  1. 而生命 对每个人都不公平也没道理

    Yet life is unfair and unjust to everyone,

  2. 只能扑向泥泞迎向那阵骤雨由不得你

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

  3. 突来的骤雨 这条街一路泥泞 就像人生 不过是一场即兴

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

  4. 整个世界 正在对我们挑衅 就算如此还是得无惧前进

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

  5. 手中的邮报 封面的人在微笑 下个路口 生命在暗巷尖叫

    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 油墨上面的一角 明天之后 还有谁翻阅得到

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

  7. 我跟你用不同方式 踩过前方带刺荆棘

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

  8. 你嚣张不畏惧退缩 我低头沉默却坚定

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

  1. 用力的还击 发出声音 让他们安静 不敢相信

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

  2. 继续前进 他们畏惧 睁大眼睛 他们躲避

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

  3. 然后放弃 专心聆听 我的声音

    Then give in, focus on hearing my voice

  4. 而生命 对每个人都不公平也没道理

    And life is unfair and unreasonable to everyone

  5. 只能扑向泥泞迎向那阵骤雨由不得你

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

  6. 如果生命对每个人都不公平也没道理

    If life is unfair and unreasonable to everyone

  7. 那就让我带著孤寂继续前进直到光明

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

  8. 我 我 我 只有一种容貌 我就是永远不会倒

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

  9. 我就算逆境环绕 我面对也要带著笑

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

  10. 我只有一种咆哮,我要让他们都知道

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

  11. 我生命再怎么粗糙,我都要活的很骄傲

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

  12. 我说自尊啊 看起来或许可笑

    I say, self-esteem, it may seem ridiculous

  13. 但它至少 撑著我,试著不让我跌倒

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

  14. 活著 如果只是不甘寂寞的喧嚣

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

  15. 那就咆哮吧 让每个人都能听得到

    Then let it roar, so everyone can hear it.

  16. 用力的还击 发出声音 让他们安静 不敢相信

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

  17. 继续前进 他们畏惧 睁大眼睛 他们躲避

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

  18. 然后放弃 专心聆听 我的声音

    Then give up, focus on listening to my voice.

  19. 而生命 对每个人都不公平也没道理

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

  20. 只能扑向泥泞迎向那阵骤雨由不得你

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

  21. 如果生命对每个人都不公平也没道理

    If life is unfair and unreasonable to everyone,

  22. 那就让我带著孤寂继续前进直到光明

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

  23. 而生命 对每个人都不公平也没道理

    Life is unfair and makes no sense for everyone,

  24. 只能扑向泥泞迎向那阵骤雨由不得你

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

  25. 如果生命对每个人都不公平也没道理

    If life is unfair and makes no sense for everyone,

  26. 那就让我带著孤寂继续前进直到光明

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

  27. 而生命 对每个人都不公平也没道理

    Life is unfair and makes no sense for everyone,

  28. 只能扑向泥泞迎向那阵骤雨由不得你

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

  29. 如果生命对每个人都不公平也没道理

    If life is unfair and makes no sense for everyone,

  30. 那就让我带著孤寂继续前进直到光明

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