告别了温柔乡
gào bié le wēn róu xiāng
I’ve bade farewell to my hometown
去远方闯一闯
qù yuǎn fāng chuǎng yī chuǎng
and ventured into the distant lands
我明白你心中志向
wǒ míng bái nǐ xīn zhōng zhì xiàng
I understand your aspirations
山高与水长
shān gāo yǔ shuǐ cháng
Going on a long journey
免不了跌宕
miǎn bu liǎo diē dàng
there’s bound to be uncertainties
但愿你初心不忘
dàn yuàn nǐ chū xīn bù wàng
I hope that you won’t forget your original aspirations
深情与离别遇上
shēn qíng yǔ lí bié yù shàng
‘Deep affections’ and ‘Farewell’ have run into each other
只叫人百转柔肠
zhǐ jiào rén bǎi zhuǎn róu cháng
leaving people feeling deeply hurt
谁懂我朝思暮想
shéi dǒng wǒ zhāo sī mù xiǎng
Who understands my yearning that lasts from dawn to dusk
皎洁的月光
jiǎo jié de yuè guāng
The moonlight is bright and clear
想邀你细赏
xiǎng yāo nǐ xì shǎng
I want to invite you to enjoy it with me
可惜已天各一方
kě xī yǐ tiān gè yī fāng
It’s a pity that we’re already in different corners of the world
就借这月光
jiù jiè zhè yuè guāng
I’ll use this moonlight as an excuse
再与你对望
zài yǔ nǐ duì wàng
to see you again
不管落魄风光
bù guǎn luò pò fēng guāng
No matter how dire the situation you’re in
我都为你守望
wǒ dōu wèi nǐ shǒu wàng
I’ll watch over you
就让这月光
jiù ràng zhè yuè guāng
I’ll let this moonlight
把你的回程路照亮
bǎ nǐ de huí chéng lù zhào liàng
illuminate your return journey
有太多的话
yǒu tài duō de huà
There’s too many things
与你慢慢讲
yǔ nǐ màn màn jiǎng
that slowly, I want to tell you about
饮过了风与霜
yǐn guò le fēng yǔ shuāng
Having tasted all the hardships
把思念唱一唱
bǎ sī niàn chàng yī chàng
I’ll sing of my longing
不自觉已满眼泪光
bù zì jué yǐ mǎn yǎn lèi guāng
Before I know it, my eyes are filled with tears
江湖与闯荡
jiāng hú yǔ chuǎng dàng
Venturing Jianghu
不想你失望
bù xiǎng nǐ shī wàng
I don’t want to disappoint you
我只愿都有回响
wǒ zhǐ yuàn dōu yǒu huí xiǎng
I only hope that you’ll respond
