    Then give in, focus on hearing my voice

  12. 生命 每个人不公平没道理

    And life is unfair and unreasonable to everyone

  13. 只能泥泞迎向骤雨由不得你

    You can only plunge into the mud, facing that sudden rain, no choice for you

  14. 如果生命每个人不公平没道理

    If life is unfair and unreasonable to everyone

  15. 那就孤寂继续前进直到光明

    Then let me carry my solitude and move forward until the light

  16. 只有一种容貌 就是永远不会

    I, I, I, have only one face, I will never fall

  17. 就算逆境环绕 面对也要

    Even if adversity surrounds me, I will face it with a smile

  18. 只有一种咆哮我要他们知道

    I have only one roar, and I want them all to know

  19. 生命怎么粗糙都要骄傲

    No matter how rough my life is, I will live it with pride

  20. 自尊 看起来或许可笑

    I say, self-esteem, it may seem ridiculous

  21. 至少 跌倒

    But at least it supports me, trying not to let me fall.

  22. 活著 如果只是不甘寂寞喧嚣

    Living on, if it's only the restless noise of loneliness.

  23. 那就咆哮 每个人都能得到

    Then let it roar, so everyone can hear it.

  24. 用力 发出声音 他们安静 不敢相信

    Fight back with force, make a sound, let them be quiet, can’t believe it.

  25. 继续前进 他们畏惧 眼睛 他们躲避

    Keep moving forward, they fear, wide-eyed, they hide away.

  26. 然后放弃 专心聆听 我的声音

    Then give up, focus on listening to my voice.

  27. 生命 每个人不公平没道理

    And life, it’s unfair and unreasonable to everyone.

  28. 只能泥泞迎向骤雨由不得你

    Only able to rush into the mud, facing that sudden rain, it's beyond your control.

  29. 如果生命每个人不公平没道理

    If life is unfair and unreasonable to everyone,

  30. 那就孤寂继续前进直到光明

    Then let me carry my loneliness and move forward until the light.

  31. 生命 每个人不公平没道理

    Life is unfair and makes no sense for everyone,

  32. 只能泥泞迎向骤雨由不得你

    We can only rush into the mud, facing the sudden downpour that won't let you be.

  33. 如果生命每个人不公平没道理

    If life is unfair and makes no sense for everyone,

  34. 那就孤寂继续前进直到光明

    Then let me carry my solitude and move forward until I reach the light.

  35. 生命 每个人不公平没道理

    Life is unfair and makes no sense for everyone,

  36. 只能泥泞迎向骤雨由不得你

    We can only rush into the mud, facing the sudden downpour that won't let you be.

  37. 如果生命每个人不公平没道理

    If life is unfair and makes no sense for everyone,

  38. 那就孤寂继续前进直到光明

    Then let me carry my solitude and move forward until I reach the light.
