Being fragile and proud

那也曾是我的模样

我 曾经 跨过 山和大海  也 穿过 人山 人海

wǒ céng jīng kuà guò shān hé dà hǎi yě chuān guò rén shān rén hǎi

I’ve crossed untold mountains and oceans, as well as through huge crowds

我曾经拥有着一切  转眼都飘散如烟

wǒ céng jīng yōng yǒu zhe yī qiè zhuǎn yǎn dōu piāo sàn rú yān

Once, I had everything; but soon, it was all gone

我曾经 失落 失望 失掉 所有方向

wǒ céng jīng shī luò shī wàng shī diào suǒ yǒu fāng xiàng

Once, I was frustrated, desperate and even lost all my direction

直到看见平凡才是唯一的答案 

zhí dào kàn jiàn píng fán cái shì wéi yī de dá àn

Only to find the only answer is on the ordinary road.

当你仍然  还在幻想

dāng nǐ réng rán  hái zài huàn xiǎng

While you are still wondering

你的明天 via via

nǐ de míng tiān via via

That your future via via

她会好吗 还是更烂

tā huì hǎo ma hái shì gèng làn

Will it better or get worse?

对我而言是另一天

duì wǒ ér yán shì lìng yì tiān

Another day for me has passed.

(**)

我曾经毁了我的一切 只想永远地离开

wǒ céng jīng huǐ le wǒ de yī qiè zhǐ xiǎng yǒng yuǎn de lí kāi

I once ruined everything so I just had to disappear forever.

我曾经堕入无边黑暗 想挣扎无法自拔

wǒ céng jīng duò rù wú biān hēi àn  xiǎng zhēng zhá  wú fǎ zì bá

I fell into the endless darkness, failing to help myself.

我曾经像你像他像那野草野花

wǒ céng jīng xiàng nǐ xiàng tā xiàng nà yě cǎo yě huā

I used to be the one like you, like him, like wild flowers

绝望着 渴望着 哭着笑着平凡着

jué wàng zhe kě wàng zhe kū zhe xiào zhe píng fán zhe

Full of despair and longing, crying, smiling and being ordinary

向前走 就这么走 就算你被给过什么

xiàng qián zǒu jiù zhè me zǒu jiù suàn nǐ bèi gěi guò shén me

Go ahead, exactly in this way, no matter what you’ve suffered

向前走 就这么走 就算你被夺走什么

xiàng qián zǒu jiù zhè me zǒu jiù suàn nǐ bèi duó zǒu shén me

Go ahead, exactly in this way, no matter what has been taken away from you.

向前走 就这么走 就算你会错过什么

xiàng qián zǒu jiù zhè me zǒu jiù suàn nǐ huì cuò guò shén me

Go ahead, exactly in this way, though you will miss something

向前走 就这么走 就算你会

xiàng qián zǒu jiù zhè me zǒu jiù suàn nǐ huì

Go ahead, exactly in this way, no matter what you ...

Back to: (*), (**)

我曾经问遍整个世界 从来没得到答案

Wo ceng jing wèn biàn zhěng gè shì jiè  cóng lái méi dé dào dá àn

I asked the whole world, but never got the answer.

我不过像你像他像那野草野花

wǒ bù guò xiàng nǐ xiàng tā xiàng nà yě cǎo yě huā

I used to be the one like you, like him, like wild flowers

冥冥中这是我 唯一要走的路啊

míng míng zhōng zhè shì wǒ wéi yī yào zǒu de lù a

The one way I want to go is doomed.

时间无言 如此这般

shí jiān  wú yán rú cǐ zhè bān

As time flies, just like that

明天已在眼前

míng tiān yǐ zài  yǎn qián

Tomorrow is just around the corner

风吹过的 路依然远

fēng chuī guò de lù yī rán yuǎn

With the breeze blowing, there is a long way to go.

你的故事讲到了哪

nǐ de gù shì jiǎng dào le nǎ

Your story,  how is it going?
