Song Lyrics with Translation
《報答一生》
從前善話未願接受 In the past, I was not willing to accept kind words
從來不懂關心與否 Never understood whether to care
內心總是埋怨 束縛我自由 My heart filled with complaints about constraints to my freedom
原來路上儘是缺口 Turns out there are gaps in the road
原來不知天高地厚 Turns out I don’t know how complex (immensity of heaven and earth)
父親總是無怨 驅趕了逆流 Father has no complains, against the current trend
但願現在又可將一切懷舊 But now I wish everything could be as before
昨日愛意我已看透 I can see through the past love
然而報答永遠未夠 And I can never repay enough
為我奉獻 沒有盡頭 Endlessly devoted to me
如何艱辛不管以後 Despite how hard it is, regardless of the future
為我奉獻 沒有盡頭 Endlessly devoted to me
悠然笑說樂與悲憂 Unhurried speak of joy and sorrow
為我奉獻 沒有盡頭 Endlessly devoted to me
遙遙分開都不會漏 Separated by distance, will not miss out
為我奉獻 沒有盡頭 Endlessly devoted to me
如何報答就算一生 How to repay, even if it takes a lifetime
都不休 I will not rest
為何叛逆未願退後 Why rebel and unwilling to retreat
為何偏激只想遠走 Why go to extremes and want to go far away
誤解總是無意 Misunderstandings tend to be unintentional
增添了悶愁 Adding to the melancholy
